I get superstar calls
Can you build a better team around MJ than JJ Redick?
For those who don't want to watch the video, he is building a modern team around MJ and assuming MJ is being paid 51mil, with a team cap of 195mil. He also seemed to avoid the obvious rookie contract phenoms like Sengun for 3.5mil and Haliburton for 5.8mil, as that dilutes the quality and fun of these types of exercises.
His team is:
Derrick White
Jordan
Jalen Williams
Mikael Bridges
Joker
Isaiah Hartenstein, Royce O'neal and Alex Caruso off the bench.

white
jordan
OG
Aaron Gordon
Jokic

I dont know if the Jokic pick makes sense given MJ's ball dominance. It kinda puts Joker's playmaking to waste, not to mention MJ cant really space the floor on Joker post ups.
I think you wanna go with players up front that give you defense, plus some floor spacing. Something like KP and Draymond.
Of course MJ needs his Pippen but we're running low on cap space so I'm gonna give him a Dollar Store Pippen in Denver's Christian Braun, who is an athletic finisher and strong defender on the wing.
Value point guard: Bones Hyland.

Also a more expensive one. Im pretty sure whatever the imaginary salary cap is for this exercise is youd be over it.

Ehh. You stans have always said how Pip was the play maker so I don't get the ball dominance thing.
A Jordan and joker two man game would be near unstoppable. The high pick and roll would be awesome. Jordans cuts with joker passing..that's rings

Yep. MJ would probably take on a bigger role defensively but Jokic is better than everything else than Pippen is. Could space the floor more to give MJ room to work

Caruso
MJ
Jimmy Butler
Mikal Bridges
Bam
About 35M left over for the bench; I'd take Grayson Allen, Larry Nance Jr & Austin Reaves.
