    It's not about dismissing the reports. It's that LA seems like such an unpredictable situation. I could at least understand the appeal of Boston or Philly.

    He is a great player, but since he doesn't have any interest in Houston, I'm fine with him, not coming to the Rockets.

    Depends on if the Lakers end up with both. That’s still very much up in the air. Because LeBron and George opted out, the Lakers can only get Kawhi via trade, meaning the Spurs have to play ball. Far from a guarantee.

    I think Lebron to LA is inevitable, but that move makes Lebron irrelevant from a basketball standpoint given that he won't be on a contender anymore.

    No it’s like an episode of Fox News in here every single time someone reports news that’s not in our favor it’s fake news. Same exact bs with melo last year

    This is why there's so many repetitive threads. People make posts like this that create 20 pages of clutter & make it hard to find useful information.

    Yup, that's what this signifies to me. Eases the pressure on LA. Allows them to not put in ALL of their chips for Kawhi. LeBron doesn't commit to LA, but at the same time, helps their leverage.

    Well, that’s a damn shame. I wanted a Warriors-Rockets WCF rematch, but apparently that sh** won’t be going down again this year. Shame..

    There are only 3 conner stones on the team. Ariza and Gordon are nice, but they are replaceable.

    Remember up 3-2 versus Goofy State without CP3. Time to reload and hope for good health. Morey will get something
