Hekate's Case:

The first thing I wanted to establish on my team was positionless basketball on the offensive end. Apart from Magic Johnson, who will cause match-up problems whichever position he plays, Drexler, Pierce and Manu are all accomplished ball-handlers and passers. Their ability to create for others as well as for themselves will confuse lots of defenses. Add to that KG who is another great passer and there will be lots of fun basketball happening.

I will have 3 big-man rotation most of the time with Garnett-Howard-Bosh but I can put King at 4 whenever I need to go small, I can even put Magic at 5 if teams want to go ultra-small against me.

I have two defensive anchors on the low post who are also great PnR defenders. And Let's not forget Chris Bosh is a capable PnR defender as well. I have a guy like Sidney Moncrief, who won Defensive Player of the Year award 2 times to slow down anyone.

Howard

3× NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2009–2011)
4× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2009–2012)
NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2008)

Garnett

NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2008)
9× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2000–2005, 2008, 2009, 2011)
3× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2006, 2007, 2012)

My starting line-up stays the same but I will play

Drexler
Moncrief
Pierce
Magic
Garnett

to create slow down Michael Jordan with Moncrief since Jordan had to say "When you play against Moncrief, you're in for a night of all-around basketball. He'll hound you everywhere you go, both ends of the court. You just expect it." And to create mismatch from 4 position and play faster and by adding another ballhandler, Squid, I can work around Tfivas' very well-built defensive backcourt.
