I know Lebron and CP3 are good friends and have expressed interest in playing with each other, but I don't think their games fit. Both need to be primary the ball handler to be most effective. Same goes for Westbrook.
Just like I think CP3 would fit with Spurs I think he'd fit with LeBron. The Spurs/CP3/LeBron are all way too skilled with elite basketball IQ's to not be able to tweak their games and make it work extremely well. Bron and CP3 are two of the smartest, most efficient players of all time and there would be a variety of dangerous things they could do working off one another.
If I had to play devils advocate with Russ its just a pure talent standpoint. He's essentially an inefficient mini version of LeBron. My first thought would be to be wary Russ doesnt play like he would with Durant. And it would just be another episode of that. But when I think about it I dont think there's a player in the league that LeBron couldnt make "fit" with him. He'd actually talk to Westbrook instead of having silent competition during the game like he did with Durant. Westbrook obviously had the greenest of green lights to do what he did this season which is why I think he was so inefficient. Had nothing to lose trying and there was no reason for anyone to stop him. But pair him with Bron, he'd know before the season started that he could win a ring so he wouldnt be hell bent on averaging triple doubles and do things like play defense at the level hes capable of. LeBron would work with him, and in the end opposing teams would have to almost deal with 2 LeBrons constantly attacking you.
