Here's a sight for sore eyes for Cleveland Cavaliers fans.

Carmelo Anthony and Kyrie Irving teamed up in a pickup game at UCLA on Tuesday, making for one dynamic scoring duo.

It's not their first time suiting up together, as they've also represented the East All-Stars and Team USA - and some hope it won't be their last.

Anthony endured a tumultuous season with the New York Knicks, as former team president Phil Jackson made it known he wanted to send the 33-year-old forward packing. The Zen Master has since parted ways with the club, but it's believed the damage has been done and Anthony no longer wants to stay with his hometown club.

The 10-time All-Star has been linked in trade rumors to the Cleveland Cavaliers, among other clubs, and he's reportedly willing to waive his no-trade clause to join Irving and Banana Boat buddy LeBron James. While there have been many more signals that he'll head to the Houston Rockets, that won't stop folks from dreaming.

Here's more of Irving and Anthony playing against another All-Star and USA Basketball teammate in Jimmy Butler:
