Re: Choose your Team with $15 and then vote
I'm not going to have a traditional point and put Lebron at Point forward.
G: Stephen Curry $4
G: Ray Allen -> $1
Point F: Lebron James ->$5
PF: KG - $3
C: Patrick Ewing $2
KG and Ewing are going to absolutely LOCK down the post. Good luck for anyone who drives downlow.
Offensively Lebron James is going to have the top 2 perimeter shooters of all time. So either your first poison is A, Lebron driving full steam down low with a more open lane with Curry and Allen on waiting for the rock.
You crowd the post so Lebron doesn't go off in the paint (Probably your best choice) and then Lebron kicks it to either a Curry or Ray for a wide open trey.
Or C you find KG and or Ewing in the low post for a easy dunk/put back. Lebrons last option.

Lebron runs point and finds the open shooters. Spaced out floor entire time for Bron. Jojo & Bron lethal DPOY peak. Embiid > Ewing because of 3 point shooting. Bird, Reggie and Curry all capable defenders in their own right, but team could be better defensively for sure. Offensively unstoppable.
Or I got





Imagine the shooting and ball movement with Magic and Jokic taking turns running the offence.

Re: Choose your Team with $15 and then vote
I'll go with a guard heavy lineup, defying convention by having no real Small Forward on the team. 
Ray Allen $1 (6'5")
Reggie Miller $1 (6'6")
Jordan $6 (6'6")
Giannis $3 (6'11")
Hakeem $4 (7'0")
I think it'd be interesting to see Reggie and Ray play together. The two of them are gonna run the opposition's perimeter defense into the ground for 48 minutes. Plan is to use their movement and shooting to create space for MJ (as well as Hakeem and Giannis). No point guard as MJ, Reggie, Ray and Giannis will share ball-handling duty among themselves. I think the lack of a defensive SF won't hurt me too much, since MJ, Reggie and Ray are listed at 6'6" and have Hakeem/Giannis backing them up. Giannis is in here more for his defensive ability and athleticism, which will help against any transition offense by the opposition. Hakeem will destroy your Center's confidence in the post/paint. All 5 guys have GOAT-level motors.

C Ewing (2)

SG - MJ (6)
PG Dame Lillard (1)
Pick Dame because I needed a 3 point guy who was a PG. Thought about Kidd, Isiah although they were better but then squad wouldn't be a deep threat for the most part.

That's the exact team I was gonna make

This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

So I even have $3 left. Do I get extra points for that?

Curry/LBJ/KG trio is too insane to pass up on. Manu at $1 is an easy choice. Kawhi is the supercharged 3&D guy here.

Hakeem - 4
Absolute defensive monster of a team, plenty of shot creation, nobody is scoring in the paint and 2-5 are all switchable out to the perimeter. Don't need the whole team to be shooters to dominate here.

I noticed that, I had a hard time deciding where 19 Kawhi would be. But $3, he's probably closer to that tier TBH.

Assumption of playing by 2022 rules, I got
PG - Jason Kidd (will guard 2’s)
SG - Steph Curry
SF - Kawhi
PF - LeBron (offensively will function as PG though)
C - Giannis
This team would be a nightmare with a switching defensive scheme. Offensively, put the ball in anyone’s hand and run pick and rolls all day with Giannis. I put Kidd here instead of Ray Allen / Reggie Miller because Kidd can more effectively guard guys like Jordan, Kobe, Wade. Of course when LeBron/Kawhi need a breather. Curry is the only weak link defensively and he’s not even really a weak link. And Giannis is the only non-shooter.
Shooting + Defense is hard to beat in today’s NBA.
2nd team I came up with I’m feeling too though, may actually go with them:
Curry
Jordan
Pippin
Kawhi
Embiid
All time defense from 2-4 position with Embiid protecting the paint for just $1. Then add Curry. I see this team beating the 1st team I picked, lol.
PG - Jason Kidd (will guard 2’s)
SG - Steph Curry
