LeBron James, Dwyane WadeIt would be, I dare say, the most bonkers transaction in the history of American sports -- bigger than Wayne Gretzky and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar being shipped to Hollywood, bigger than the Nets gift-wrapping Dr. J to the 76ers for $3 million, bigger than the Colts sending a petulant John Elway to Denver, bigger than the Cowboys trading Herschel Walker for three Super Bowl trophies, bigger than the absurdity of Red Sox owner Harry Frazee selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees so he could finance a musical, No, No Nanette.

In modern times or yesteryear, nothing matches the knuckle-hair-searing concept of LeBron James, in a package deal capable of igniting a tropical storm, joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh with the Miami Heat. This would be an unprecedented union of basketball talent in one swoop -- a supersized project coached and/or overseen by Hall of Famer Pat Riley, don't forget -- and I've come today to say it is no silly pipedream or blogger's whim. Forget all the various reports attached to sources who may or may not exist. The most credible form of attribution comes from Wade himself, who all but confirmed to the Miami Herald his desire to create the trifecta.
