The 2023-2024 Bucks plus Jrue vs. the 2016-2019 Warriors. Assume the Bucks players are all at their peaks and the Warriors players are at the level they were in during their three seasons together.

Brook became a defensive force and 3 pt shooter post peak so are assuming a Nets Brook?

Bucks, GS lacks size and a guy with elite force going downhill.

It’s possible Middleton has fallen off. But otherwise I agree, Dame/Jrue/Giannis were all in prime last season, and I clearly prefer this version of Brook for a squad like this, though I get the argument for his Nets days.

Hard to pick without seeing how Dame/Giannis mesh.

Middleton and even Holiday have fallen off too much for me to pick the Bucks. That 2023 first round series against the Heat was shameful injuries or not

What makes Holiday worse now? I don't see a big difference between 2021 and 2023 Jrue--all of which are likely his 3 best seasons as a professional.

You act like Holiday did something so incredible or wasn't able to be taken advantage of in the past, and I feel like that overlooks most of his prime.

Holiday can be inconsistent offensively but going against Jimmy in jordan mode pre ankle injury in single coverage when he’s on his mode like he was, isn’t gonna do anything

Holiday the best perimeter defensive guard in the league still esp with less offensice responsibility

2020 Middleton was genuinely a two way all star caliber player, Middleton right now isn’t that.

Even with dame, the defense this bucks team would have is absurd. If we’re talking all at their peaks, you could genuinely argue they have 3 all defensive first team level guys
