I guess you can't say it's a pipe dream. I mean...CP3 just changed his agent to LeBron's.

You read ESPN too huh?

Not out of the question for sure, but they don't realize that there is only one ball to pass around.  They will be damn good for sure, but you can't have three #1's and a #2

It worked for Team USA. But...for how long can it work all together?

They wouldn't have enough money to sign another big name player.  After the first three, they only have enough money to sign league minimum players (older players, 2nd round draft picks, or players who weren't even drafted).  Unless Chris Paul is trying to play for peanuts, that won't ever happen.

Not peanuts...but if all 3 play in Miami...they aren't getting what they could if they were to sign with 3 other teams.

Sorry should say mid-level exception players which I believe is up to $5 million per which is way below CP3 salary.

Sparky...it barely worked for Team USA, and that wasn't against NBA talent.  You put the NBA All-Star team essentially out there against teams with 2-4 players who play in the NBA and they still barely won. 

A bigger issue is that it's 82 games + playoffs.  Not 8-12 like the Olympics.  Now some would contend that there is more time to get to know each other's ins and outs and such, but I believe it's more time to argue amongst each other and so on.

Not agent. Marketing Company. But it's something.

Also Carmelo and Kobe were kind of the leaders of that team from what I remember.

 I understand what you're getting at. Different situation. But still...if they can work together...it'll be huge.
