    If LBJ is actually considering this then I DO NOT want him on the Rockets.

    Let's see if it's true.

    If lebron wants to go the warriors they could deal klay, Livingston and a minimum salary and take back lebron without issue.

    How cool would it be if he told them to prepare for him and GSW made moves, and then he backed out and came to Houston at the last second.

    Those two players will make just over 27 mil combined next season. I don't think that gets them to LeBron's 35 mil. Wouldn't they have to throw in another player(who makes more than minimum salary)? And again, LeBron could take a paycut or other Warriors players like Durant could do likewise.

    I still go back to the whole idea that this would make a mockery of the NBA and LeBron and Durant would be directly blamed for it.

    Throw in the center jones who makes basically the minimum and the deal works.

    They could then have the tax payer mle and minimum contracts to pursue some depth guys like Jameer Nelson and others.

    Point being, if lebron wants it they can make it happen easily and be better for it.

    The luxury tax implications would be big long term but they don’t seem to care

    Agree with @justtxyank. These are the very same exact things we said about Durant/Golden State. I'm not gonna dismiss this so easily.

    I don't think he's going to Golden State but again, we said the same thing about Durant.

    I'm done watching the NBA.
    It's not happening. This is click bait.
    Durant ain't going to the team that just eliminated him.
    Durant ain't going to the Champs. He's more competitive than that.
    This is gonna ruin Durant's [LeBron's] legacy.
    So on and so forth...

    And for Chris Haynes, he's in Golden State now but he came from Cleveland. He worked in Cleveland for a year or two.

    I don't disagree with that. If LeBron wants to be a Warrior next season, he will be a Warrior. But I'm done with the NBA for a very long time if that happens. And I would imagine I'm not alone in that sentiment. Seriously, what would be the point of watching any games when the eventual champion is a foregone conclusion?

    Yeah that, or the Warriors could just keep the team as constructed and continue to massacre playoff opponents until K.D. retires to start a rock band

    Click bait. He might listen to the Warriors, but he ain't signing.

    He's signing with Houston and join his pal, CP3.

    That's the only story. Houston.
