Assuming they're running a 2024 offense they would of course be the best team by a clear margin.

Yes I somewhat cheated finding the best season someone had without making all-nba. KG was 3rd in WS/48 that year but got snubbed b/c Minnesota was bad.

I'm not quite as sure as some that they are walking to a title as they have some adjusting to do but they should be the most talented team in the NBA so title favorites.

Maybe use players who were never All-NBA and a bench who played more minutes off bench than as starters over their careers. Challenge yourself!
