PJ Tucker's a fun one. Lacking top25 all-time talent let alone any GOAT level peaks, but a wild amount of modern stars

Guards:
Harden, CP3, Lowry, Dragic, Maxey, Holiday

Wings:
Butler, Kawhi, Middleton, PG13, DeRozan

Bigs:
Giannis, Embiid, Adebayo, B.Lopez, Capela

Just need him to end up on the Lakers so we can add LeBron and AD to the squad

This obviously isn't competitive, I just wanted to do a team with some perimeter defense with Giannis.

Lillard/DiVincenzo
Jrue/Brogdon
Middleton/Tucker
Giannis/Ersan
Lopez/Giannis

Robert Parish has a pretty solid collection

Parish / Alonzo Mourning
Kevin Mchale / Dennis Rodman
Bird / Pippen / Barry
Jordan / Danny Ainge
Jojo White / Dennis Johnson

Brian Scalabrine is surprisingly respectable

Joachim Noah / Kendrick Perkins
Kevin Garnett / Kenyon Martin / Brian Scalabrine
Paul Pierce / Richard Jefferson
Vince Carter / Ray Allen
Jason Kidd / Derrick Rose

I don't think this team beats LeBron's.
