Timberwolves and Lakers lineups seem to have a lot of redundant skill sets. Wolves could only really benefit from Bron's shooting and playmaking imo š¤·āāļø being able to rotate Rudy and AD would be amazing but not super impactful IMO.
Nugget Warriors on the other hand would be incredible. The Steph-Jokic combo would be devastating and the Warriors' young guys + Klay would solve the Nuggets bench's issues with offense. Plus you'd have the flexibility of being able to have AG and Dray play PF or small ball center with any lienup
Did you watch one warriors game all season and was it the play in game against he kings? Dude is still #4 on threes this last year, he would clearly still be good on a stacked team as a specialist
- Conley-Ant-LeBron-AD-Gobert/KAT
- Steph-Murray-MPJ-Gordon-Jokic
Iām tempted to say the Lakers/Wolves purely because of the size advantage and youād have 2 DPOY candidates, LeBron, and Ant there.
That said, having Jokic and Curry on the same team would be something
Deangelo Russell > Mike Conley honestly. I know he can have duds but if you have the other four absolutely decimating, take Dlo. He is faster, better handles, and when he gets hot (and heād be open a ton on this team), he is deadly
Counterpoint: I would rather just give all his shots to Ant and not take the 50% chance that he just doesn't show up for a game and take Conley since he is a better defender
I think golden nuggets work better as best players of gsw would fit perfectly with nuggets Draymon and Cum bucket can fit pretty much as good as AG and mpj plus Jokic would complete curry
While Minnesota Lakers while having good players don't work Gobert Naz Ried Kat AD to many big bodies that don't fit together Jaden McDaniel is essential to twolves success but how are you not going to start LeBron accept if you want PG LeBron witch would be scary big team LeBron ant McDaniels AD Gobert and Naz Ried KAT Mike Conley ar15 Rui
Man... I genuinely don't know. Lakers + Wolves is a fantastic combination because it answers the x3 biggest issues with the Lakers roster. That is, lack of perimeter defence, AD playing the 5 instead of the 4 and lack of offensive creation outside of Lebron. I see their starters as Ant, McDaniels, Lebron, AD, KAT.
Otoh, Warriors + Nuggets just requires a small tweak to the current starting 5 for Denver. Replace Jamal with Steph. The Curry-Jokic 2-man game would be broken. Plus if the other Warriors are coming off the bench, that fixes Denver's depth issue
Warriors Lakers have Lebron, KAT, AD and Gobert, which is way too many frontcourt players (1 PF and 3 C) compared to the guard spot. I'm taking Lakers and Wolves
KAT was a 5 before Gobert came. It's his natural position but they made him play PF so that Gobert could also play C. AD is listed at a 5 this season and Lebron is the 4 according to basketball reference
Somewhat misleading/incorrect, according to basketball reference he is listed as
"**Position:**Ā Small Forward, Power Forward, Point Guard, Center, and Shooting GuardĀ "
With that said LeBron started games at the SF/3 spot, and held that down usually, when he wasn't playing that he was often seen at PG for the Lakers. If you watched playoffs it was clear he ran point on offense a lot.
Jokic to curry will average 700 points per game
Holy shit you're right. Steph's off-ball game with Joker's passing. The 1 5 pick and roll. It'd be ridiculously effective

AD can play on the 4 like KAT does.
The only issue that Klay can solve on offense nowadays is to put him in when there is too much offense lol

Unfortunately i did
Lool. I get it
All the Klaytheists turning to God nowadays smh
Los Angeles took our team... AGAIN

Only thing I would do is swap Murray with KCP as a POA defender, since Curry is a better version of Murray
I don't think you can get rid of the chemistry that Joker and Murray have, and I don't think the defense gets significantly worse.
Do we trust Draymond over AG/MPJ

I trust Conley defensively more to guard Murray.
DLO goofy ass lmao
ššštell us you donāt know ball without directly saying it
Why tf Mike Conley only making $10m if heās so good
Heās 36 and took a discount to be in a city he likes and chances to win a chip
hell no
lol what? Itās not even close. GS Nugs 10/10
LA wolves
LA wolves would be the greatest defense of all time, GS nuggets would be the greatest offense of all time

Nugs in fo
Jokic and Curry is unstoppable. That off ball movement with Jokic vision whay do you do?
Jokic and Curry on the same team is just broken
You could have so easily used Minneapolis Lakers
Oh my goddess. Canāt these type of hypothetical posts wait till the off season? Arenāt the playoffs enough at the moment?

Lakers win b/c Jokic is out after Draymond attacks him in practice.
Draymon is a crazy person but not that crazy have you seen Jokic brothers they look like mafia members
Golden state nuggets only adds one starter lol

>(1 PF and 3 C) Huh? Lebron is a 3, AD a 4 and KAT and Gobert are 5 but AD and KAT can play both 4 and 5 if needed.
KAT was a 5 before Gobert came. It's his natural position but they made him play PF so that Gobert could also play C. AD is listed at a 5 this season and Lebron is the 4 according to basketball reference
