One of the best fits would be Pau Gasol, an quicker big man who will bang down low, but won't clog up to many driving lanes. But Kobe already has him. So that would be my answer to #1.
I think he would look pretty good with Bosh and maybe even Dirk. I hate the idea of him and Wade on the same team though. So thats my answer to #2.
I'd say Dwayne Wade. Two of the top 3 players imo on the same team. I've seen these two get triple teamed before, you wouldn't be able to do that if they played on the same team.
The most realistic choice was clearly Amar'e. All Ferry had to do was give up Hickson in the Suns deal and Cleveland would be preparing themselves for their first ring right now.
If LBJ and Amare had agreed to resign together, you'd be talking about something really incredible being built.
Sidekick? When has Lebron shown he can carry a team? He does a fine job in the regular season but who cares about that?
Lebron has shown time and time again hes not clutch. Hes not the go to man minus that prayer against the Magic last year. Last three years he has done less and less in the playoffs.

Quite honestly, Wade > James
James should be Wade's sidekick.
In 2007, Lebron carried a woefully undermanned team into the finals, including that 48 point assault against the vaulted Pistons defense. His ability to carry a team is fine. What I have noticed though, is he seems to perform better when he's the underdog( like the above scenario).
Games 5 and 6 against the Celtics this year was the first time I've seen Lebron appear 'disinterested' or mailing it in. Even last year when the Cavs lost to Orlando, Lebron averaged 38,8, and 8, including that amazing gamewinner at the buzzer in Game 2. How much more can one man do?
I still think the Cavs should have gone for Amare. Jamison, while capable of putting up numbers, has never been a winner anywhere he's gone, I'm not sure why people thought his acquisition would put them over the top.

If Wade was better than Lebron than why is Lebron the most sought after free agent and not Wade? Although I agree after Kobe you could really go either way with Wade and Lebron, Wade has a championship and Lebron has two MVPs.

Because the media has been on James' lovestick since he was in high school. The so-called next Michael Jordan then Wade came out of nowhere. No one thought Dwanye Wade would become this good.
Like I said, James is a regular season juggernaut but that really doesnt matter much especially in the NBA. Take the Celtics for my example. They put on their A game during Cavs series and wiped the floor with them. Then they proceeded to pretty much do the same thing with the Magic. The 3 seed beat the 1 and 2 seed. Back when the Pistons were good, they didnt really try much in the regular season so they could save their starters for the playoffs. The Spurs did the same exact thing pretty much every time they won it all. Celtics followed this formula but it was out of their control since it was injuries not coaches decisions to bench starters.
James' needs someone who is willing to take the last minute shot because hes not comfortable doing that. I heard Hudo wants to get out of Toronto, hes someone willing to take that last minute shot and is a great 4th quarter player.
James' is not someone you can depend on to make that shot. Hes the one you can depend on draw alot of attention to give that other player an open shot. Too bad Robert Horry retired because he would be perfect for James.
