Rosters even - just strictly the combined production/skill/talent of these two

1. Lebron James & Karl Anthony Towns
2. Giannis & Bradley Beal
3. Stephen Curry & Donavan Mitchell
4. Luka Doncic & Paul George
5. Kawhi Leonard & Ben Simmons
6. Kevin Durant & Chris Paul
7. James Harden & Joel Embiid
8. Anthony Davis & Devin Booker
9. Nikola Jokic & Jason Tatum
10. Damien Lillard & Jimmy Butler

Lebron will get to the finals, KAT has never played in a good team, so I dont know his impact, but man he put the numbers.

KD and CP3 is an insane pairing, dont think any of the other combos are at the same level, if they play in different conferences they make the finals

KD and CP3.

One of these days Paul is going to slow down. But, for the time being, that's a heck of a #2 to give KD, and at a very important position.

Of course, Lebron + somebody is going to be right there.

I went Dame and Butler, but KD/CP3 and Harden/Embiid were close for me.
Dame just an insane scorer who has proven he can bring it against anyone and then Butler is gonna make the sure the rest of the team is defending like crazy and brings full effort every night. Just a recipe for an insane team.

If health was not a factor and KD is 90% of his former self I’d have to go CP3/KD

At the beginning of the season, there isn't really a safer bet to get you to the Finals than LeBron. So I picked them.
Now if it weren't for their health issues. I'd consider KD + CP3.

You can pair LeBron and a newborn baby and they'll have the best odds

Terry Rozier-Nicolas Batum

Man, Lebron is the best player but KAT is just such a step back compared to other elite players. So I picked KD and CP3 because that pair has the 2 most important role, scorer and play maker, covered. This is assuming they are 100% healthy cause health is a big concern for this pair.

Jokic + Tatum is the best duo in terms of talent and fit imo.
Both are like top-10 MVP candidates. Tatum gives you elite wing iso scoring and defense, and Jokic gives you elite team offense (and I really don't think his defense is all that bad despite reputation).
I know the question was about this season specifically but if I don't win 3 out of the next 7 championships with those two I screwed up bad somehow.
