LeBron need Rockets. Rockets need LeBron. Please pick one option!

Discussion in 'Houston Rockets: Game Action & Roster Moves' started by ballscientist1, Jan 24, 2018.

?

Assume that Rockets have 44 million to spend in summer? Which option do you pick?

  1. LeBron 36 million and Wade 8 million. Let Capela, Ariza, Luc Moute walk for nothing.

    45.1%
  2. Pay Capela 23 million, Ariza 10 million, LMM 10 million. Don't want LeBron and his no-trade clause.

    54.9%

    Sorry, I am unable to edit. Capela first year salary is 24 million.

    Cavs dysfunction!

    In 2019 summer, that awesome BOAT will store in Houston.

    Assumption:

    1. Mark Cuban gives Clint Capela an offer sheet. 4 years 84 million with starting year at 24 million (24, 22, 20, 18)

    2. Both Ariza and LMM want 10 million a year.

    3. Both LeBron and Chris Paul want Wade to join Rockets before they sign the contracts.

    I’m sure mark will do 1 or someone will. Clint won’t say no to that kinda money.

    U doubt 2&3 happen

    Maybe Ariza and Luc will want a little more but Ariza would prob take a discount too.

    I don’t think Chris would want wade here. Idk we could bring wade later in the season.

    But if that was the case I would pick Capela Luc and Ariza over lebron and wade.

    I would be okay with Capela leaving if we get someone like DJ at a discount. People say Capela is much better in the ft but so has Dj this year around 60%. He gets monster dunk on impossible passes to catch. And gets rebound easily.

    But I would like to keep Ariza and Luc and get lebron if possible.

    hard choice though. Paying Lebron is find but losing all those 3 guys is tough.

    Given he is a bonafide locker room cancer and quitter no we don’t necessarily absolutely need him Would I love to have him ?sure but he is a destructive force when things are not going his way.

    In 2019 summer, Melo is likely to join Rockets.

    I would have Lebron sign for a discount and keep Capela. I might offer Wade the league minimum, but probably not. At this point, Lebron needs the Rockets more than the Rockets need Lebron. He needs a few more championships for the knuckle draggers who hype that type of thing up to get off his dick about it and there's not really a better spot for him to do that than in Houston.....and they need to keep Capela in order to be that team so he'd have to take a discount.

    Says who?

    How do you even know we would want him then, since you have no idea what our team will look like at that point?

    These threads you've been starting all seem like attempts to troll CF and get people riled up. :rolleyes:

    Wade is seeking for money. Vince Carter (40 yrs old) signed one year deal 8 million.

    It's time Lebron takes a discount like KD did. If he costs 36 mil, **** that. Plenty of nice UFAs this off season.

    I'd hope Capela doesn't go to shitty ass Mark Cuban for an offer. He'd be really screwing over the Rockets. At least we'd have a backup option in Deandre. Still don't know what's going to happen w/ him.

    Lebron would destroy the rockets. We would have no center, no defense (he clearly doesn't play defense now) and we would be relying entirely on our A+ rating of an offensive team, and a B of a defensive team. If Lebron decides not to show up like he tends to do from time to time, its going to be all on Harden or cp3.

    so nah. they can keep lebum. we're good enough just adding one more good piece and getting a legit championship
