I have no clue how he made it TBH. I didn't make it. And how Booker didn't make any list.

Anyway,

Build #1

$2 Gobert
$5 Davis
$5 Kawhi
$1 Redick (or possibly Batum)
$2 Conley

Build #2
$5 Cousins
$5 Davis
$3 Giannis
$1 Redick (or possibly Batum)
$1 Dragic

And frankly I don't think its even close with either build. Well, maybe close given the ridiculous talent accumulation in Golden State, but still.

The board is kinda dry at this time so I figured I would steal this from realgm for kicks

Wall ($4), Booker ($1), Leonard ($5), Antetokounmpo ($3), and Gobert ($2) is a fun one.

$5 A. Davis
$4 J. Wall
$3 M. Gasol
$2 G. Hayward
$1 J. Redick

K. Anthony-Towns - $4
S. Ibaka - $3
Giannis - $3
Booker - $1
Lillard - $4

Giannis $3
Gobert $2
Kawhi $5
Draymond (not on here but I'm making him $2 and considering it a market inefficiency)
Hayward $2

Have fun scoring. And I have a dollar left over to have Robert Sacre on my bench.

$1 Jokic (C)
$5 Davis (PF)
$5 Kawhi (SF)
$2 Brad Beal (SG)
$2 Mike Conley (PG)

$1 Booker
$3 Giannis
$2 Conley
$5 AD
$2 Gobert

$2 for bench players - two guys who are spark plug scorers.

I find that team really hard to beat. Plus outside of Conley it's super young and will compete for years.

Some key things I kept in mind was you can't have a team of ultra high usage guys and tons of offensive power but no defense. This is why I went with Gobert at C and picked Conley for PG. Conley can still give you offense if needed but if you look at our team defense is sick. Gobert will be asked to basically do his role he had in Utah.

That said you still need a spark plug type guy that can just get insanely hot and blow teams away. Booker at $1 value is way too good. Maybe he's weak on defense but everyone else around him is absolutely killer so he is covered.

Giannis and AD I view as do everything's that round out the team amazingly. AD more of a scoring option, Giannis more of a passing option.

I left $2 open for the bench because I feel like you still need a guy or two who can just flat out shoot the ball. The Cavs I'm not worried about, they would lose to the starting 5 but GS will sometimes just get stupid hot from 3pt range and you need a guy or two who can keep it close until they cool down.

Conley- $2
Hayward- $2
Kawhi- $5
PG- $4
Gobert- $2

$2 McCollum PG/SG
$1 Booker SG/PG
$3 Giannis SF/PF
$5 AD PF/C
$2 Gobert C

$2 Khris Middleton (6th man) - SG or SF

$2 Conley $1 Holiday
$2 Beal $1 Redick $1 Fournier
$3 Giannis $1 Winslow
$1 Jokic $1 Patterson
$2 Gobert

$15

May not win it all but that team could play defense and move the ball.

This is my list of a NBA Dominating Team
1- R. Westbrook OKC
2- K. Thompson GSW
3- L. James Cavs
4- AD Pels
5- Jordon LAC

I like this (has to start will Wall and Davis)
Wall 4
Davis 5
Butler 4 but Hayward would be ok for 2
Booker 1
Jokic 1 or Embiid 1

If I had to field a team
Dragic, Rubio -2
Beal, Booker -3
Porter, Batum or Winslow -2
Davis, Simmons -6
Jokic, Embiid -2
