LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul to Join Dwyane Wade in Miami?

Miami Heat are one of the most successful franchises in the NBA and the biggest reason for that is their president, Pat Riley. Ever since Riley joined the team in 1995, the Heat have been one of the best teams in the league and their record and championships throughout all those years prove it. One of the biggest things Riley has achieved with the Heat was bringing top free agents to South Beach in 2010: Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Could he do the same thing once again?

Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have already played in Miami and in their four years together, the duo won two championships and went to the finals all four years. Could we see them team up once again, and bring their friends over as well, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony? 

Wade will most likely stay in Miami and retire there and James is no stranger to the city as well. On the other side, Anthony and Paul have never played for the Heat and they have also never won a championship. The whole idea of this super team started when LeBron said how he hopes to play with the other three players before he retires. The Cavaliers superstar said the following, per ESPN

I really hope that, before our career is over, we can all play together. ... At least one, maybe one or two seasons -- me, Melo, D-Wade, CP -- we can get a year in. I would actually take a pay cut to do that.

James already took a paycut once, when he decided to join forces with Wade in Miami. He'd be willing to do it again if it means playing with his best friends. Although all of these players are in their 30s, there is no doubt that they would form one of the strongest teams in the NBA if they teamed up. Also, this would be a great opportunity for Paul and Anthony to win their first championship ring, while LeBron and Wade would win their third and fourth rings respectively.

While Wade refused to comment much about this idea, Carmelo Anthony said that he would also take a pay cut to make it happen. He also added that he would like to go somewhere warm and there is no doubt he was referring to Miami. Wade, James and Anthony were both drafted the same year, 2003, and are in their 13th season. James was the top pick of the draft, Anthony was picked third and Wade fifth. Chris Paul was drafted two years later with the fourth overall pick.

It would be hard to form this super team, but not impossible, especially not with Pat Riley handling the situation. Riley showed that he's capable of making big teams, and forming another super team in Miami is not an impossible task for him. Of course, every player would have to take a pay cut and the team would need to find a good supporting cast, but there definitely is a possibility that we will see these four friends share the court before they retire.
