Admit it, NBA fans. The thought of a potential Dwyane Wade-Kobe Bryant pairing for the 2015-16 Los Angeles Lakers is at the very least, intriguing.
Yes, both historically prolific scorers are in the final stretch of their careers, the point where both Father Time and the injury bug loom as constant threats to their current production. And yes, the two parties would only come together if Plan A options don't pan out.
In a perfect world, the Lakers, who only have $35 million committed to next season's payroll, would use their financial flexibility to acquire younger players who don't have Wade's injury history.
