Pippen sticks out like a sore thumb too much in this group for me.

And I like the Harden/KG fit better.

Steph is a bit tougher to build around. If making an all-time team with Lebron or Jokic on it for example it's cake, he is always a shoe-in 100% for portability but if you're managing a real team it wouldn't be quite as easy. But both teams are pretty close here.

Curry/Pippen is a lowkey very good duo on longevity and portability.

But once Harden and KG entered their mid to late 20s there'd be some years where they'd just overwhelm the league in a way I don't think Pippen and Curry would do.

But yet still, Curry and Pippen would is possibly a stronger foundation assuming you can load the team up with other really talented payers. With a regular cast, Harden/KG might be better for your title odds.
