"Our focus is getting Better, getting Healthier." James Harden reveals Rockets free agent targets. 1. Better and 2. Healthier. What positions do these guys play?
http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/la-sp-nba-james-harden-lebron-20180625-story.html “Honestly, like, what, LeBron’s about to be in his 16th year in the league?,” Harden said. “I don’t think there’s anybody that can persuade him to go where he wants to go. I think it’s all up to him at this place in his career. He’s got three championships. It’s about business, it’s about family for him. Whether he wants to go to Houston or LA or stay in Cleveland, no GM, no friend, nobody can persuade him other than maybe his kids and his wife. Whatever he decides to do, he’ll do it.” Harden’s teammate Chris Paul is a close friend of James’. The “banana boat” group of Paul, James, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are called that because they vacationed together and were photographed on a banana boat. But Harden insists Paul isn’t pushing James with a recruiting pitch. “Nahh,” Harden said. “Him and Chris are really tight. As a friend, him and Chris are really good friends. I don’t think they talk about him coming to Houston. I think they talk about basketball and if LeBron wants to say, ‘Hey, I’m thinking about coming your way,’ then that’s a discussion we can have. I don’t think they talk about it.”
No it is the truth. James Harden is absolutely correct. Lebron is not a dumb athlete. He does not need a pitch from the teams and players as to why he should come to Houston. It is all about his family and business at this point. Is there an insanely good prep school with an amazing basketball program available for his children? I went to Awty and it was all Soccer. Strake Jesuit maybe? I think the rest of texas, especially Houston is football. I am thinking Lebron either stays in Clevland or goes to L.A . Because that is what his family wants.
What a great value bet for Cleveland at +425! I could easily see LeBron not wanting to leave the Cavs fanbase high and dry again, plus they added Sexton. Cavs and Boston would be the guaranteed ECF again.
**** it, run it back..inject some of whatever LeBron is using into CP3 and let's get the chip next year. Bron or no Bron, let's get it.
Well I don't think Harden is also going to come out and say DM and Tilman have been talking to Lebron for a year! Everyone has to be very careful not to pull a Magic Johnson and get hit with Tampering fines.
