I mean both players are playing a lot, and playing well in their current run, but it still seems to me like they overpaid when they didn't really have to.
The time is now for that team more than any team in the league.

Like you said, they had 2 firsts still. How is that even possible?

I think when you're the best team in the league, there is no better time to waste future assets to get the player you want.

Getting 2 specific guys who really do two specific things in order to push 2 other lesser guys down the lineup is a reasonable cost to pay. Coleman is giving them 13-18 solid minutes every night and being able to promote him up the lineup will be invaluable compared with a replacement like Stephens or Maroon.
