    It may mean less in terms of accomplishments but I still like to watch basketball at the highest level, especially if the team playing it is the Rockets. If you think about the Rockets less as a team and more as an entertainment product having LeBron is awesome, even if you feel a championship will be cheapened and he may just leave in 2 years to catch the next super team.

    Les and Morey have a lot to do with that. That's why all those dudes from the players to the brass thank Les. It all starts with him and they know that.

    I don't like it either but that's some high level basketball being played between two stacked teams... nobody complains in Soccer that Real Madrid and Barca at all times have like 10 of the top 20 players in the world. It's bad for parody and if your a cheap franchise but luckily we have been blessed with not falling into the rut that about half the teams are in of having a bad perception around the league.

    No, I'm not affiliated with the Rockets, just a fan who happens to know how to animate because I'm also a filmmaker.

    edit, I thought you were talking about me. I think you mean Ben though after a reread.

    That's true

    This is why I'm saying Golden State will never be KD's team, it'll forever be Curry's team. It was Wade's Heat not Lebron's..

    Look guys nobody looks back and says remember when Drexler lead us to the the championship. It was Hakeem's team. Sure he was traded for, but nonetheless this is Harden-Town. Anyone coming through here is an accessory to James not the other way around. Hakeem didn't get his first title till he was what 33? James could very well finish his career as the all time greatest Rocket, but it's imperative to get the talent around him to compete. Even if it's a slimy Lebron or KD.

    I want LB here. It would be a F U to GSW. F U to all the big money markets - NY, LA etc

    Most importantly, LBJ here will do a lot, a LOT for the City of Houston. In terms of $$$ for the city, the poor in the community, the name brand of the city etc

    My sources are telling me that yes the trade will most likely be after the ESPYS but remember nothing is imminent so how long after the ESPYS is still being ironed out.

    Sauces: Melo to Houston is being discussed. Things are fluid at the moment. Stay tuned. May or may not turn solid.

    You know what's crazy?

    Exactly three months ago (last game of the regular season), the value of Ryan Anderson and his contract was at an all time high, meanwhile the value of Carmelo Anthony and his contract was at an all time low.

    Why are things fluid before becoming solid?

    I've found if you want to seem credible just say you have Sources and spit out information that could never be confirmed or proven wrong... I think I have a future in the business!

    You should check out his articles and podcasts. He's clearly a Houston fan. I think he might even cover the Astros and Texans.
