James doesn't want to be a Rocket anymore. Did you see game 6? That went above and beyond when Tmac decided not to be a basketball player anymore.
Then get a Batman. Build a championship roster, because contrary to what many believe, one guy isn't going to carry you to a title.
If James is Batman, then this seems like a perfect way to describe his regular and post seasons, respectively: (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Even if we get the Robin to our Batman, we'll still have to go through the entire Avengers squad in Oakland. Batman and Robin won't be enough.
That's considered North Houston.. for example, if people say they live in woodlands they still live in Houston.
Butler himself has said he's not from Houston; he's from Tomball. So while you might consider that "North Houston" he doesn't. (FTR I don't consider that "North Houston" either. It's north of Houston, but that's a different thing.) And The Woodlands is definitely not Houston.
Has to be Paul George if following the classic Bulls model. Offer everything to Indy even if it decimates roster, and then build around those two.
Between this summer and the next one there are really a lot of good players on the move, either as free agents or via trade Spoiler: to name "few" which i remember now George Hayward Paul Millsap Griffin Lowry Holiday Ibaka Gallo Westbrook Thomas Aldridge Favors Cousins Lopez ...and even if i don't think we're a top destination at this point, it's not like there're a lot better than us...in fact aside for Boston, San Antonio i don't see any so, i think somehow we will be able to get one or two of those if we want, and even if some of them are risky (like Cousins, Griffin...), we're at a point where we should probably take a risk if there's no other option available.
Not saying it's true because I'm no insider, and even insiders are unreliable because situations are ever-changing, but if Harden wanted out, no way I'd take less than the #1 or maybe the #2. Not that Les would allow us to step back anyway. And wouldn't Harden lose out on some beaucoup bucks in a trade after making All-NBA First Team or whatever you call it?
It's not Houston. Hell, I don't consider anything outside of the 610 loop to be Houston. But it is unquestionably part of "The Greater Houston Area" which is larger than the state of New Jersey at over 10,000 square miles.
