PAOerfulone said: I was thinking about this earlier today, but LeBron's 3 closest friends, Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade, and Carmelo Anthony are all free agents this year. LeBron has said in the past that he'd be willing to take a pay cut to play with them. http://www.sbnation.com/2016/3/23/11292438/lebron-james-joins-carmelo-anthony-dwyane-wade-chris-paul-cavaliers This may be a pipe dream, but just think of this scenario. LeBron convinces Melo, CP3, and DWade to come to Cleveland, all of them taking paycuts to do so. They sign CP3 and DWade as free agents. They do a sign and trade for Melo and Kevin Love and JR Smith. Then they can move Kyrie Irving to the Shooting Guard position and the Cavs starting 5 could look like this: PG: Chris Paul SG: Kyrie Irving SF: Carmelo Anthony PF: LeBron James C: Tristan Thompson And they have Dwayne Wade as their 6th man. |
That would be a substantial pay cut for everyone. So you can be sure to count D Wade out because he's in Chicago for the $$$
Melo is possible, you just trade Love for him straight up. Unless Phil wants extras.
