team Franchise not enough wing-defense but I like the offense

team free agent is perfect.

not a surprise given that the pool of franchise-faithful superstars is much smaller and precious

I voted Team Free Agent for a 7 game series, but the longer you stretch this out (a whole season? a series of seasons?), the closer you get to preferring Team Franchise.

Also, a 7 game series never happens in a vacuum in real life like it would in this hypothetical. "Non-basketball" factors always exist in reality.

Why is Chris Paul here? He never left his team in Free Agency.

True, but IIRC he did force his way out of NO. Ultimately though I just liked him with these lineups and didn't immediately think of another PG who did outright sign elsewhere and fit these teams better. Maybe should have used Nash

I thought about Kyrie but he's so much worse than everyone else that I feared it would tank Team Free Agent
