    If we get Lebron, do we have to let go of Splash Gordon?

    Depends on what CP3 and Lebron sign for.

    Well when you put it in a frame like who do you want at PF LBJ or White Ryno...that’s a no brainer. If it was as simple as replacing Ryno for LBJ then jump on that quicker then Verlander did to Kate Upton upon the invite...

    I’m all over Ariza and Ryno for LBJ

    Not that easy of a decision as you make it out to be..

    Are you ready to lose all that spacing?

    If we do get LBJ, it would be hilarious if we run a 3 PG system with CP3, Harden, and LBJ.

    I am more interested in defense.

    Imagine on ball defense of LBJ + CP + Luc.

    A death blow would be 27, 28 yr old Lebron.

    33 year old Lebron would be a little more than this. Jk.

    D-Wade goes where LeBron goes. But lately pundits are saying Wade is playing more like the small forward spot.

    Favors is a sneaky Capela replacement. Would we retain his bird rights? #CodmanSignal

    I think Joe Johnson goes to the Celtics if he gets bought out. He won't get minutes with the Rockets. He's pretty much guaranteed minutes with the Celtics with Smart out and them having a thinner bench. Plus it's the East which almost guarantees a very good shot at the Finals.

    On the LBJ running the team thing...

    Does he do it because he wants to do it or because he feels he has to do it given the Cavs front office? I suspect it is the latter.

    I think the Rockets could sell him on just playing basketball and being coached by Dan Tony instead of using up energy trying to play Coach and GM. The Rockets are a strong organization and have a really good GM. No more worries on that front. Just play ball big fella! Oh, and here are some advanced stats that will help you maintain a high level of play longer.

    Lebron is #317 in defensive rating....read my post about his defense. My eyes aren’t lying to me.

    Luc is number 9 Ego 27 CP3 52 Harden 56 Capela 97

    Once again Those chase down blocks fool everyone...

    Ryan Anderson is arguably the top 5 spacing guy of all time.

    Like I said, not an easy decision.

    What seems to be fooling you are foolish defensive ratings on individual players that are a function of the teams defense. If you actually believe that LeBron is anywhere close to being the 317th best defender in the Association then you need your head examined.....if you actually have one.

    Lebron is STILL one of the top ten best defenders in the Association.

    Sir- I will kindly disagree with you. You are just like the rest, yes 10 years ago top 10. You obviously haven’t watched his games over the last 2 years. Or like most you only watch nationally televised games or highlights. I follow 10 teams a year and watch every game from those teams. I build and analyze data from games and build cube matrix’s.

    I really hope you don’t want me to pull out straight facts vs. comments like. “He’s easily top 10”.

    Not to mention I have over 60 mins of video proving he is a terrible defender.

    Go read the 94feetreport on this very topic posted November 2017

    How do YOU quantify allowed opponents points in the paint? How do YOU quantify allowing opponents 2nd chance points?

    There is a reason IT said Cleveland sucks a defense. Players follow their stars play. Insert CP3.

    How are we going to find him Mins?

    More importantly how are we going to find him mins in the playoffs when rotations gets tighter. Doubt he comes based on limited to no playing time.

    Someone please explain.
