    That means he's nervous.... Remember everyone saying Dwight wouldn't play with James because he was selfish.

    I'm not saying the Rockets with Lebron can't beat the Spurs, although whatever we did in the regular season against them last year means nothing.

    What i'm more importantly saying is that I don't think it is wise for the Rockets to try to play LBJ out of position as a starting PF. IMHO

    exactly right...people who aren't fans are freaked out by the idea that the rockets could somehow acquire lebron to play with harden and howard.

    i'd be in denial big time if this were dallas in this position.

    Lebron wouldn't visit if he wasn't interested.

    Miami just might get a chance to see what the Cavs fans went through.

    Who was the ESPN LA guy last year that was guaranteeing people via Twitter that D12 would resign with LAL and not Houston?

    Don't forget the guy that had the 'scoop' about Dwight signing with Dallas.

    Let me just say this. Every time I see that "J.R." is the last post in this thread "Agent to Heat: LeBron James opting out" my heart skips a beat, waiting to hear news reports that LBJ actually wants to visit teams to get pitches.

    This little b**** got fired after his horrible reporting.
    I trolled the **** out of him when Dwight signed with Houston, so did a bunch of his followers. Changed his twitter name, got canned, it was hilarious.

    If nothing else, it would be nice to know that Morey got a chance to pitch the Rockets long term strategy to Lebron.

    Man what a possible quandry it would be if Minny agreed with us tonight on a for sure trade for Kevin Love.

    Is a "Love" in the hand worth a possible "Lebron" in the bush?

    That's a toughie.

    Wade and bosh opting out but signing w heat long term does not address the great likelihood that they are in decline. There won't be enough talent there to win more rings. Maybe they squeeze out one more title, but it's not a dynasty anymore.

    If Lebron is serious about winning multiple titles, he needs a better No 2 and 3.
