LeBron is the best player here, Jokic is at worst the 3rd or 4th depending on high you are on Giannis. Easy pick.

Lebron isn’t even the best player in his group, give me Curry/Embiid great offense and defense big/guard combo.

Curry and Embiid is the best fit but Embiid but are we considering injury concerns?

[Peregrine01]

Offensively, it's Jokic/Lebron. Defensively, it's Giannis/Butler.

An optional way to sort this out...

Assume both players in each duo are paid $41M (Lebron's salary last season), so $82M total.
Assume a Salary Cap of $112M (last season's cap).
NO going over the cap.
You have $30m left to fill out the rest of your roster, i.e., 13 spots.
Use last season's salaries for each of the 13 players too.
Any of the 13 players you pick could also be used with the other duos, as in cloned.

Now who do you go with, or who do you think will win? Mine...

Luka/KD
Curry/Embiid
Giannis/Butler
Jokic/Lebron

[Onus]

Give me Curry + Embiid. Embiid forces you to play a big. Curry is going to kill that big

LeBron/Jokic quite easily for me

My heart says Gianni/Butler for defensive tenacity, physicality and competitiveness but my head says Curry/Embiid for versatility and fit.

LeBron and Jokic would feature some of the most creative and fun passing ever, though.
