If you still don't understand how there would be chemistry issues, anyway, i dont know what to tell you. You have 5 guys, none of them shoot threes or passes and 4 of them are use to 15-20 shots a game. You bring up salmons but you play 5 guys at a time in the NBA. So how can that work? It doesnt...except in rotisserie leagues but it doesnt even work there because you would get killed in a couple of categories.
Now, if your claim is that maybe they get a couple of the players you named to create cap space (perhaps deng or even rose) and find lesser paid parts that actually fit on the court, i can buy that. But a starting lineup of deng, rose, wade, bosh and noah doesnt work on many levels. Yes, four very talented players but talented players don't always play well together.

PG - Rose (Hard to believe you can find a major fault here)
SG - Wade (could pace himself with other weapons unlike now where he is basically asked to carry the entire load)
SF - Deng (He probably isnt worth his contract but is a good mid range scorer who would benefit greatly from playing with Wade and Bosh. Pretty good defender and rebounder with length)
PF - Noah (Relentless rebounder and good low post defender who stepped up his game this year before getting hurt. Does not need offensive touches)
C- Bosh (24-10 guy, very good defender in prime of his career)
6th mn - Salomns - (Offensive minded player who could spell Wade and Deng. Good 3 pt shooter)
7th man - Taj Gibson - (Good rookie season so far, brings energy and rebounding, has tons of upside)
It looks like the puzzle pieces fit pretty well. Each player is suited to their role. I have no idea how you dont see these players fitting together. It is a longshot to happen as they would still have to get rid of Thomas and Hinrich without taking on money and may even need Wade to take a little less than max money to fill up the cupboard. I will give you that all the dominos falling to make this happen is far from a certainty. But that team would be a serious contender.
