Instead of going for multiple stars, split the money for more better role players. Have a system that makes like 7-8 players exchangeable on equal minutes. Individuals can push more on less minutes.
Is it possible to construct a team with 4 starter and 3-4 bench that only need to score at least 10 points per game and play D consistently for 82 games + playoff. Such team + lebron.

Role players dont win playoff games buddy. Just ask Toronto's bench mob how that went for them.
Put Lebron on the Raptors they win the championship. Take away Lowry and DeRozan with their bench. I'd say we'd be a lot better.
LeBron really don't need Kyrie or Kevin Love, he needs 4 guys like Paul George defend on the wing and knock down open shots, that is it.
PG is a superstar lol
I am not saying PG, but it can be middle class PG, poor man's PG, he just need that type of player, long wing with good defensive skills.
Lol what you think Cleveland has been doing these last couple of years? Shumpert jr crowder hood jefferson delly hill are or were good defenders and 3 point shooters at some point during their careers. Good consistent 3 and D players are extremely rare.
That's a pretty generous definition of superstar.
4 players of PG quality is ex and rare. Maybe a cheap version that only need 10 pts, how hard is it to get that quality in nba? Jaylen and Tatum are rookies and can play better.
It's sad in today's league players get paid 10+ mil and can't put the ball into net when they are wide open. Where's the professionalism? Shooters like Curry Klay those guys are stars not because of their born gifts but rather their hard work. Korver works hard enough but his physique and age can't hold up.

I get it. But it's a star driven league.
But Lebron doesn't need stars he needs shot makers and spark plugs. If a player went for a quick 5-10 points while he was resting and kept the game even and then lebron checked back in it'd make everything easier. If we had a couple Eric Gordon get your own shot players I think it'd do wonders.
But I think we can both agree that Eric Gordon isn't a role player. A role player is like Kyle Korver. Eric is multi dimensional.
Multi dimensional.. role player
I think it's a good idea if your goal is to get a great regular season record and get to the playoffs. If your goal is to win the championship, you absolutely need as much star power as you can. When the lights shine brightest and the pressure is highest, it's the stars who come out to perform. The warriors are damn near unbeatable in a series because when one or two of their stars underperform, they're able to have the other 2 step up. In today's NBA, having multiple all Stars is a key for success
That's kinda what the Cavs are now, and those role players can't even help us against the warriors. They need stars who can shoot.
That's what we are on paper. Before they were here, Clarkson, Hill, and Hood were all solid, consistent role players.
Things are so different playing with LeBron and two of those guys haven't adjusted yet. We desperately need another star who can take over a game when Love isn't on.
Clarkson was a streaky player. He also isnt a very good shooter or playmaker either.
Hood cant handle pressure of playoffs. Was garbage in playoffs with Jazz too. He is the real puzzling one.
