Lakers Rumors: Lebron James Dream Team to Lakers real?
Lebron James Dream Team is the name given to the players as a team that he wants to play with before their careers end.
He wants to play with his friends on the same team in the NBA.
Critics and people everywhere are nicknaming it Lebron James Dream Team.
If this were to happen it would go down as one of the most impactful teams in NBA history.
His dream team consist of him, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and the current center on the team he wants to play for.
This would possibly push the current starters to be bench players or it make competition and a good team and everyone would be having fun..
All are currently stars and leaders on their current teams.
There would be a debacle in the league if this went through, because former commissioner David Stern did not allow Chris Paul to join Kobe Bryant on the Lakers.
He thought it would diminish competition in the league, but it would have actually made teams better, because they would want to work harder to defeat that team and work to be better than them.
The best current example is the Golden State Warriors right now, in the long term they are increasing competition and improving the league in getting better.
This “Dream Team” on the other hand is what would drown out competition, because it is basically an All-Star team, with a decent bench, and they would have to build from the current team.
Or they could be like the Warriors and help improve the league in increasing competition and making others work harder to be that good.
As for now the current commissioner Adam Silver, who knows if he will allow this or veto this, but after the 2016 NBA Finals we all will find out.
Lebron James is a free agent after this season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He came back to the city of Cleveland last year in 2015 to bring a NBA Finals Championship Trophy home, yet there is nothing to show for and this year has been much more difficult.
Most likely he will stay with Cleveland until he wins the city a NBA Finals Championship.
When that does happen which could be 2 years max, he may end up leaving Cleveland for another city, because of business and he wants to continue to have fun winning Championships and with other players.
This is where they idea of Lebron James Dream Team comes in.
This brings up the question, when will he bring a Championship to Cleveland now or later?
If he can will he stay at home or will he travel once more to do what he has dreamed of doing?
Where would Lebron’s Dream Team be built and realistically if possible, where could they go where that team can afford it?
He would be better off building his dream team in Cleveland to help bring that Championship home, however we all know this is a business and going to LA if he wins a Championship this year or in the future could be a possibility, because of all the endless opportunities there is in that city.
We all know the super stars he wants on the team, what he wants, but we don’t know which coach he wants, and if those players would actually join him on the team, because some would have to take pay cuts and some of them like the money.
The two players who would want the money are Lebron and Carmelo, while Wade and Paul would be okay with the pay cut because they want to win and have fun in their last years.
If not happy this team will not happen so we can only wait and see.
All four players make around an average 22 million dollars.
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of few teams, who have the money to afford to pay out multiple super stars plus their roster on the bench and they would be okay with taking the luxury tax hit and the Lakers know how to win.
Their were stories in the past of the Lakers recruiting, James, Anthony, Paul, and Wade; now that is a dangerous team.
Has the time come for them to join forces?
If Kobe was still there it would be an All-Star team, but it wouldn’t work out because of money unless 3 of them 5 were okay with taking pay cuts.
Time is of the essence though as they are all growing older.
They would definitely need young players on the team to support their performances and help them make the playoffs, etc and well the Lakers have young players.
Lebron James and Chris Paul would for sure join the Lakers, because they both wanted to join when Kobe was there, but Stern was a different person back then and did not allow that to happen.
He is now gone and it can happen and are the possibilities in the NBA endless?
On the other hand Antony and Wade would have a difficult time leaving there current teams, but would want to have fun and also win their first NBA championships or multiple.
They both have wanted to leave, but also stay.
Realistically if they can see a bright future and immediate impact together, then they will leave there current teams, join forces to make the dream team, and if they don’t then they will stay with the team that drafted them and hope for the best in the future.
The Los Angeles Lakers seem to have fit that mold, with which how much money they have to spend.
This organization may deny it, because they want to develop their young players first, grow them together, build from there, and win Championships.
If they bring these players in it could break down chemistry, but if it were to happen it wouldn’t be until Lebron James wins a Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Therefore if that doesn’t happen in the year 2016, it may happen in about 2-3 years and by then the Lakers team will be developed.
Now that would make for a dangerous team similar to an All-Star team maybe similar to an Olympic Team.

All four players have been rumored to have to wanted to play on the Lakers in the past, because they wanted to win with Kobe and the Lakers are all about winning.
Now that Kobe is gone would they still go to Los Angeles with Lebron?
Do they think all those young players will develop into special talent, that they will want play with them before they all retire?
