Carmelo Anthony will join LeBron James in Miami to regain their glory while battling their new nemesis, the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavs with all their first picks ready to shine! But will they be able to beat the revamped L.A. Lakers as they bring their three amigos of LeBron, Melo and the all-new Kobe Bryant?

Let the NBA Clone Wars Begin!!

The team also potentially owns three first-round picks in the 2015 draft, including the Heat's pick if they fall outside the top 10. They also have the Memphis Grizzlies' pick if it falls between Nos. 6 and 14 and their own pick. The Cavs believe they can use these as assets in potential trades to further upgrade the roster if James will come aboard.

The Cavs also made an unheralded trade late on draft night that has potential to become valuable next year, an aspect they intend to explain to James: as part of a draft-pick swap, the Cavs traded Alonzo Gee for Brendan Haywood in a deal that will be announced after July 10.

In addition to having size the Cavs need, Haywood has an unorthodox contract created when he was waived via the amnesty clause by the Dallas Mavericks

On a more basic level, the Cavs currently don't have the cap space to sign James to the $20.7 million maximum contract he is looking for. They have some players on nonguaranteed deals they could waive but will want to keep Anderson Varejao, who has a partially guaranteed deal and is the lone holdover on the team from James' years in Cleveland.

The easiest way to get near the needed space would be to offload the $6.3 million salary of guard Jarrett Jack, and the Cavs have been in trade talks involving Jack for several weeks, sources told ESPN.com.

You're talking about him joining a .400 team?

I would respect that

I think if Dan Gilbert didn't write that letter and everything else LeBron would be in Cle this summer.

Pretty sure there would have to be a major mea culpa (privately and publicly) on Gilbert's part for
LeBron to come back to Cleveland. Seriously doubt LeBron would come back if there wasn't one.

definitely think that's true. lebron treated that whole thing very stupidly and then gilbert acted like a jilted lover and went psycho. i think both guys wish they did that whole thing differently.

I agree. Both were at fault. He shouldn't have strung the Cavs and their fans along the way he did.

Lebron added to this team wins 55 games easy next season probably 60. The went from a .744 team to a .232 the year after he left.

That sounds about right. Earlier he talked about wanting to win eight championships, though. Remember when he first joined Miami? For that kind of goal, I think there are better options.

I like the Cavs situation , Id much rather have their roster then the Knicks. I think they have done a poor job drafting , they were very fortunate to get Wiggins

wouldn't Melo just go Houston himself if that were true?

that team is stacked if LBJ comes aboard and I'm not even considering Bennett or Waiters turning it around
