Rockets would be his best bet to beat warriors but rockets would have to gut their team and Paul and Lebron would need to take pay cuts.


I can see Sixers, he sees Ben Simmons in himself + Embiid and playing in East.


The Lakers have the most noise though by media but I don’t see it unless he just wants to live in LA

He'd make Embiid his Channing Frye and Simmons his Chalmers without a jumper :picard:

can someone give me a breakdown on how the Rockets could realistically acquire Bron this summer? @Hiphoplives4eva @who_better_than_me @DonKnock

they make the most sense if its feasible


Highly doubt Capela or Ariza get dealt for Lebron. They'll be free agents who would need to agree to a S&T. That would also impose a hard cap on CLE (just as the Rockets would be hard-capped if they acquired Lebron via S&T).

As I said the other day on Twitter, WHILE ANY PATH TO LEBRON IS UNLIKELY, the most plausible route to Lebron is that he opts in this June (a la CP3) and forces a trade to Houston, with the Rockets dealing Gordon (plus more) to the Cavs and dealing Anderson plus at least one first rounder to a third team.



I was told that Bron already agreed with CP3 and Melo to come here if we got Melo, so it’s already within his realm of possibility to come to Houston, looks like not getting Melo wasn’t a deal breaker:yeshrug:
