Can You Build a Superteam to Beat the Warriors? — The Ringer

You get to pick players with a budget of $15.

I'll be starting mine soon. Post your team once you've picked it.

The answer is no, because their team would cost like $22, but here is how I would roll:

LeBron
Paul George
Middleton
Avery Bradley
T. Thompson

This would be an extremely long and athletic team with interchangeable defenders, physicality and plenty of shooting. This group could compete.

Kawhi Leonard- $5
Karl Anthony Towns - $4
Giannis Antetokounmpo- $3
Mike Conley - $2
Avery Bradley - $1

That's 16 (7 w/ Lebron, 4 Kyrie, 3 for Love, 1 for JR, 1 for TT). I see what you tried to do there though.

Adams
Lebron
George
Bradley
Conley

Adams is pretty much the best center you can get for cheap that can defend the pick and roll and perimeter decent and has the size. Lebron and George are two unstoppable two way players. I have 2 guys to defend KD. I have Bradley cover Klay and hit the 3 ball. Then I have Conley, a good distributor.

stupid. You have to build a $15 team to beat a $22-23 team.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Jeff Teague
Paul George
Gordon Hayward
Lebron James
Tristan Thompson

The ORIGINAL Superteam.......Cost: $0

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Anthony Davis
Kenneth Faried
Gordon Hayward
Kemba Walker
Giannis Antetokounmpo

 

[Wishbone]

The Kentucky Wildcats?

However, if it were fair and I had 22 dollars, I would choose....

Lebron
AD
Paul George
Jimmy Butler
Mike Conley

I agree with this and the defense would be insane. I can't imagine the little munchkins on GS out rebounding James+Paul+Adams and all 3 of those + Bradley can hang and play EXCELLENT perimeter defense.

It'd be funny watching about 75% of the rest of the teams score less than 80 every game.

Khawi
Whiteside
Giannis
Conley
Beasley

 

[Shanemansj13]

Khawi
Whiteside
Giannis
Conley
Beasley

I think Beasley is worth less than a $1

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Lebron (7$)
Dirk (3$)
TT(1$)
Conley(2$)
Evans(2$)

 

[Mebert]

PG. George Hill $1
SG. Khris Middleton $2
SF. Kahwi Leonard $5
PF. Anthony Davis $5
C. Rudy Gobert $2

I would not take Whiteside at even value over Gobert, so it was very nice that he was priced at half the cost.

It seems many think size is the way to beat GS. I don't necessarily agree. You need athletes who can switch 1-5 to defend them effectively. If you get too big, you can't guard them. If I am spending on a center, it would be someone with skills like KAT.

I did go with a lot of size, but I each player I chose was built to guard the opposing player. You won't find better than Kahwi on Durant, Anthony Davis on Green, Middleton on Thompson, and Hill on Curry. After that I had $2 for a center, if I could afford KAT then sure he would be preferable, but having the ultimate rim protector as the 5th seemed like the best option.

Warriors gain a bigger advantage when they bring Iggy off the bench, but the trade off is the same on the other side.
