    He and LeBron both do this, which is what makes me believe that it can be learned.

    Saw a report today Sixers brass expect heavy push for bringing in LeBron James this summer.

    Chris Paul is bound to be telling LeBron how much fun he would have in the D’Antoni system.

    Outside L.A. I believe Houston has the best chance of recruiting LeBron.

    New Banana boat crew.....CP3/Harden/Ariza & LeBron (LeBron has been trying to get Ariza with the Cavs for yrs)

    LBJ needs to change his style of play if he joins the Rockets. He can't ball-stop or be the one bringing up the ball or dominate the ball. Maybe he wouldn't mind letting CP or Harden take care of the ball, but LBJ's stats will inevitably take a fall.

    That said, we definitely would be the favorites for the chip if it happens. I just have serious doubts that LBJ would be okay with changing his game or having slightly lowered stats.

    Pump the brakes my man, the guy has been descent and playing well but I don't know about having great season, we said the same about EG when the season started but he has been averaging like 11 PPG for the past 7 games or so.

    76% won't cut it? If he shoots 50% overall he'd be shooting way way way better than Curry's unanimous MVP season. Just some perspective.

    LeBron can tell you if he wants 2 assists or 2 rings.

    Players that can elevate the play of others is more valuable than guys who try to do everything on his own.

    Can't see LeBron coming here. He'll wanna stay in the East. He basically is a lock for at least the Conference Finals every year over there. In the West, he'd have to deal with the Warriors and Spurs and several up-and-coming teams that could be really good a year from now. Sure, the Rockets with him, Harden, and CP3 would be heavily favored, but not like he would be in the East.

    Remember when people were saying we paid overs in the trade? you know bev, dekker and trez are to much for a future HOF'r and a top 3 playmaker in the nba along with being a top 6 or 8 player. Oh such good times

    Reports are his wife wants to move to their home in L.A. more or less full-time in 2018. This is one reason
    why Kyrie bailed on Cleveland when he did. GM Griffin bailed on Cleveland when he did. In the game of
    musical chairs; no one wants to be with a chair when the music stops (in this case).

    Paul George was sent texts by teammates of LeBron saying avoid coming to Cavs (for unknown reasons; which
    I think are known within the inner circles). If Cleveland wins the championship he stays. If not, word to the wise.

    @s3ts
    People also said CP3 wouldn’t change to play next to Harden. LeBron is getting older and rests every December.
    With CP3 and Harden he wouldn’t have to do so much. As CP3 said....3-point shooters every where, Center
    that rolls to the basket hard. He loves it!! It’s championship ready. LeBron would love it too!!

    Wow this is awesome thanks! These guys are god distributors, as a former ball player myself I don't think ppl understand how hard it is to make a pass where the receiving player doesn't have to lineup the laces, that's skills you almost can't teach. It's no wonder Andersons shooting percentage is significantly higher when receiving a pass from Paul vs receiving one from Harden.

    Exactly why now we see that Ryan Anderson was more valuable then what we gave him credit for. We just needed CP3 to help bring it out.

    Heck, I'd watch it. Think they have a good recipe for soup? A team meme after a win could be, "No soup for you!"
