    Best teams I could come with:

    PG - John Wall ($4)
    SG - James Harden ($5)
    SF - DeMarre Carroll ($1)
    PF - Serge Ibaka ($3) (I think better fit on this team than Horford because of defensive versatility.)
    C - Jonas Valanciunas ($2)

    PG - John Wall ($4)
    SG - Nicolas Batum ($1)
    SF - Lebron James ($7)
    PF - Tristan Thompson ($1)
    C - Jonas Valanciunas ($2)

    Conley(2)
    Redick (1)
    Kawhi (5)
    Davis (5)
    Gobert (2)

    Defensive team, three DPOTY candidates, sharp shooter, and above average point guard.

    Lowry
    PG13
    Greek Freak
    KAT
    Noel

    Pure defense from all 5 positions. Multiple playmakers at the 1, 2 and 3. Good passers at the 1, 2, 3 and 4.

    Shooting isn't as strong as other lineups, but you don't need that with strong scorers in Lowry, PG13 and KAT. All can play the perimeter or the paint. And you need good paint offense now that Bogut is gone. Not to mention, D West might go soft on PG13 since they're buds.

    Perhaps a more realistic question is this: Can a team in the NBA build a team to match up with the Warriors in a 7 game series by taking their current roster and future assets and making some realistic deals before the February trade deadline?

    Or

    Dragic (1)
    Redick (1)
    Kawhi (5)
    Davis (5)
    Horford (3)

    It makes it harder for Green since now SOMEONE needs to guard one of Horford and Davis. Gobert would have been to easy for the Warriors to defend, but now that fake team has to diverse offensive big men that are above average defensively then it can make a problem for Golden State.

    Only problem is that Dragic and Redick is still a weak back court. Obviously if Dragic was still good he'd be worth 2 bucks, but with him regressing 1 dollar seems like a good gamble on a guy who can drive in on will on a guy like Curry. Plus Redick is a better fit than Wade since Redick can space the floor along with Brow, Kawhi and Horford. Gives Dragic more space to handle the ball and hopefully makes him better.. Hopefully. It's not the best defensive back court, but hopefully it works. If not Dragic then we can use George Hill who is still a solid defender and good 3 point shooter. Not the ball handler or scorer Dragic is capable of being though.

    Holiday/Bradley/Redick - $1
    LeBron - $7
    Kawhi - $5
    Batum - $1
    Adams/Jokic - $1

    Middleton - $2
    LeBron - $7
    George - $4
    Batum - $1
    Adams/Jokic - $1

    Batum and Adams for $1 is a steal. Jokic might be one of the most underrated players in the NBA. It's too bad Lebron is $7 and not $6, I think it'd be hard to have a team beat the Warriors without LeBron.

    Bradley (1)
    Middleton (2)
    Kawhi (5)
    George (4)
    Giannis (3)

    Almost everyone can shoot, switch and defend 3 positions, ballhandle and playmake.

    PG Mike Conley ($2)
    SG Kyle Korver ($1)
    SF Khris Middleton ($2)

    Easy. Lebron James + elite shooters + elite defenders = championship.

    Irving (4) - We know what he does to Curry
    Redick (1) - 3 & D
    Kawhi (5) - designated KD clamper, can get you buckets
    PG (4) - can switch on 1-4, also can get you buckets
    TT (1) - rebounding, excellent job switching on perimeter guys

    Paul $5
    Middleton $2
    Hayward $2
    KAT $4
    Gobert $2

    Paul to run the show, Middleton and Hayward as 2-way wings who can shoot, KAT as the do-it-all guy, and the Steiffel Tower to shut down the paint.

    Why cap it at $15 when GSW have about $25 tied up in their starting 5?

    Curry ($6)
    Thompson ($5)
    Iggy ($3)
    Durant ($6)
    Green ($5)

    Anyway I'd go:

    Paul
    JJ Reddick
    LeBron
    Batum
    Adams

    And for the LULZ I'd go:

    Rubio
    Tony Allen
    Corey Brewer
    Biyombo
    JaVale McGee
