Chris Haynes: “I’ve been told Houston is not a realistic option for LeBron”

Talent to develop ??? Screw that , Lebron ain’t got time for that he’s all business and we all know it’s all about the rings now.

 

You are exactly right.

Although I would take Sixers and Cavs out of the equation.

Cavs situation is Cap hell. They got a life line this past trade deadline as the Lakers bailed them out. Not sure
any team will help them this summer. Plus An Gilbert wants to sell the team. Plus LeBron is disgusted with Dan
Gilbert for donating about 500 thousand to the Trump campaign. Plus LeBrons wife wants out of Cleveland.
Plus the players around don’t him in Cleveland are trash.

Windhorst and Broussard were both completely wrong prior to LeBron “Decision” the first exit from Cleveland.

Sixers uncertainty with Fultz shooting and free throw and Ben Simmons shooting and free throws. JJ Redick
is probably gone.

Rockets have to give CP3 the max ($/yrs) or he may bolt. No trade clause of course or he may bolt. Where?
Well his friend LeBron may be forming a super team with Lakers....with Paul George. They will need a Point Guard.
Ariza is reportedly thinking about giving the Warriors a discount. Maybe the Lakers as well? Rockets may not
have the same talent around to the appeal of LeBron. I can see Ariza, JJ Redick, Rondo being interested in playing
for the Lakers.

When LeBron was asked ihe would vote for Harden as MVP? LeBron wouldn’t give Harden any form of a bone.
Instead he said he would vote for himself. That diva alpha dog won’t get along with Harden. Book it.

 

It's not like Harden isn't a diva, most superstars are.

Some to more extent and some to lesser.

 

Guess he don't want a ring. Only other realistic option would maybe be Boston if he wants to win. Idk how that would work though cause I don't see them wanting to part with any of their guys.

 

Ainge would ship Kyrie and pieces to Cleveland so fast for LeBron it wouldn't even be funny. A starting lineup of Horford, LeBron, Hayward, Tatum and Rozier would easily beat the Warriors.

 

For me is is Simple
LeBron - Do you want GOAT STATUS OR NOT?
I'm talking UNEQUIVICAL GOAT STATUS

Come to Houston and let's get this Three-Peat started
or
Be That Guy that 'might' be the GOAT except MJ . . .and Maybe KOBE

A Three Peat will give him 6 rings . . . matching Jordan .. . . .and a better overall playoff record
having never been swept out in the 1st round

Rocket River

 

That would be hilarious lol. Idk if they'd easily beat them, but I could see it.

 

Maybe not easily. Sorry got too hyped thinking about lineup lol. But I wouldn't put it past Ainge to do something like that.

 

During the middle of The Finals, Tim Kawakami asked several prominent NBA reporters about the pending free agent decision of LeBron James this July.

"I think there's been an expectation going back to last summer that he was obviously seriously going to look elsewhere, but you remember, Cleveland can still pay him the most and if he wants to do that five-year, $200 million supermax deal, if he wants to do that to take him into his late thirties, it's the only place he can do that," said Adrian Wojnarowski. "I just think right now for him there's not an obvious choice.

"The Lakers are intriguing and if he can get Paul George to partner up with him, or go there this year and chase another star next year or via trade. The Lakers could be very, very good, but I don't think there's anybody who thinks they're a better team than the Warriors, or that they would even be a better team than Houston.

"I just think, in the end, what's important to him. Is it his legacy in Cleveland? Is it making the most here? Staying in the East?

"One GM of one of the better teams in the West said, 'you know, Boston, there was a time you just stay in the East and you have a much easier path to the Finals.' Will that necessarily be true with Boston or Philadelphia? There's not a young team like that in the West...

"I'm not sure LeBron knows what's going to do with this one."

Can’t really crap in Haynes for this take. Looking at it objectively (take the homer glasses off), it’s hard to see a likely scenario in which they acquire LBJ. Opt in and trade is a long short considering what it would take and the time hack that Morey and company would be working under.

 

Lol poor Woj has been trying to get into LeBron's inner circle for a while now. Might be the only player in the league who doesn't get any info from.

 

I’m gonna be honest... this sounds more like Chris Haynes making **** up and giving his own personal opinions than any kind of legitimate information.

 

This is starting to remind of the Durant free agency year where people on this board were convinced he was coming here but all of the national media people kept saying something different. You had people like holic creating elaborate theories about Durant headfaking the whole world with the intention to surprise everyone by signing in houston.

Woj, Hanes and Windhorst all seem to dismiss the idea of him going to Houston.

 

lol at people just dismissing Haynes as a Warriors hack...dude is legit and has proven that, stop it...

 

But then you got guys like Jared Dudley and Chris Bosh who actually play the game saying Houston so who the hell really knows????

 

But they aren't actually reporters, they are just players speculating. Jalen Rose said Durant to Houston.

 

It's too risky for LeBron to join the Rockets. His stats would go down and people would be like "LeBron has declined" and if he would get owned by Durant again having better team it would hurt his legacy alot. It's better if he stays with Cavs, pads stats like this year and finishes no. 1 all time scorer.

 

He might have been right but the way our season played out having a 41-41 record probably had more to do with that not happening IMO.

 

Karma! I like it! (but would rather see him in Houston)

it seems like CP3 is the key to whether Houston makes the best choice for LeBron.

This is lacking very key information. Been told by ... who? And...why not? By who could be some dude he met at a bar.

 

Let’s just re-sign Cp3 and sign Dmo and call it a day
