Can You Build a Superteam to Beat the Warriors?
And can you do it on a budget?

The greatest regular-season team of all time just swapped out Harrison Barnes for Kevin Freaking Durant. It’s fair to say the Warriors now have two of the three best players in the NBA, which raises this question: Is it even possible to construct a team that can go toe-to-toe with the Dubs’ Super Death Lineup? Our staff took a crack at it. So that this isn’t complete anarchy, we placed a restriction: You have to pick your five-man rotation on a $15 budget.

To me, switching on D and creating mismatches on offense are the two most important things. I prefer length but you have to have multiple half court scorers and a handful of shooters.
