as a Spurs fan I'd say Warriors trio but only because Draymond > Manu (not a hot take considering minutes).
I would also underline how warriors always enjoyed great depth, whereas Spurs weren't really blessed pre-2012.

I have Duncan over Curry for consistency and playoff impact.
Manu v. Draymond is close and could go either way.
Klay over Parker for shooting and defense though Parker adds some degree of playmaking that Klay doesn't.

Overall, Spurs trio over Warriors trio for consistency over time and playoff performances. Warriors trio for peak.

It’s hard to say because the Spurs’ trio were never at their peak at the same time, while the Warriors’ guys arguably all hit their peak in 2016. Imagine if the Spurs had 03 Duncan, 08 Manu and early 2010s Parker all at the same time, that team is probably pushing high 60s in wins too.

I’ll ultimately go Warriors because I think their trio compliment each other a little better.
