Imagine if Kobe came out of retirement and joined the Cavs though? Is that too far-fetched? Why not...
Yes Kobe's EGO too big. He doesn't need the championships. His reputation will take a huge hit too to be a role player.
Idk... If he accepted his role of coming off the bench and playing 10-15 minutes a game... It could work.
He will always have a good reputation in my opinion (mostly) and I think it could work. I think the competitor in him (wanting to take down the Warriors) could factor in. But... this won't happen but the thought is intriguing

meaning if Lebron want the Cavs to decline his bird right & free up $29 million in cap hold and end up signing for the vet's minimum.
The NBA will never have the same competitiveness as the 90's/80's. Instead of beat the best, everybody wants to play with the best to better their brand. I miss the old days
The nba is already licking their chops to have the cavaliers and the Warriors in the finals. The refs already know no memo needed.
Just like Iverson and MJ, Kobe would never do this. The same time most of these top tier stars can't start anymore they will retire.
You mean like the celtics and lakers dominating every year with multiple hall of famers on each team?
Its Cavs vs Ws now. Wade could provide the extra scoring to make CLE better matched. The huge question is what to do with Love. Thompson has proved his worth. A line up of Kyrie, Lebron, Wade, and Thompson is a championship caliber line up in almost every year. What could Cleveland get to better themselves down low? heck at this point, shoot for Zach Randolph in a trade. If you're going to throw darts at a wall, may as well bring someone in who can actually bully people in the paint along with Thompson.
