I believe you’re done chief. I’ve got 141b remember? Looks like HDS has 141a

sure, but I still have 6m and 5 slots (and as much as 50 mpg) to fill

Starting Lineup: 14,776 minutes, 107.5% usage.

the good: 57 efg% (weighted by usage - 61.9 ts%), 71 ast%, 77.5 average defense (100-55-90-72-70), 148.8 crb%.
the not so good: 202 3pm, 14.5 tov%, 1244 fouls.

Obviously don't have full team numbers because draft isn't finished.

If starting 5's "eye test" had a ranking, I'd put my five against any team in the league!

C Hakeem (Noah)
PF Noah (Hakeem)
SF Kirilenko (George)
SG George (Kirilenko)
PG Lebron

ALL FIVE 90 or more D, and I think Lebron, George and Hakeem should give me enough offense at a good eFG. The only question between domination and a top 4 bye or a .500 team is "Will I get enough talent in my remaining $9.78 mill of cap space to fill out a 12 player team???
Defense looks great. My big-picture concern on offense, for a Lebron build, is too much usage, not enough efficiency.
That was my take. Could be explosive on offense and smothering on defense, but with that level of combined usage I can't help but wonder if George and especially Hakeem will be taking shots that you'd rather James take.
So what? Hakeem shoots 55% and George is a 3 monster with a 54% eFG. Bron at the point could lead the league in assists. Bench mins will be thin though, as well as scoring.

Which Hakeem season shoots 55%?

And I assume you're using 18-19 George which has an efg% just under 53. The only George season with 54% efg is his 19-20 season, which only has 1600 minutes. If you unlock 18-19 George, I'll need you to teach me your ways, as that season has let me down multiple times. Just never seems to perform as well as it should on paper.

if Lebron = 60% efg
then anyone taking shots away from him at 5 or 6% less is a downgrade


(and I'm not sure I would want to rely on Hakeem's (or anyone's) TS% (only place I see 55% for Hakeem) because no way is he going to get to the line as much as in real life and anyway Lebron's TS in the right season is almost 10 points higher so refer back to above)
