No, nobody would say Klay and Curry are redundant. They play different positions and have different games. Plus you can play a ton of great wings together. That is the modern NBA. Name me one team, in the past 30 years, that won with two great post players averaging a combined 50+ppg..

They can both play the 1 and 2

Both shoot the 3 ball, can pass and dribble etc?

You're the one calling AD and Boogie redundant. I haven't seen anyone saying that about the 2 or saying it can't work? Obviously they won't average 50 ppg but they can post around 45 ppg and shoot high percentages. They can open up shots for others on the court because there aren't a lot of teams that can guard both those guys 1 on 1 in the post.

I hate the Asik contract, but Demps has a very nice core in Davis, Cousins, and Holiday.

The NBA is about stars and those three guys put the Pels in the top third of the league from the start. Most teams either don't have stars and flexibility or they have stars and don't have flexibility. Thebgoal right now is to just find role players.

Everyone in this thread just acts like it is super easy when in reality everyone is so far behind the Warriors it isn't funny. The Warriors are just lucky Curry was hurt during his contract year, the cap expanded, and Durant is willing to drastically undermine the integrity of the league salary structure.

The current Pels core would seem a lot more like contenders if the conferences were balanced and the Warriors didn't have all that luck extending their run. Davis and Cousins are the two best big men in the league (excluding Lebron James from consideration). Holiday is one of the best all around combo guards in the league.
