Goombah,
How many more years do you see Bron playing? How many more years as a top tier player?and do you see him bolting again or retiring as a Cav?
Irish,
I caught some Olympic games over the years, and I do remember Melo dominating . If he's the leading scorer on Team usa, he was getting a lot of touches in addition to the spot up 3s.It will hard to transition into being a 3 point specialist.
He's talented and a mismatch for any defender but I'll have to see him buy into team basketball to believe it.
I see LeBron trying to play until his oldest enters the NBA. So about 4-5 more years, unless LBJ experiences a sharp decline.
I could see LeBron leaving after next year. Not highly likely, but definitely a possibility. He might look at the Cavs as he did the Heat in 2014 - old and with limited financial options. The one thing the Cavs have in their favor is Kryie & Thompspon are both still young. Off the court, LeBron's oldest is starting high school within the next 2 years, so that might sway him to stay in Cleveland.
I hadn't considered Melo as a backup option. That's intriguing.
Irish - I don't see Wade coming to Cleveland. He wasn't willing to play for less last year and signed with Chicago. I think Wade is content with 3 rings and now wants to play where he grew up.
