Brunson and Markkanen were on my consideration list, great contract values

What's the best 2023-2024 8-man rotation you can put together under the salary cap? (alien.top)
 

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:

  1. 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)
  2. Player performance is based on this season's performance (you're getting 38 year old Lebron, not Heatles Lebron)
  3. 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)
  4. Fit matters (balancing positions, play styles, strengths / weaknesses etc is a factor)
  5. Postseason matters (act as if success is a ship, so playoff experience is a plus)

What teams will be perennial championship contenders starting in 2-3 years? (alien.top)
 

Many teams are currently in their window (Bucks, Celtics, Suns, Sixers, Nuggets, etc). Who are the teams that are still 2-3 years away, but will be championship juggernauts for years to come?
