The 2023-2024 salary cap is $136.021 million. What is the best 8-man rotation you can put together that comes under that figure for this season?

Assumptions:

This is a single season evaluation just for the 2023-2024 season (use this season's salary for a player and ignore future contract value)
Player performance is based on this season's performance (you're getting 38 year old Lebron, not Heatles Lebron)
Just choose 8 players (act as if you will fill in the rest of the 15-man roster with players that will not play meaningful minutes)
Fit matters (balancing positions, play styles, strengths / weaknesses etc is a factor)
Postseason matters (act as if success is a ship, so playoff experience is a plus)

For consistency, use this source for player 2023-2024 salaries: https://www.espn.com/nba/salaries
