    If Lebron were to leave Cleveland, Philly is the best place to go. They have enough cap room, enough talented players in their rookie contracts, and as Lebron decays as he becomes older, those young talents will be better, this is a good balance.

    If we want to get Lebron, we need to practically get rid of everybody except Harden and Paul. If we do so, our squad will not be as competitive as Philly's squad plus Lebron. Besides, Philly is in the east, which is a much easier conference.

    I mean, if you connect the dots you can see why there's a chance, maybe it's not going to happen, but there's definitely more than a reason for him to come here now.

    Embiid can't play back to backs- still. Simmons and Fultz have broken jump shots. They are barely over .500. Slow your roll.

    "Next year" is 23 days away.
    It's been 23 years since the Rockets last won a title.
    Rockets are 19-4 ... through 23 games.
    LeBron James currently wears #23.

    If LeBron loses in the Finals this year, I think he heads West.

    This may sound like an unpopular theory, but I firmly believe LeBron would rather NOT reach the Finals than to lose to Golden State 3 or 4 times in his career. People seem to think that he wants to stay in the East and coast to the Finals every season. That may be true, but unless he joins Boston (which won't happen) there isn't a team in that conference who can remain competitive with them.

    He will move West to prevent tarnishing his legacy by being known as the man who lost to Golden State in the Finals every year. Besides, Houston has a sliiiiight chance at upsetting them this year. Add LeBron? That team has a serious chance to get past them.

    Not to mention the West isn't as competitive as it once was. San Antonio's core is getting older, Oklahoma City is terrible, the Clippers are back to being the Clippers and Minnesota is meh. He has a better chance at winning the title with the Rockets than he does if he coasts to the Finals with a mediocre Cleveland squad.
