New Franchise: Jordan/LeBron or KD/Curry/Klay

You get 10 years with each core, who are you drafting?
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Don't even think this is close in MJ/Lebron's favor TBH. You'd have to sub Klay out for a much better player (like, a Top-40 guy ever), and even then depending on fit, it might not be enough.

Am i guaranteed to have all for 10 years?

Lebron/jordan to me. I am low on klay relative to most and durant-curry are more injury prone

Fit isn't terrible, but I don't think Lebron and Deandre Jordan would be THAT good

Idk, I don't see Klay being that good playing off of Seth and Duckworth :D

Klay is obv a nice player, All-NBA caliber, but he's not enough to swing taking two top 15-20 players ever over the consensus two greatest players ever. And as someone else mentioned, KD/Curry are much more injury prone.

:lol: :lol: +1 to both of you.

BTW, Duckworth has to be one of the worst All-Stars ever. He was a poor defender playing the position in which defense matters the most, i.e., center, was an inefficient scorer, and was a middling rebounder. Imagine those Blazers with a decent center who could at least play defense.

Lol that poll, MJ+Lebron stans combined can't be defeated. Seriously though, they'd be too terrorizing that Klay wouldn't make for it.

In a different comparision i would worry they would break up. Jordan personality playing alongside arguably the only perimeter player in history to be his overall peer (if it was offense only magic too) may cause some conflict about who was "the alpha",

Or maybe lebron defers too much like he did in 2011 finals to wade

But durant already struggled with insecurity to steph in real life so it evens out

The question would been better if you add Draymond Green in the warriors trio....
