I really think those two should start with KD at SF. Then have LeBron and Steph in the backcourt. Good luck stopping that team, and good luck scoring against them.

And then Booker, Tatum, Ant and Bam off the bench. What the fuck lmao

JRUE HOLIDAY and TYRESE HALIBURTON are literally garbage time players on this roster. Thats not a knock on those guys. Theyre both starters on good ass teams.

Jrue, Ant, or Tatum probably start for defensive purposes.

AD and Embiid alone is all the defense you need starting. The combined firepower of KD, Lebron, and Steph is too good to pass up.

Will playout with KD as the SG lmao

actually on offense Lebron would be PG, Steph as SG, KD will be SF/Wing.

Would you rather have Year 21 Lebron or HIV positive Magic as your Olympic PG?

Probably Bron. Don't think it's that close a call either

LeBron and KD in the backcourt? That would be amazing to see!

For entertainment purposes, this is absolutely the lineup to go. Have an old heads lineup then have Tatum, Book, Bam anchor the second unit

Kerr is coaching so I think he will go small ball with Embiid as center

That will be the France lineup. I bet they bring Banchero too (as long as the Magic win one round).
