    Because that would instantly make the Rockets #1 in the west.

    I don't think Rockets fans should want Lebron

    We could get LeBron with an opt and trade or sign and trade next year. We'd have to send out our entire bench but we could do it if melo and bron took paycuts

    Why? I've discussed this ad nasuem and I understand we would want him because he's an all-time great player, but otherwise it's a soul-sacrificing move

    Lebron can literally take the worst team into playoff. If we get him without sacrificing too much we beat warriors in terms of talent immediately. Just need a smart coach to make it all work

    The only reason any of this is even a conversation is because KD joined the Warriors

    "I don't think Rockets fans should want to win"

    I can't even begin to comprehend this stupidity.

    You're gonna follow with saying he's an all-time great player..and I'm gonna follow by saying so are the warriors but I wouldn't trade our roster for theirs. I wouldn't have wanted Jordan to join Hakeem. Sue me

    And I understand. I was just kinda irked he called me stupid for that. I think it's just a matter of preference...ya know, I probably would've taken Kobe in his prime. I just don't care for Lebron

    I've also had a few to drink haha. But overall, Lebron would help us win a championship. I can see that clearly. I also think Bird and Magic could've been great together..I think jordan and Hakeem could've been great together. Personally, I wanna be the team that beats Lebron rather than join forces. Same with the Warriors. I'm fine with adding Paul and Melo because their franchises have underachieved thus far, haven't made it to the finals. Let's take them there

    I agree that Lebrons best bet is to sign a 1+1 and I fully expect him to do just that.

    With that said from a basketball standpoint houston is his best bet.

    Harden is 27 and his game mimics Lebrons on the offensive end. Lebron can literally coast in the regular season and be gaurenteed a 55-60 win season while him and cp3 are fresh going into the postseason.

    I'll give the Spurs with Kawi Leonard a distant 2nd because one the don't currently have 2 top 10 player like the rockets and two while Leonard is certainly a MVP caliber guy he's cbs single handily run and offense at elite level through him.

    Rockets could theoretically get Lebron for Ryno and Ariza while
    Keeping everyone else assuming they don't get melo.

    Cp3
    Harden
    Tucker
    Lebron
    Capela
    Luc
    Black
    Nene
    Gordon

    That's a very very talented and versatile offensive and defensive team and easily imo the most talented and stacked team Lebron has ever played on.

    Or Cavs can move Lebron first so they don't lose Kyrie. Knicks may not be able to trade Melo to anyone if they keep dragging their heels for more.

    I'd welcome Jordan any day of the week. Get real...yea it's odd that great players are joining to make super teams but if you're one of the fan of a super team u may as well enjoy it. Do you think Warriors fans are upset? Of course not.
