You are all wasting your time if you are waiting on Lebron to make a decision. Lebron will NOT decide until after Houston's time has run out on Parsons. He is only making sure that another power team is not formed in the West. This is ALL about making sure Houston doesn't get a Big 3.5 or better. If Lebron chooses Cleveland right now and then they go after Love, Melo could change his mind and come to Houston, knowing that the Knicks can't compete with them. If Lebron chooses Miami right now, Houston could still chase Love hoping to offer everything without Parsons and then resign Parsons to form a Big 3.5. Lebron is simply keeping his competition down by locking everyone up because he can still do whatever he wants after other teams hands are forced such as ours. Plus, he still wins if Bosh comes to Houston, then he takes Melo to Miami and rebuilds around that possibly. While I respect his decisions from a business perspective, as a Rockets fan, I CAN'T STAND HIS SORRY AZZ!
Hmm... Cole/Napier Wade Deng/Granger McRoberts/Haslem Bosh/ or Beverley/Nelson Harden/Daniels/Johnson Parsons/Garcia Bosh/Jones Howard Tough choice...
As was I. I pictured some literal shell game with Morey hiding under an oversize coconut shell that whirred around with two others and Cuban picking the wrong shell for 3 or 4 hours as Morey hid in a secret compartment in one of the shells, giggling quietly, but maniacally.
LOL yeah Lebron is willing to take all that backlash just to stop a first-round exit team from resigning their 3rd option player.
Your point makes sense, but i honestly don't think he's worried about houston. Harden can't play D and dwight howard i think is the only real threat to lebron. He can get his way all day on harden or parsons and he knows that. He should be worried about dallas building a powerhouse and possibly giving him a flashback of his loss in the finals like what happened a few years ago. If i was lebron i would be more worried about Dallas, San Antonio again/OKC/LAC all of those teams. The west is so stacked it'll literally be the survival of the fittest next playoffs. We don't have that much of a built team even with bosh..to automatically assume we're going to cruise our way to the finals.

What I really hope happens...... 1) Lebron forces Bosh out of Miami 2) Melo signs with Miami 3) Bosh signs with Houston 4) We destroy them in the finals
This is also a big part of my issue. Dwight would have been getting crucified by now yet with LeDouche, everyone just sucks it up.
If you can't comprehend how much better the Rockets would be with Bosh playing PF, I really don't know what to say to you....except, we won 54 games last season without Bosh.
