    Yep, just an opinion. I personally think the rockets have a really good shot.

    Don't really understand why people keep bringing up the East as a great destination since it's a cake walk for LeBron and a guarantee to make it to the Finals.

    What's the point if you lose every year to the Warriors? I'm pretty sure LeBron is not celebrating right now because he won the east again.

    Boston with Lebron would beat the Warriors.
    Houston with Lebron would beat the Warriors and Boston
    LA with Lebron would have to beat the Rockets, Warriors, and Boston. Why would he do that to himself?

    None of those are guaranteed, just look at OKC.

    Hell, Houston is not a guarantee if he joins. But they have the blue print on how to beat the Warriors and a track record (regular season and playoffs) to be the best team to have a chance on beating them with LeBron added.

    This the best lakers take I have seen. This is why they really are a threat. The one think I would nitpick is I don't think ANYONE is that fond of lonzo ball. I think he sucks honestly.

    Yeah it really is.

    A team of

    CP3
    Harden
    Lebron
    Capela
    Tucker/Ariza

    absolutely rolls the rest of the league and does to the Warriors what the Warriors did to the Cavs.

    If there is one word to describe PG this year, it would have to be be underwhelming. In fact, PG looked downright average against a good defensive team in Utah.

    Absent a true third superstar (Imo PG is not one), LeBron and PG should together means very little to the Worriers chances for a 4th title.

    I'm not advocating LeBron going to GSW. Just saying the road is much more daunting if he doesn't choose either us or them in the west.

    Lebron has made it to the finals everytime since 2011. It's almost a guarantee rox win with Lebron. You're going to compare OKC to a lebron led rockets team? lol

    Last I checked Lebron did pretty good next to a ball dominated guard in Irving. So how wouldn’t Paul and harden not work they say!!

    I just want this over already

    I don't know. This Lebron stuff is getting old. I just don't see the math and how we could possibly make it work. I know Morey is a wizard, but pulling cap space out of thin air is pretty unlikely.

    No wonder its getting old for you, because you don't understand the concept of a S&T. You don't have to sign LeBron outright.

    I for one am very happy to hear that our star players are busy recruiting LeBron while the LAL stars are busy making diss tracks of each other...

    Thats not how this works. dear lord cmon man.

    Opt in and trade. Exit salary has to be within 125 percent of incoming salary.

    ugh facepalm
