    Lebron will end up in Houston. Morey is about to do his thing.

    Are you sure? They have plenty of assets, excellent players galore and would be contenders with him. They just need to ship Kyrie somewhere for assets and use those to get Lebron, and use more assets to get other stars as needed. Lebron would stay east and guarantee a finals berth while working with a good coach and FO, Hayward, Horford, Tatum and Brown. That’s a great defensive team. I’m concerned about them and LA which might get two max slots and then trade for the third star.

    LeBron, Harden and CP3. Three future hall of fame players who have at least one thing in common: hatred for the Worriers.

    That is definitely a good reason for banding together for the common good.

    Payback will be a b**** for those bay area boys.

    Seems like the sh** that would be posted in the random trade threads.

    Indeed.

    I hope to Gawd that LeBron does not miss this opportunity to add to his legacy.

    Come and join the Houston Rockets in their attempt to topple the evil (and VERY lucky) empire.

    good post. He could stay there in cleveland but who can they add?

    It would seem to beat the warriors the list is short. Houston, boston, or a 2 star max team deal like LA.

    Any other team have 2 max salary like LA?

    I also wouldnt sleep on what happens with san antonio and leonard

    Just to be clear, lebron doesn’t hate the warriors. He is in awe of them. He’s very good friends with Durant and he can’t get over how smart that team is. He goes on and on like a lover talking about his lovers body. Honestly believe he would go there in a heartbeat if not for legacy concerns

    Nobody really has any clue what is going on right now.

    I don't buy Boston at all. The one thing that does concern me is the Lakers. LeBron is all about legacy, and "creating" a new super team in LA by going there and trying to recruit CP3 may look better than joining a 65 win Rockets team that nearly beat the Warriors without him.

    Ultimately, I do think he is coming here. Our front office has absolutely proven that it is second to none, and playing next to James Harden will allow him to coast through the regular season. The team is old, but Harden still has 4-5 prime years left. As long as you have the stars, the pieces around them are easy to put together for a wizard like Morey.

    Nah that’s Bron being polite. You can tell he borderline despises Curry. He never talked **** to any of the Spurs players during his Heat years.

    Good point actually, all three of them have history against the Warriors, unlike George, Boogie (players that Lebron can join)...

    Boston isn’t angling for LeBron. They made it to the 7th game of the Eastern conference finals without their two star players and they have a potential star in th making with Tatum. Once Hayward and Irving return next year they will be the favorites win the Eastern conference and challange GS for the title. They will likely resign Smart to go along with Irving, Hayward, Horford, Tatum, and J Brown. No way in hell Ainge guts this team for LeBron.

    Boston will also fail unless they get rid of Kyrie.

    People keep mentioning the Lakers. But I highly doubt he would want be on Kobe's former team.

    Honestly, it says something that Boston Mannix would push Houston....even over his own Boston backyard.

    Hat tip to you sir!
