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

How about building one to beat the Cavs.

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.

You're right, you don't need size...KAT is good. A guy that can cover the pick and roll well at the 5 is important. I have Lebron as my 4 and I think that works well

I have always said LeBron is misused as a 3. He gives the biggest advantages as a 4 or a 1.

Warriors are at least $19.

Westbrook ($5)
Beal ($2)

D'Angelo Russell, Swaggy P, Harrison Barnes, Michael Beasley, Andrew Bogut

at Swaggy P. He almost JPP'd his shooting hand a couple of days ago.

SF: Paul George ($4)

The 2019 Los Angeles Lakers.

 

[Xulu Bak]

1) Cavs' actual lineup
2) Trade Love for Wiggins
3) Win

 

[HurricaneDij39]

You clowns won't beat this:

• C Rudy Gobert $2
  
• PF LeBron James $7
  
• SF Khris Middleton $2
  
• SG Dwyane Wade $3
  
• PG Brandon Knight $1

Just the right combination of shooters, playmakers, toughness, experience, and chemistry to take GS down...

This is a flawed exercise.

KD - 6
Steph - 6
Klay - 5
Green - 4
Pachulia - 1

Total - 22

Allow an equal budget or GTFU.

 

[OregonDucks]

I will just wait to see what team LeBron forms this offseason.

 

[Rockinkuwait]

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.

Take out Love, use 1$ for Richard Jefferson instead, and give the extra dollar you aren't spending to a Warriors fan to buy himself some kleenex?

That is the entire point though. Real life teams have a budget, which makes this group of players utterly ridiculous. Also, Iguodala would be a $2 player on the bench.

 

[tlance]

But, if I am given $22, this squad would beat them for sure:

LeBron-7
Leonard-5
KAT- 4
George- 4
Middleton- 2

LeBron plays the point and is surrounded by long athletic wings who can shoot and defend multiple positions. KAT would be an impossible mismatch inside, and also brings floor spacing ability. This group would be ridiculous.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Westbrook
DWade
Ben Simmons
Anthony Davis
Steven Adams

Or

Westbrook
Monta
Ben Simmons
LeBron
Steven Adams

Either would smash

I agree w/ you. To build a team to beat the Warriors you should be able to spend the same amount. Here would be my team...

Westbrook (5)
Irving (4)
Leonard (5)
LeBron (7)
T. Thompson (1)
