I'm not quite sure the hopes are "dead" necessarily, but they'd be at...what...5-10%? Not great.... Rockets would still return a 65 win team (assuming this offseason goes as we expect). That at least gives us a shot this year. But yes, the competition would be much more difficult with Lebron in the West, and the Warriors will still be the Warriors. It would certainly be a blow to the Rockets. Chris Paul's contract would immediately be an issue.
Could easily be a game of telephone, but it is interesting that several people within the past hour or so have mentioned this (including @oelman44's post above).
What’s funny? I never said give up Anderson for DeRozan, you did, so that makes your statement stupid. All I said was DeRozan could be an option if neither of those 3 make it to HOU. And since you want to laugh about Ryno for DeRozan than I’ll give you a hypothetical that includes Ryno. You give up Ryno to any taker and sweeten it up by giving away Clint and Gordon.
Lebron is already making moves within the school also. The headmaster resigned 13 hours ago. Lebron will now pick his/her successor.
