Stipulation - they play at the level of their 2021-22 season and they have to have played in half (41) of the games.
Jokic
Embiid
Siakim
Giannis
Luka
More talented, but they're on the large side.
Can you put together a US team to beat this international team?

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Re: Can you put together a US team to beat this international team?
So I assume the "positions" would be based on player size/mobility
C - Jokic
F - Embiid
F - Giannis
G - Siakam
G - Luka
Ridiculously tall/big, but somehow enough ball handling/movement and shooting for it to be coherent offensively. Kind of crazy actually
Not sure I can beat that team but in order to do so you'd have to attack their weakness which would be footspeed and potential issues with perimeter defense as well as almost assuredly having to play drop. So to combat their absurd size I'd go for a mobile team of switchable "mid" size players with a certain chef to anchor the offense and hunt drop schemes
C - Adebayo
F - Draymond
F - Durant
G - Tatum
G - Curry
C - Jokic
F - Embiid
F - Giannis
G - Siakam
G - Luka
