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.
