    No, winning one championship versus becoming the next odds on favorite dynasty.

    Anything can happen to ruin a dynasty’s chances. I’m taking the 100% chance of a championship. It’s been over twenty years since we’ve won it.

    Dan Gilbert will reject to any types of S&T proposal if Rockets don't have 25 million cap space because of no threat to them.

    If yes, the proposal would be like

    Rockets get LeBron/Thompson/JR Smith/Shumpert (Rockets can dump 3 bad contracts later)

    Cavs get Capela, Gordon, LMM, Ariza .......

    Dan Gilbert will not pay any luxury repeater taxes without LeBron/Irving.

    Rockets new benches would be

    Anderson
    JR Smith
    Shumpert
    TT

    I'm convinced you new age fans are more obsessed with the hype of getting Lebron than winning a ring. Your more concerned with how your 2K rosters will look than the actual team winning it all

    Here could be the craziest scenario for next year that I think there is a possibility. If indeed the rumors with Lebron will go to Warriors and deal with reconstruction of KD's contract. KD might end up in Rockets uniform. But if Lebron will come to Houston, then Rockets needs to buyout Anderson's remaining contract and sign Lebron, CP3, Ariza and Mbah A Moute (minimum) with an offer sheet.

    1 Surefire actual Championship >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5 potential championships (dynasty).

    In other words, I’m ready to win the title THIS year..in the NOW. If it means worst case the Rockets become a lottery team next season after winning the title this year.......SO BE IT...I’d be fine with that prospect.

    Winning without Lebron > winning with Lebron.

    I dont see us winning the championship with Ryno still on the team unless we trade him or he becomes into Hawkeye and his shooting is spot on. I said Hawkeye bc he's a sidekick next to everyone else

    I'll take LeBron but I don't want him:

    I want US to win and prove everyone wrong. Also I am not convinced this it would work with THREE ball dominant guys -- then again I think he said he wants to do more off ball stuff late in his career.
