Nah. Russ, Waiters, and Bron are not a good fit. There's potential but Russ would have to let his ego to the side a bit. Don't know if he's capable.

It's impossible to answer a question like this without knowing what the bench looks like.
People act like the bench doesnt impact the playoffs. Actually it has a huge impact every year.
Edit: But probably not enough shooting in that lineup regardless.

Same bench as current OKC minus KD of course.

Hell no.
You forgot the one rule about Lebron James:
He turns superstars into role players.
He makes role players have their best seasons.

what evidence do you have of this? Lebron hasn't played with a superstar in his career. Wade? Please.

Westbrook is better than Irving, but Irving's shooting fits so much better with LeBron. Really, that team has nobody to spread the floor, which is essential in a LeBron based system.

delly
shump
lbj
thompson
mozgov

LMAO
Wade was a top 5 player before Lebron joined. Bosh was top 10. Funny how both dropped off like crazy quickly...
On the other hand, Lebron elevates guys like JR Smith, Chalmers, etc.

yet they still played the same without lebron on the team. Wade had injuries which plagued him and bosh got lazy to work inside.

Ibaka can knock down a 3 occasionally like those other guys, but you wouldn't want to consistently rely on him. LeBron needs a consistent 3 point shooter (most teams do really, it isn't just about LeBron) to be successful.
GSW weren't really on the "edge" IMO. There were 2 games where they didn't look right, and the Cavs actually out shot the Warriors from 3. The Warriors made some adjustments and then never looked back. Those 2 games don't prove that LeBron can consistently win with those guys.
