    Nah ...

    Don't you know NBA recent history? He was criticized for joining Miami. But when he proved himself dragging the Heat and Cavs to championships, he gained a ton of respect. Didn't you watch the Eastern playoffs? No one (except the insecure Warriors players) questions that he is the best player on the planet. Harden does not come close.

    If he joins us, it's to chase Jordan's record of 6 rings. And ... A BIG FAVOR to CP3, one of his closest friends.

    Harden would need to admit he is not the leader of this team. CP already was handed it this last playoff series. He recruited Tucker, Luc, and now recruiting LeBron. CP did not move to HOU just to play one year. It will depend on LeBron coming.

    Where else can LeBron win 3 more rings?

    Basically . .. . LeBron and CP3 could only play 60 games during the regular season
    Then come back and roll the play offs.
    Play off seeding and homecourt IMO would be less relevent.

    He will get hate for sure. But logically speaking, what else is he supposed to do? Is he just supposed to be content with not having a chance at winning at a title while KD gets the benefits as a total snake? Best thing Lebron could do for his legacy is come here, Boston, or Philly, play there for a couple years and win a coupe of titles, cause GSW to break up, and then "return" to Cleveland again lol.

    Lebron to Houston is the best chance he can get in winning a championship. I think he will come here. I have a feeling...

    Durant joined a team with 3 allstars, a defensive player of the year Green, a former allstar off the bench in Igoudala.... uhm yeah.. 73 win team that was already a juggernaut and were basically defending champs.... gross... biggest Biatch move in NBA History. Period! Warriors were a Beverly Curry ankle incident away from winning it all. Boy did I miss Beverly for game 7. If Lebron wants to take a chance and come to Houston and win a Chip with these guys... I think the rest of the NBA world would root for us to smack the livin' Sh÷t out of the Warriors.

    Huge differences

    Golden State was already a championship team
    Durant couldnt beat them on OKC and he joined the team that beat him

    Lebrons won championships but hes on a team that isnt going to win another during his good years
    Houston is not a championship team. A contender. The best contender, but still not a champion
    He would be the piece that makes a contender a possible champion
    Lebron didnt lose to Houston.
    He isnt going to win a title on any other team even in the east. He would have to face GS anyway.

    So no its not the easy way out. Its the smart route.

    "If you can't beat them, join them." - KD (on joining Golden State)
    "If you can't be them, join them." - Lebron (on joining Houston)

    Nah not really. He’d prove his haters that say “he wouldn’t move to the west”.

    That’s the only thing that Lebron has left to do, win in the Western Conference. Beating the Warriors would be his goal though. Especially with Durant

    Durant made it cool to do this. Warrior fans can hate all they want but Durant rewrote the rules so we can play by them

    I dont think anyone can out b**** Kevin Durant. Nothing Lebron can do will be looked upon more negatively than that. Durant already ****ed things up for everyone else, if anything, Lebron will be viewed as the guy trying to stop it. he's actually in a no lose situation right now for the first time. No decision he makes right now will be criticized imo (except going to golden state)

    Many already consider lebron to be better tham Jordan, now lebron wants to catch him in rings. No doubt he ring chases now more than ever.

    LeBron CARRIED his teams to the finals. He took a bunch of scrubs back in 2007 to the finals, all those years in Cleveland. To an extent, the Miami teams needed him to be amazing to win it all. What has Durant done? None of the above.
