    Warriors bring in LeBron and have to trade Draymond, Klay & Iggy

    OR

    Smoke screen and LeBron signs with Houston

    Either way the Rockets win. Break up the Warriors ancillary pieces which makes the Warriors a
    notch above the rest. Rocket win.

    Accept the Rockets can get him without shredding the roster. They can keep their rotation pieces and get Lebron - Anderson + $8m takes care of the salary requirements. Ariza , Capela , CP3 and Luc are all free agents who wouldn't be part of a trade.

    Should Lebron opt in to make a traade possible the Rockets have to send out ~$28m in salary to bring back his $35m (125%+100k) that's Ryno's $20m plus another $8m.

    no matter what happen this summer, we should find a way to at least keeping Luc and EG/capela. CP3, LBJ, Harden, EG/capela, Luc, then we can sign some ring chasers for cheap: DJ, korver, redick etc..

    Who's expendable if Lebron comes ?

    EG $13m Do you really need him with Harden , CP3 & Lebron as ball handlers ?

    Tucker $7.7 Luxury to have him , Ariza , Luc and Lebron ..... expendable.

    T.Williams $1.5 , Onuaku $1.4 Filler.


    You have options.

    Anderson + EG
    Anderson + Tucker + one of TW or Onuaku


    Still leaves you with

    CP3/EG**
    Harden/Green
    Ariza/Luc
    Lebron/Tucker**
    Capela / Nene

    And you still have one of Tucker or EG. Basically one hole to fill either at the 4 or a guard.

    And you aren't hard capped.

    Again... I said depth would be depleted. Go back to the beginning. #DEPTH

    Remember depth? Quit wasting my time. Read first. Read again. Reading makes clutchfans greater than typing hot responses does.

    Don't be such a pretentious ass ...acting as if people are stupid if you disagree with them.

    How is giving up One of Tucker or EG along with Anderson depleting the teams depth when you are bringing in Lebron , still have Ariza and Luc - At worst you are looking for ONE Backup at either a combo guard or PF.
