Do you still want LeBron if ROX win it all this year?

Gutting bench is what worries me the most, but if Lebron and/or Paul are willing to play for less than max how can anyone NOT want the King???

This is reason why I’m advocating for a young up and comer like Aaron Gordon instead. Trading for AG would allow Rockets flexability to retain EGordon, Moute, Nene, etc.

 

If it helps us go back to back. Absolutely I do

 

Yes, of course.

 

If there's a chance he commits to signing here for at least 2 years, I would agree with a fire sale to get rid of some players in order to make room. Can't see him choosing the Rockets if PG13 signs over in LA though. Sources (according to all the media articles) have stated that LeBron is more motivated by winning a ring and the Rockets are always interested in trading players so we would be the realistic choice... Not to mention we run MDA's system, whose at best can replicate GSW (to a lesser extent) and has shown to extend the career of players who've been successful in his system.

Hard to see him leaving the Eastern conference and coming the loaded Western conference. Honestly I could go either way with LBJ but I'm really fed up with Ryan and him not being able to do what we pay him to do. I need that issue resolved ASAP. Gordon and basically everyone else at least tries to shoot the ball. I'd rather you go 1/8 for FG's over going 1/4. at least in the former scenario a player tried but was having an off night. With the later, that player doesn't even look interested in showing up to work.

 

The only thing better than 1 ring is 2 so my answer is yes.

 

There are very few scenarios where LeBron joining your team is a bad idea. This is not one of them.

 

again, ifs....

by May this year, we would probably discuss:
if Ryno shoot well, we should have beaten the GSW...

 

dunno bout lerbon. joe johnson doe....

 

It would depend on two things for me:

1. What would the Rockets have to give up to get him? If it was just 2-3 pieces, young prospects and picks, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But if they can't pull a sign and trade and instead have to gut the roster to pretty much everybody but Harden and Paul, then I'm not sure that trio with a bunch of veteran minimum guys will be better than this year's squad, which has 8-9 really solid NBA players.

2. How healthy were the Warriors in the playoffs? If they were 100 percent healthy or maybe just missing role players, I'd be hesitant to want to break up that Houston squad. But if the Rockets beat them with one of Curry, Durant and/or Green missing a big chunk of time, then you could make the case that Houston wasn't necessarily better and still needed to improve to take down the Warriors moving forward.

 

I don’t think Lebron is joining a team that just won a championship

Lebron coming to Houston is seen as a possibility because we’re not expected to beat GS, and he could be the piece that puts us over the top...if we’re already at the top then that changes things

just my opinion tho

 

No, it's like landing Kevin Durant from warriors

Everyone would call lebron a ring hopper. I doubt even Lebrun would consider it

 

yup, sure for the right amount of years, dun overthink it!

 

There's like a 5 percent chance of winning it this year so this seem like a farcical question.

 

As an NBA fan, I would be against Lebron coming to a title team for the same reason I was against Durant joining the Warriors. I think philosophically it is something that he, the player, should not do.

As a Rockets fan, I'm not going to say no to the second best player in NBA history. It is something I would approve of the team doing.

 

The difference might be if the narrative is that we won in a colossal upset over the greatest team ever assembled, and GS still has 4 stars. Plus don't underestimate his desire to play with Paul (and maybe Harden), and rings are rings. He already has 3 so its not like you could say he only won another because he joined a ready made team. At this point, LeBron probably wants 3 more rings so he can argue he is the GOT.

 

If we win, it probably means Ryno had a good shooting playoffs, making him easier to trade as part of the LeBron trade.

 

Nope. And don't want him if we lose either
