LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the Same Team?

Dwayne Wade and LeBron James on the same team in 2010 is a long shot. But it's not out of the question.

Can two mega-stars in their prime ever coexist? Can their egos be set aside?

Wade recently made some very intriguing comments to the New York Post regarding his free agency after the season:

"Before we agreed to terms, LeBron and I had a couple conversations," Wade said. "I can't recall exactly what we said, but the gist of it was we wanted to give ourselves the flexibility and the option to play together."

The two played together in the 2008 Olympics so they have experience playing together. The two most successful players from the 2003 draft have developed a friendly relationship over the years.

The only way this would work is if the dynamic-duo would take a significant pay cut. Nobody expects pro athletes to do that. There's going to be a white Christmas in Hawaii before a athlete surrenders some of his money.

But Wade says that is not necessarily the case:

"A lot of times in this league, players usually wind up going where they can get the most money. We're both blessed within that area. We've made a lot of money. So we wanted to base our decision on two things, the organization and the ability to win a title. And that's what we'll do. When the season is over, we plan to sit down and talk about it."

This is great news for New York Knick fans. The franchise might be able to pull off something this outrageous. James and Wade can make up the lost salary with all the endorsements deals they can handle.

"I'm not saying it will happen. But I'm intrigued by the idea."

How much money can a franchise make off the star power of combing those two? How many new fans can they attach with a combo like that?

I'm quivering at the mere thought. This is going to be quite the summer for the NBA.
