The Warriors have a way better fit.

Rose is redundant with Wade and LeBron. Love is rather unplayable vs the Warriors and the Cavs frontcourt defense is non-existent.

Wade/LeBron can probably steal 2 games.

I would switch Jr. Smith for Crowder as we need more spacing. Cavs in 7.

Warriors take this pretty easily imo. Cavs have no frontcourt and are full of players who really don't add anything to the team.

Not much shooters for 2018 Cavs.

2006 Wade, 2013 Bron, 2011 Rose wouldn't work as good as 2016 Curry, 2014 Durant, and 2018 Klay.
Warriors would shoot the lights out.
