Kidd and LeBron: Daydreams
As fans and observers of the League, it’s only normal (and natural) for us to daydream about our favorite players playing on the same team. While we can only assume that those players engage in the same fantasies, it’s really quite rare to hear them express it.
Jason Kidd, talking to SI.com, admitted that he and LeBron James have thought and talked about what it would be like if they played on the same squad:
Kidd admits that he and James daydream about contending for championships together in Cleveland. “There’s a little talk,'’ Kidd said.
“But I told him, ‘What-ifs can get you in trouble. You go out there and do your thing, and if I don’t get to play with you until this summer [at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing], then that’s the way it’s meant to be. But the big thing is for you to go out there and lead your team.’ And that’s what he’s doing.'’
As wonderful as that combination would be, and as happy as it would make most of us (to say nothing of the two superstars), it’s highly unlikely that it’ll come to fruition anytime soon, if ever: LeBron’s deal with the Cavs runs out in 2010, and Kidd (who’s trying to make the best of the situation in Jersey) doesn’t become a free agent until after next season.

Jamison says:
For the good of his own team, shouldn’t Kidd be keeping his dreams of playing with the Cavs to himself? He’s not exactly following his own advice.

This could go on for ages. It’s pretty much like making your own NBA Jam combination.

father and son would be reunited as well, good times.

Tyree says:
It would be good to see them two together but i agree with Bron and Kobe. But if you can have the deadly three kidd, Lebron, and Kobe they would do better than Ray Allen, KG, and Paul Pierce

Bron and howard would be a dominating combo..to bad we can only imagine……

Hey guys, been awhile since i’ve been on. Had a disturbing dream last night that Houston beat Boston 4-3 in the Finals. Instant cold-sweat.

Russ Bengtson says:
They’ll probably play with each other in the 2008 All-Star Game. But while we’re at it: Nash, Kobe, LeBron, Dwight and KG, please.

d.Y. says:
If Booz had never lied to the blind guy, and they signed Redd…
Nov.29 at 2:24 pm
Russ Bengtson says:
Given what happened with Boozer and now Varejao, shouldn’t the Cavs just trade away ALL of their future second-round picks?

Shaq and Kobe

Johnnypinball says:
This one’s inspired by Keith’s first comment: Muggsy Bogues, Spud Webb, Earl Boykins, Nate Robinson. Yuta Tabuse would play center.

How about Oliver Miller and Oliver Miller? Oh wait, that was ONE guy?

stephen jackson and ron artest, that would be crazzzy
Nov.29 at 4:50 pm
Zabba says:
Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest together in the same tight would be too much for the other teams to handle. Fights would break out, for sure.
Nov.29 at 5:25 pm
whitechocolate says:
Yi and Yao would be cool. And Stephen Jackson has already been on Artests Team. It was the same squad that had the malace at the palace

The infamous DP says:
reminds me of the lupe song “daydreamin”, but I really daydream one day if Chris Paul, Kobe, and KG were on the same team. Talk about a freakin big three! play wit it.

Big Bad Wolf says:
Why does it have to be like that? All you need to do is make the players around you play what you want them to do. Correct me if I am wrong like MJ and Scottie Pippen.
