Bobby Jones would've been perfect as the upgraded AG beside Jokic, Price's shooting makes him a great Lebron PG. Who else?

Re: Players from same franchise who would've been a great fit together
Get the feeling Miller and Haliburton would have been a lethal backcourt given Miller's offball movement and Hali's height, vision and shooting touch. Staying in the backcourt, a Billups and Dumars combo would have been defensively nasty and offensively hard to cover.
Lebron is a bit of a cheat given the teams he played with, but him and Kareem would have been a fascinating combo, like a rich man's version of the '71 Bucks.

Russell and Garnett come to mind. Erving and Durant on the Nets. Pre-injury David Robinson and Duncan (fwiw). Jerry West and Magic.

ANT and KG
Very similar mind-set and intensity. KG gets the perimeter star he always lacked.

If by great fit, the OP means synergy, some of these hurt spacing and would make both players less impactful. For example, Allen Iverson and Julius Erving. Erving is better than Carmelo but it would be Iverson in Denver all over again with two guy that need to slash to the basket, neither of whom is much of a floor spacer, just taking turns in iso ball.

Re: Players from same franchise who would've been a great fit together
Any of those with Karl Malone and John Stockton:
Gobert,
Okur,
Mitchell
Markkanen
Hayward
A team of Gobert, Malone, Hayward, Mitchell, Stockton in their primes would be fantastic.
Even you can sub Stockton with Deron and would be sick.
