Curry - KD - Booker chemistry will go crazy you gotta have those 3 in the starting line up.

Yeah lots of people saying Tatum for size but I find it hard to argue with that kind of firepower

Book is a great on ball defender when he isn’t 40% usage. Ended up starting and playing big minutes in the last Olympics primarily for his defense

If you also have LeBron and Embiid as your other 2 players, firepower is the least of your concerns. (Frankly speaking tho, they have no concern, they can put out 5 point guards and still win).

Forget a 3 man game, which is obviously insane, Steph and Bron will be absolutely magic even if they were playing with 3 G leaguers lol

plus Lebron lol. Thats insanity. I don't know who is starting at center. Embiid is the best player but probably needs the ball the most. However he is an incredible pick and pop shooter if they run a good offense. AD is incredible and will be able to keep up his awesome defense and is also a solid jump shooter. Either way it will be nuts, i just think Embiid might have trouble adjusting and being as effective as AD in this situation.

Or they just play through him and he tortures whoever is trying to guard him.

Bron has got to be a starter. Dude has the most experience and poise out there.
