superteam

Dream roster assembled

A superteam is a sports team assembled with multiple star players, typically through free agency or trades rather than player development.

The term often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting the team was artificially constructed rather than organically built: The Lakers formed a superteam when they signed three All-Stars in one offseason.

In business contexts, superteam describes an elite group brought together for a high-stakes project.
