Which duo would you rather build a new team around in today's league?

The two best players to play in this era.

I'd go Curry/LeBron, I think the strongest arguments against them are focused on Curry durability.

Realistic roster (no rookie scale or guys universally agreed to be significantly underpaid - eg Sabonis/Lauri)

Curry(48)
Kennard(14)/DD(5)
O'Neale(9)
LeBron(44)
Looney(7)/Kleber(9)

136M for the top 7, should be able to sneak under the luxury tax filling out the roster with vet min and rookie scale guys - get a couple vet min guys who can contribute (Lee/JTA sorts, make sure one of them is big for when Kleber isn't well suited for the backup C role) and we've got ourselves a champ with Curry/LeBron.

Nice nod. Building around this duo is probably almost as fun as watching them share the court.
