LeBron James.

With Jordan as SF, Curry at the SG, me at the PG, probably still champs.

Put Lebron at PF and give me another defensive wing, someone like Kawhi would be a good fit.

Though Shaq probably isn't optimal here because of defense if you put Lebron at the 4. So yea KG is another good fit if you want to keep those guys where they're at.

I’d like Rodman, or maybe Robert Horry for that spot. Not that it matters much anyway; that team sweeps their way to a title.

Durant. Can space allowing for Shaq to do his thing inside and Mike/LeBron to slash but can also rim protect if needed.

There is more than enough scoring. You want someone who can guard 5 positions and shoot 40% from 3.

Then don't take Draymond because he's weak shooter who doesn't even pressure defense.

I would choose Garnett. Great defender, offers good spacing, good passer, doesn't need the ball to have a big impact.

If we are choosing single years here, Draymond shot 40% in 2016.

Easily Dirk imo. Why do you need another defender when you already have Shaq, Jordan and Lebron? I'd argue you need more shooting especially at the PF position for spacing purposes.
