OffenseKD and KP shoot at will from the perimeter. Tucker and Brand aren't tall/long enough to contest their shots. Butler slashes to the basket. He excels at absorbing contact as evidenced by his FTr of 62.5% in his selected season. With so much space in the paint, he should be unstoppable. Kidd spams the PnP. He keeps everyone involved, hence he keeps everyone happy. At that point in his career, he had become a reliable volume 3pt shooter averaging a 3PAr of 61.7%. JJ and Ibaka provide even more shooting ability off the bench.
DefensePorzingis drops, but stays close enough ro Brand/DRob to deny the mid-range 2. Ibaka switches. KCP, Kidd and Caruso are my POA defenders. They go over the pick against CP3 and dare him to either shoot the long 2 off the dribble (with the POA defender trying to contest the shot from behind) or attack the basket against Porzingis/Ibaka. Wing D should be strong with six switchable defenders on the roster including my Point Guards who are both oversized at their position. For instance, Kidd did a great job on LeBron in the 2011 Finals. I'd expect him to hold his own if switched on Kobe.
