Let's Play a Game!: Beat the Warriors

[HuskyFich]

With only $15. Create a team that you think can beat the GSW...

My Team
PG: Kyrie Irving $4
SG: Avery Bradley $1
SF: LeBron James $7
PF: Kristaps Porzingis $2
C: Tristian Thompson $1

 

[JimHurley]

PG: Russell Westbrook $5
SG: Victor Oladipo $1
SF: LeBron James $7
PF: Julius Randle $1
C: Jahlil Okafor $1

Here's my thought process:
Westbrook is a physical defender who can also score at will. He'd keep Curry in check and also average 20+ PPG.
Oladipo is a nasty defender. He'd do a great job on Klay Thompson. Also, a decent scorer averaging ~ 16PPG.
LeBron needs no explanation. Best player on earth. Could shut down Durant and also would feast on Durant's shaky defense.
Randle is a big body needed to contain Draymond. He can rebound with the best of them and also averaged a respectable 11 PPG.
Okafor would have a field day on the non-existent Warriors center. Below average defender but then again, the Warriors front court isn't going to kill you on offense.
All in all, the backcourt of Oladipo and Westbrook provides great scoring and elite defense, both of which are needed to outperform Steph and Klay. LeBron owns the court in every way. Better player than Durant in all aspects. Then the front court of Randle and Okafor possesses big size which could give the Warriors trouble. Randle would be down low to scoop up the boards and Okafor can get you the points in the paint. Truly believe these 5 would beat the Warriors.

 

[Nebraskan18]

PG: Lillard $4
SG: Bradley $1
SF: Leonard $5
PF: Ibaka $3
C: Brook Lopez $2

 

[UC1995]

Team Everyone Else
PG: Magic Johnson $1
SG: Michael Jordan $1
SF: Julius Erving $1
PF: Larry Bird $1
C: Moses Malone $1

Team Everyone Else
PG: Magic Johnson $1
SG: Michael Jordan $1
SF: Julius Erving $1
PF: Larry Bird $1
C: Moses Malone $1

I believe that resurrection of the dead (RIP Moses) costs more than a dollar.
Besides Wilt would be the better choice.

 

[rayrayfor3]

PG: Chris Paul $5
SG: Bradley $1
G/F: LeBron $7
PF: Thompson $1
C: Steven Adams $1

Also, a steal for $1 would be Jeff Teague at point, but just didn't work into my lineup. I feel like LeBron/CP3 would complement each other so well and then just have a shooter/defensive guy in Bradley. Offense would be tough with this lineup but defensively it is top notch. These bigs would dominate against the lack of rim protectors of GS.

 

[Walker11]

I'll go Russ Batum Crowder George Davis

 

[KemBuckets21]

Adams, Porzingis, Giannis, butler, Russ.

defense and switching.

 

[BrysonDeMan]

C = Anthony Davis $5
PF= Lebron James $7
SF= Rudy Gay $1
2G= JJ Reddick $1
PG= Derrick Rose $1

 

[Deepster]

Lebron, Drummond, Kemba and any two $1 guys you want.

 

[August_West]

El-Amin
Moore
Hamilton
Freeman
Voskuhl

Curry wouldn't get a shot off against the clamps. Freeman would make Durant cry.

 

[Rocktheworld]

LeBron 7
Pau 2
Beal 2
Conley 2
Evans 2

 

[navery12]

LeBron, Towns, Porzingis , Batum, Bradley

 

[superjohn]

$4 Irving, $2 McCollum, $4 George, $1 Tristan Thompson, $4 Towns

 

[Walker11]

$4 Irving, $2 McCollum, $4 George, $1 Tristan Thompson, $4 Towns

I'm not sure you can trot out 3 minus defensive players on a Lebron-less team.

LeBron, Towns, Porzingis , Batum, Bradley

I love 1-3 but I don't like imagining Towns and Porzingis trying to keep up with all of the switching. Probably in a couple years.

LeBron 7
Pau 2
Beal 2
Conley 2
Evans 2

Swith out Pau for a rim protector like Gobert. Put in a shooter who can switch on D like Middleton instead of Tyreke.

Was deciding between those 2 or something like Giannis and Ibaka instead

No one cares.

No one cares.

What is the point of this thread other than to generate off-season discussion?

 

[methodology]

PG: Kyle Lowry $3
SG: Danny Green $1
SF: Paul George $4
PF: Paul Milsap $4
C: DeAndre Jordan $3

 

[Walker11]

PG: Kyle Lowry $3
SG: Danny Green $1
SF: Paul George $4
PF: Paul Milsap $4
C: DeAndre Jordan $3

I like this squad. Its hard to go against Lebron + another stud + three 3&D guys but this team looks legit. Especially if Green remembers how to shoot.

 

[Horatio]

Kyrie Irving $4- He already beat GSW and won the match up against Curry.
Jamal Crawford $1 - he can give you a lot for just $1
Lebron $7 - He already beat GSW and would be the best player on the court
Zach Randolph $2 - fits my budget and is still capable /2016 15 ppg ,7 rpg
Tristan Thompson $1 - he just did very well against GSW

 

[Rocktheworld]

How much would OP value each member of the Warriors? I think that's important to determine the max value with which we are allowed to build our dream matchup. Why does GS get $20+ and we get $15?

Also it's interesting because is Steph Curry worth $7 on LeBron's level? If not, why was he unanimous MVP? If he's $6, what weird in-between level is he in?

 

[auror]

I'll go Russ Batum Crowder George Davis

You're close. I think it needs more shooting.

My (correct) answer is
PG - Kyle Lowry ($3)
F - Paul George ($4)
F - Kawhi Leonard ($5)
F - Jae Crowder ($1)
F - Marvin Williams ($1)

And I spot you a dollar. All plus defenders, I'm switching everything on D except Lowry onto a C, all 35%+ from 3 (4 at 38%+), should be able to gang rebound.
My inspiration.

 

[JimHurley]

I just can't justify not having LeBron on my team. He has to be one of the five.

15 $1 players duh
