I'd go:

Conley (2)
Danny Green (1)
Lebron (7)
Giannis (3)
Kristaps (2)

Who you got?

Lilliard
Middleton
George
Aminu
Giannes (playing Point Center)

Dang this is hard, even with the full NBA at your disposal!

Without thinking too hard lebron, Paul George, Tristan Thompson, Mike Conley, jj Reddick.

Lillard
Kawhi (at SG)
Melo at SF
Lebron at PF
Kristaps at C

Giannis as 6th man

Tristan Thompson, Mike Conley, jj Reddick?

That starting five costs $22 - you have a $15 cap.

Wall
Winslow
Ariza
Lebron
KP6

Jordan 3
Towns 4
Leonard 5
Bradley 1
Conley 2

Jordan will own the interior D.
Dray will be way outmatched with Kat.
I'm betting Leonard can shut down Durant.
Bradley switches onto Curry on D and
Conley draws THOMPSON

Lowry
Middleton
Giannis
Kawai
Kristaps

The Cavs should still be able to beat the Warriors. The Warriors didn't address their inability to stop Lebron or Kyrie. They didn't address their lack of post presence so they're still all perimeter. I think the Knicks roster is better suited to give a team like the Warriors a tough time. The Knicks can play with size even against a small ball lineup. It just might be a tougher matchup for them with the improved guard play the Knicks have. Everyone thinks that GS is gonna be unstoppable but I think they've changed the team chemistry but didn't really address how the Cavs beat them. It's going to be interesting to see how this season plays out.

Adams 1
Bradley 1
KP 2
Lillard 4
LBJ 7

Rose
Lee
Anthony
Porzingis
Noah

If Rose and Noah are 100% healthy and KP continues to improve, this 5 will be able to run with the best of them.

Westbrook 5
Giannis 3
Derrick Rose 1
Kristaps 2
Whiteside 4

Kawhi 5
Giannis 3
Derrick Rose 1
Kristaps 2
Towns 4

Westbrook 5
Kawhi 5
Giannis 3
Avery Bradley 1
Joakim Noah 1

Giannis 3
Kawhi 5
Derrick Rose 1
Paul George 4
Gobert 2

Kinda fun.... I can do this all night
