Electrifying as teammates for one night, imagine LeBron James and Dwyane Wade together for an entire season.

At least one of them does.

``We can dream, can't we?'' Wade said. ``I dream.''

After watching them Sunday night in the All-Star game at Cowboys Stadium, who wouldn't? Well, except rival coaches.

Wade scored 28 points and was the MVP, James added 25 and the East beat the West 141-139 before 108,713 fans, the largest crowd ever to attend a basketball game.

A James-Wade partnership could happen, but that wouldn't be until the summer. In the meantime, one or both of them still could get some All-Star caliber help.

The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, with Cleveland and Miami among the teams most frequently appearing in the usual mid-February speculation.
