Walton's great but I think peak Wilt's the best player here and you're surrounding him with KG, CP3, Gervin, and Iguodala? That defense would be bonkers and there's plenty of offensive production there as well.

Wow, these teams are insane. Both in terms od talent and actual fit.
I think Wilt's team has more offensive firepower, although I'm not sure I love Paul-Wilt fit. Frazier would be a nightmare for Paul on defense as well.
On the other hand, Garnett and Wilt inside is too much to overcome. I'd vote for team B, but I'm open for more arguments.

That defense with Wilt and Garnett is just too nasty. That firmly puts me with Team B.

Re: Who wins this epic match-up and why? Team A vs. Team B
With team A, I'd be starting Ingles and bringing Manu off the bench (Ginobili still gets the starter minutes of course) as Gale and Mitch Robinson provided little offense plus that's how Pop did it and I trust his judgement on maximizing Manu's production. I'm a little stronger on Team A if you can assume you have the mythical and never actually existed Ironman Walton playing without pain. I'd call it a tossup. Of course, if you have the real Walton, it won't be as successful.
