    Tracy comes off the books the same year that everyone will be going after LeBron.
    I say with Yao, the Toyota Center, and the City, we have a fair shot.
    As Les says 'you dont get a chance to have a Super Star that often'
    Why not tread water for another season and make a bold move for LeBron?
    I know they arent a top contender, but the cast we have is not that bad.
    in 2010, Yao would most likely be in his prime.

    Do you think we have a real legit shot at LeBron? Doubtful..Its NY or CLE for him.

    ibtl.. LBJ will either stay in Cleveland or go play with a friend (doubtful) or go to a BIG market (NY) and make cash. Non of those have anything to do with HOU.

    ...Lebron wants to play in NYC if it ain't Cleveland.

    I'm sorry we don't have much a shot at getting him.

    whats the difference between NYC money and Chinese money???
    Id say LBJ would be foolish to overlook playing with Yao.
    Is there any market BIGGER than China???

    I said it once and I will say it again. Anyone who plans for the 2k10 marathon is an idiot.

    Yao needs to make a pitch to Lebron like he did with Deke.

    Also, if we win a championship and resign Ron Artest I think Lebron will want to come here.

    We might be able to land Wade a lil easier.

    Lebron seems destined to stay in CLE or move to NJ.

    If we win a championship we won't need Lebron James.

    No Chance, simply because of salary. Knicks are the only team capable of baiting LeBron in. Only reason why Knicks have a chance at baiting him in is because they are capable of signing 2 players max contracts, LeBron obviously one of them and another superstar, could be Dwyane Wade. Wade did say that's not impossible.

    In my opinion, LeBron probably will go to NY. He just seems selfish enough for money to do something like that.

    why would lebron leave the cavs? they can pay him more and it's not like he is going to get more advertising deals by going to a crappy NYC team. btw last time i checked the cavs were 40-11 and only 2 games behind boston.

    We have a better shot at D.Wade. I really wouldn't mind either of them though... Who wouldn't?

    Is Durant a free agent in 2010?

    If so, that's who I want in Houston!!

    I don't see us getting Bron or Wade. I think both of them will stay put.

    The only guy I could see us having a chance at is Bosh. Of course a lot of teams will also be competing with us for him.
