Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

If I'm stuck with either core and can't move any of them for complementary pieces, then it's the first trio. If I have that liberty, then it's the first trio by a lot. I'd move Luka for a bevy of 3&D guys. Curry and Jokic is as good of a 2 man core as you can get.

I skew towards defense a bit here. Embiid/Giannis/Durant is scary. They locking down everything. But would have to see who I could get as a lead guard

Can't trust 2nd trio when the going gets tough

The defensive trio has too many questionable personalities to risk taking them over the other trio which is going to stampede the league anyhow. I mean Jokic + 1 borderline top 20 player+role players just won a title. Give him Steph and Luka now instead and what do you expect to happen? So long as Luka is ok with taking a lesser role it would take Wemby becoming an mvp and teaming up with Giannis + another top 15 player to have a chance of beating them.
