Would the Cleveland Cavaliers have the BEST STARTING 5 IN THE EAST if they sign LeBron James?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are already one of the Eastern Conference’s most talented teams, but adding LeBron James would completely change the conversation. A starting five featuring LeBron, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen would stack up with any lineup in the conference on paper. After reaching the Eastern Conference Finals a season ago, would that group immediately become the standard in the East, or would questions about fit, age, depth, and health keep teams like the defending champion New York Knicks in the conversation?
The bigger question is whether having the best starting five is enough to win a championship. The Cavaliers have learned firsthand that playoff success is about more than star power. Does adding LeBron solve the biggest issues that surfaced in the postseason, or would Cleveland still need more shooting, wing depth, and bench production to truly separate itself from the rest of the conference? If a reunion becomes reality, how much would it actually change the NBA landscape?

I am so glad McNuggets clapped back at Bull interrupting him between what seems like every word. Good Lord.
I don't care how many times I get shot down in the comments. I'm going to keep saying it. Good for you Bull. You look great and I love your enthusiasm. We all have that friend who is like that and he's still our friend.
Wishing you the best man.
Bull doesn’t add anything to any conversation. He doesn’t know who anyone is, but has to be talking at all times.
Philly might get him
The lightbulb blowing as you explain Rich Paul has this podcast going over all the teams that want LeBron is mind blowing. Idk how that’s legal in the CBA and I’m fine with that
Bull out here acting like cartman after he used ozempic
Did yall hear what rich paul said today?
Thank you McNuggets! Damn Bull
No offense to our guys and LeBron… but we would be a squad full of players who notoriously fall short of expectations. I don't know why anyone would think that team could beat Boston or Miami or the Knicks in 7. We'd probably get swept by any of them.
Warriors would be way too old.
Cavs on their knees begging pathetic organization
No they wouldn't. Harden is a mediocre player come playoffs. Mitch isn't really a guy that can lead you to a championship. Bron is in his 40s. Mobley and Allen are soft. Mobley or Allen need to go and be replaced with a true big man.
Bull being scared is the highlight of my week and that was great😂😂
Donovan was an all NBA first teamer and Mobley has been an all NBA second teamer. Kyrie only made on all nba second team in his entire career.
Bull is close to being the thinnest of the three guys now.
Why not trade Allen for Trey Murphy and put bron at 4 Murphy at 3
No
I’ve lost so much respect for this show. Begging for a middle age player to come back with no intentions to try to win.
Starting starting lineup? What a joke. What a joke. This is a comedy show. You guys are more desperate than LeBron. It is so sad to see. This is not believe land, This is mediocrity land.
Better than ever since Sanders came to the Browns G Bush has lost his mind when it comes to sports takes
5:40 Kyrie at his best is definitely better than mitchell at his
Bull may come off the wrong way but he means well – he is very entertaining and the young fella handled him very well also – great radio lol
Bull my god lmao
The Heat had the best starting 5. That front court would be killer plus Wiggins is very solid.
LeBron is the missing piece since LeBron left.
LeGandalf could average 20-8-8 playing 30 mins per game without back-to-backs and the Cavs could get that 1st seed in the East.
12:03 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get him McNuggets!
