NBA Trade Rumors: Lebron James Wants to Team Up with High School Friend Carmelo Anthony

Lebron James will be a free agent after the 2015-2016 season and he wants to team up with another superstar Carmelo Anthony. They are friends since high school and if two of them get together, whichever team they play for, that team will immediately become a championship contender. Lebron and Carmelo combo can be even more lethal than Lebron and Dywane combination.

James has a player option for 2016-17, which will be declined, that enables him to join the free agent market on July 1. James is expected to re-sign with the Cavs.

In fact Lebron wants to form a dream team of his own with Anthony, LA Clippers point guard Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade.

"I really hope that, before our career is over, we can all play together," James told Bleacher Report's Howard Beck. "At least one, maybe one or two seasons — me, Melo, D-Wade, CP. .. I would actually take a pay cut to do that."

If his dream actually becomes true, it will be the best opportunity for Carmelo and Chris Paul to snatch a championship. Both of them had an incredible career but still without the Championship ring. Lebron has two and D-wade has three rings at this time.

Same as LeBron, Wade will become a free agent this summer, Paul the year after that, then Anthony following the 2017-18 season.

Lately, Lebron has apologized for talking to Dwyane during the half time during last Saturday's game.

"I just told him we can't have that, being down like we were and him being the leader," Lue said. "Just me being a competitor, I didn't like it. We had a long talk about it. It was good. He understood, he apologized, and he's been great."

James, Anthony and Wade came into the league together in 2003, with James draft no.1 , Anthony 3rd and Wade 5th in the draft. Paul was selected fourth in the 2005 draft.

The four of them teamed up together on the 2008 Olympic team to win a gold medal in Beijing.
