Since the start of the NBA's free agency, much of the talk about who will go where revolved around one question: Will LeBron go home?

For James, a return to his home state of Ohio is a sensational turnaround after the fiasco that was "The Decision". After all, it was only four years ago that Cavaliers fans were using LeBron jerseys for firewood after the star decided to take his talents to South Beach.

But reactionary fans and embarrassing letters aside, James' return to Cleveland really does make the mind wonder. What if every team was full of hometown stars?

Imagine no more. Here's what the NBA would look like if stars played for their local clubs:

Milwaukee Bucks

Chicago Bulls

Cleveland Cavaliers

Boston Celtics

Los Angeles Clippers

Memphis Grizzlies

Atlanta Hawks

Miami Heat

Charlotte Hornets

Sacramento Kings

New York Knicks

Los Angeles Lakers

Orlando Magic

Dallas Mavericks

Brooklyn Nets

OKC Thunder

Portland Trailblazers

Indiana Pacers

New Orleans Pelicans
