Build a title contender - not as easy as it seems
Here are the rules:
- you can chose any player at his 2021 salary
- no players on rookie scale
- no players making more than 24.99m
- fill up a 12 man roster
- total payroll below the LT threshold
I have a few ideas, but I don't think the team I have in mind is good enough

Better yet why no max players? You can't build a championship team without a max player or a rookie deal player who will sign a max eventually.

Well, Barkley was a superstar in the 90s and lot of people considered Green better than him for some years...so problem solved.
When this account gets more "And1"s than posts written ...then my life will be complete. And maybe it will be the right time to hang it up. (Achieved on 2017-2018 season)...but still here.

I don't know man. Looks like you just need to sign Lebron. Just one thing and everything else falls in place

Re: Build a title contender - not as easy as it seems
I don't think its possible with those restrictions. Basically you're just getting great depth at the expense of top-end talent. The problem is top-end talent is almost always what wins titles. When only 5 guys can be on the court together, no amount of sub-$25m players are gonna replace the value of having LeBron and AD as 2 of them. Same goes for the other top teams with multiple superstars. i.e. 4 quarters will never equal a dollar when it comes to the NBA playoffs
Just looking at the lineups people have posted - those teams are getting steamrolled by the current elite teams. Best they could do is hope for some injury luck.

That team would struggle to make the playoffs.

You need a top 10 player. Most times you need atleast a couple of them.
Top 10 players are paid more than than 24M

There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

I don't think a contender is possible with these restrictions unless they become a lockdown defensive team somehow.
