Same rules as before, except this time I've massively expanded the player pools at each position. Don't argue with me to try to change the monetary tiers of players unless something is completely game-breaking awful. I'm sure we'll all have minor disagreements here and there, and I may have overvalued or undervalued certain players for an underlying reason in terms of the team building.

Rules:
- You no longer have to choose at least one player from each position, and you can play any player you want at any position you want (e.g., LeBron James at PG, Anthony Davis at C).
- You may not eclipse the $15 spending limit, but you also do not have to reach it.
- Any player not listed under the position headers, such as J.R. Smith, may be acquired for your lineup for $0, which frees up money for other positions. However, since the tiers have been massively expanded, you'll only be able to get mostly scrubs for $0. Part of the game is seeing value in players where I personally did not.
- Good luck!

Terry Rozier ($1)
Caris LeVert ($0)
Kevin Durant ($5)
LeBron James ($5)
Steven Adams ($4)

This team obviously revolves fully around the Big-3 of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steven Adams. Pick and rolls, with Adams & LBJ and pick and pops with Adams & Durant or Durant & LBJ would be completely lethal.

Terry Rozier is a cheap starting guard that is capable of deferring to the stars, running the offense, and playing a well rounded game all-around.

I scraped Caris LeVert off of the bargain bin in hopes he can play respectable defense and help keep the floor spread (he's a 35.6% three point shooter). He's young and athletic, so he will help this already insane team on the break.
 
PG- Patrick Beverly ($1)
SG- Kent Bazemore ($1)
SF- Lebron James ($5)
PF- Kevin Durant ($5)
C- Clint Capela ($3)

Best defensive team ever?
 
Jamal Murray (2)
Gary Harris (3)
Kyle Korver (1)
Kevin Durant (5)
Nikola Jokic (4)

Good luck stopping us

PS, I know this is 3 Nuggets plus Korver and Durant. I love the Nuggets.
 
$5: LeBron James
$5: Anthony Davis
$4: Klay Thompson
$1: Danny Green
$0: Cedi Osman

Going with a little love for our boy Cedi, but I think his energy, defense and ability to move would work good with this team. You would have LJ be the PG, and would have a team full of shooters that would space the floor for him and AD. On defense you had AD cleaning up the mess, and Klay and Danny are both good on-ball defenders, allowing LJ to guard the hot player.

Good luck stopping anybody
 
PG- Kemba
SG- it literally doesn't matter. Look at the rest of this team. FFS even @Sir'Dom Pointer would do.
SF- LeBron
PF- Davis
C- Myles Turner

I actually still think Sir'Dom Pointer would be a fine player for the Cavs. Need to bring him as a two way player next year. He was fucking good in the summer league.

Andre Roberson/Tony Allen impact... i'm telling you.
 
($5) - Stephen Curry
($0) - JJ Reddick
($5) - Kevin Durant
($5) - LeBron James
($0) - Aaron Baynes (Top 10 in defensive win shares apparently)

The 3 best players in the league and 3 recent MVP's on one team, should be enough :chuckle:

JJ Reddick may be free, but JJ Redick is $3 bud :chuckle:

Oh yeah? My Lebron is going to be abusing 'it literally doesn't matter' in the post all day. We will attack him relentlessly on switches. And once my Zaza takes out your Davis on something you'd be stabbed on the playground for, it literally doesn't matter is going to have to step up into a bigger role I don't really think he's ready for at this point in his development.
 
JJ Reddick may be free, but JJ Redick is $3 bud :chuckle:

Hmmm I disagree, and heres my undisputed evidence! :celb (13):
