PF - Pero Antic (1)

SG - Jimmy Butler (1)
PG - Shaun Livingston (1)

May not be the most stacked starting lineup, but this i think would be the most successful (on both ends) due to complementarity with the best player, all those guys have to do is defend/rebound, Lebron will take care of them offensively.

The most successful starting lineup is really the one with the best player on the planet, you just have to find the best complementary players... and voila...

[GimmeThat]

just run the D-League with that budget.

you get so much cash left that you get to invest in having vendors etc to return a profit.

look, you get to have 2 teams, and probably realistically 6 teams that you get to run with.

I don't know what courtside tickets would go for.

but hopefully it's more than a movie ticket.
