    Seriously?, they will easily make the playoffs Lebron has been in the finals for what 7-8 years straight. Every team Lebron is on is competing for a title. Yes do I think warriors and Rockets would knock them out, yeah but they would still compete for a ring and have a chance. Plus LA most likely pulls the trigger at some point for another big name but their core isn’t bad. An improved Lonzo, Ingram and kuzma could be hopeful. Although I’m losing hope on Ingram

    Also in b4 that he was in the east blah blah, he’s the best basketball player in the world he will bring them close

    Haha. Your info my ass.
    Love the educated guessing. Melo definitely would prefer the city of LA over the city of Houston to live in. Less pressure on him considering we’ve already seen what our team has done so any steps back may end up on him to the media and public. More chance for him to get playing time/starting.

    Not that we’re definitely out but if I was going over his reasoning I would say LA has the edge. But that’s based on my reasoning and I don’t know him or have any inside knowledge. Just like you have ZERO info but are hoping that if you’re right people will think you’re somehow connected. I won’t. Pretty sure we all won’t.

    Instead of "one of" it needs to say "the." Sounds to me this guy is trying to cover his azz.

    Yah, dont want that kind of attention, thank you for offering though. Just passing it along. Thought id give some money to charity in the meantime. For the record, i want melo in Houston. I think he's a great fit. All i know if that my wife has a connection to LaLa, and LaLa has made it well known this move is her choice. Melo hasnt exactly been the best husband over the past couple years. He is in makeup mode. Do with it what you will. Just wanted to pass it along.

    There's just more of a role for him here compared to how he fits in LA. We've been planning to add him for a year now. CP3 is his main man, not LeBron. I don't see the Lakers as the fav if we pursue.

    Haha.

    Told you guys.

    It will be hard for him to give up LA Lifestyle!!!

    Looks like we are going to dodge the third Melo bullet!

    Basketball gods must really like Morey!

    PS. Let's hope this is true and happens!

    What are we dodging? Its a cheap contract. All you do is complain about what we are doing in FA. Not paying attention to the fact the rockets have no money. We cant add an impact FA. This is the perfect gamble.

    Let me guess. You were probably one of those that said we gave up too much for paul

    I don’t mind Melos bullet, I wish we could have dodged Rhyno’s atomic bomb.

    To say Lakers are already the pick is a reach.

    Lebron was in the East and he only ended as the fourth seed. He’s known to loaf and not play as hard in regular season to save energy for playoffs. He was terrible on defense last year. Eventhough they made the finals did really compete for a title the last two years? Winning 1 game in 8 tries is hardly competing.

    I for one don’t see how that team fits. I think they will have a lot of issues in the locker room with all those alpha personalities. Lebron wanted to play with smarter players and he got Lance and Javale.. lol. They have no shooters. Defensively they should be fine but how do they score? Teams are just gonna pack the paint and dare Rondo, Javale, lance, Lonzo, to shoot threes.

    I think right now Rockets, Warriors, Thunder, Jazz, blazers, pelicans, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Spurs are all better than them, so yes they will need to compete for a playoff spot in the West.

    Heck, I can see the Mavs and Suns and Grizzles being better than them.

    Playing an Eastern conference heavy schedule he only got 50 wins. That won’t cut it in the West.


    And I actually think Lebron is the best player of all time. But I don’t see how he has any help in LA. I’m still confused as to why he went there. He pretty much just wasted 1 year of his career this year in LA.
