    That's the only good Nic trade proposal I've heard.
    Pull the trigger!

    We'd have to throw in Meyers for it to be fair.

    We have talked about this before and it will NEVER happen BUT that is a ridiculous "Big 3" All 3 in their prime and one of the best at their position

    Not surprising but one of the third year equivalents that Lillard's stats look like? Dwayne Wade.

    What if CLE included a 2nd round pick as well?

    I think this guy would be a pretty decent 4th option in our offense.

    Imagine LMA carrying the 1st quarter scoring, LBJ carrying the 2nd & 3rd quarters, and Lillard closing out the game (if it's even still a game by the 4th quarter!).

    I had forgotten about Haynes, and how poor his writing is.

    A lineup of Lillard, Wes, James, Aldridge and Rolo would be sick. Just sick. So dominating, I might not be able to enjoy it. But I could try.

    I believe you left Mr. Matthews out of your little scenario.

    Well, I was just talking about primary scoring - surely LMA won't take ALL the 1st quarter shots, nor LBJ ALL the 2nd/3rd quarter shots. Wes will take three 3-pointers per quarter and average 21ppg, of course!

    Another thought that comes to mind is that all the people that want Batum to develop a post game .... LeBron has one. Imagine having 3 legit low post threats? And another decent one in Rolo/Kaman. Geez, fun to play what if. And with the LeBron we would be as good if not a better defensive team. Although Batum be a more versatile defender than LBJ.

    We'll just have to average 130 PPG to get everyone the shots they need! :ghoti:

    Personally I want no part of Lebron, the decision, part III. Fact is, we are better than the Cavs with Lebron as we stand.

    If all it costs is Dorrell Wright, I'd consider it...

    They messed up bad dealing all their assets for love, and Deng prior. They didn't have to start the championship timer, could have simmered it to a boil, but no. They microwaved a marshmallow.
