For 1 year - Luka/Jokic or Steph/LeBron

It's inspired by a ClutchPoints post.

Which pair would you rather have today for 1 year? For 3 years?

Luka and Jokic don’t make that much sense as a duo whereas steph and bron would complement pretty well

If I'm asssuming Bron and Steph can maintain 2021-22 form for another year, they seem like a much more natural fit.

LeBron be getting hurt. Steph, too. I'd take Luka/Jokic for one year ('22-'23) or three.

LeBron with the same defense he played last season, paired with Steph? You think Jokic / Doncic will miss many shots in the layup line? :lol:

Steph playing off ball is the difference here.

A 2016 version of Steph/LeBron beats any version of Luka/Jokic but if this was tomorrow I'd take Luka/Jokic in a heartbeat.
