    5 pages!?!?!?

    Guys.......Haynes is a Warriors hack. He's not going to acknowledge us and Lebron.

    Please lock this garbage too.

    I just don’t like the fact lebron is being paired with guys who really can play the same position. PG and Leonard are virtually lebron clones but not lebron.

    Plus no team is ready made with vets like the Rockets. Plug in Lebron and not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 championship.

    I think this WCF showed that positions on the floor doesn't really matter so long as you have three things:

    1) shot creators
    2) players who can switch and guard multiple positions
    3) 3 point shooters and floor spacers

    LeBron would fit great next to George or Kawhi because when paired together they can give Golden State headaches defensively. The biggest challenge would be surrounding those guys with shooters.

    If we keep our roster in tact and bring LeBron in for Gordon and Anderson, we will have elite playmaking and versatile defenders capable of negating Golden State's motion offense. Hopefully we can beef up our bench with a couple of shooters.

    Philly? They would have shot creators and defenders but nobody who can shoot. That isn't enough to beat the Warriors. LA maaaybe, but a lot of dominos must fall first to make that scenario work.

    Yeah, you are right about the players being versatile but still pairing him with either of those two wouldn’t get you past the warriors. I think the same of philly and think they should stay the course. Maybe figure out what they want to do with Fultz. LA should be his very last choice!!

    There would be no Lebron going against Lebronto saurus. Would elevate them to new heights.

    He's not saying anything that we don't already know...the Rockets are ****ed with their cap situation when it comes to signing LeBron. I'm sticking with Windhorst's (foremost LeBron expert) words that said there were no situations that were good enough for the LeBron to leave Cleveland.

    Philly isn't it (would be no better positioned than he is now and would possibly even stifle the maturation of their younger players)
    Lakers aren't it (even with PG they don't stand a chance against the Warriors)

    Philly and LAL are pretty much the only 2 teams that have the cap space to sign him outright AND they can field OK (Lakers) or decent (Sixers) rosters.


    I think LeBron stays in Cleveland unless the Rockets make a deal and clear the proper space. End of story.

    Nobody has any clue WTF is going on. I'm sick of all these reporters spreading this B.S. like they have any legitimate Intel.

    Just tweet random s**t for clicks and maybe you will get lucky and something will stick. Meaningless trash all if it.

    The problem is it is not a normal job offer and he is not a normal person. He is Thanos.

    Bosh would have liked to play for the rox himself, can understand the fondness.

    It really is that simple. I don't trust what he said about Ariza but I took his Houston comment like Windhorst, Skip, Shannon, and all the rest as simply not fully understanding the CBA. We have an uncanny knowledge here compared to others as a source of pride because of Morey's dealings and BimaThug dropping the knowledge and kind of forcing everyone to know their **** or not post. The opt-in trade I think just still baffles them and the concept that the cap really doesn't matter. I think this is a done deal except for the Ryno trade and that is a legitimate source to have doubt about. I have to think there is something agreed to with a 3rd team like Sac to quickly make this happen. Windhorst confirmed what we all knew that Cle would facilitate a deal. We won't have to wait long for this to be resolved.

    He’s a GS puppet. He was probably talking to a GS source who said something like, “with their cap situation, I don’t think it’s realistic.”

    But somehow GS will get a meeting?? Does he not see their cap situation!?

    Nothing to see here

    Look guys, chris Paul was traded to Rockets on June 28th. Chris Haynes knew of this trade 4 days prior on June 24. When he says Houston is tough. It makes sense because we don’t know if Cleveland will be willing to work with us on a trade. If Lebron wants to outright walk without being traded or talking to cavs management he’s gonna have to go to philly. Its easy for them. If you look back at Lebrons press conference today. He spoke about curry, Klay and Draymond being on cheap deals and the warriors being able to pick up draymond Bc curry was hurt early in his career a lot. This is a huge parallel to Embiid and Simmons being hurt early on. Simmons can play true pg, and Lebron has developed his game enough to be a scorer and a secondary passer to end his career. Embiid will be the best Center Lebrons ever played with. Lebron wants talent he can develop. What he loved about Kyrie was that Lebron saw his talent and he developed him into a cerebral player. He wants to do the same with Embiid and Simmons.

    The Vegas line does not account for how hard it will be to get there, how injured CP, Harden, LBJ will be, how good the role players look like, how well the season goes.

    Stranger things have happened with decisions as DeAndre has chosen Dallas and backed out.

    It's just a good percentage of signing him. One that makes sense.
