Would you be willing to wait for a chance at Lebron?

    This article mentions the Rockets having a chance at Dwight Howard but nothing about us having a chance with Lebron if he opts out of his contract the summer after next. I am assuming it is because we are expected not to have the cap space by then plus maybe his desire to play in a more appealing city.

    If we are going to have enough cap space for a max free agent this summer and end up not getting someone worth it such as Dwight Howard. Would it be something that the Rockets management is thinking to hold onto that flexibility for a chance even though it may be small to get Lebron the next summer?


    Even if it's a pipedream of a chance I would be willing to hold out because I am enjoying watching the current team alot.

    I would rather the Rockets win a championship without Lebron.

    No chance the Rockets get him. Well maybe if Asik and Lin become near all star caliber players by 2014 and Harden keeps improving.

    If it would get us the trophy, id be all for it no matter who it is. Fact is: you have a chance to get Lebron James, you do not hesitate. If you say otherwise, you are a troll

    You have a chance but that chance is pretty slim. He's not leaving Miami.

    If I were LeBron, I'd say... "I will join the Cleveland Cavaliers if Dan Gilbert is no longer the owner after the way he treated me when I left."

    Fans and ESPN would go crazzzzyyy. It'll be like "The Decision" all over again!

    If he leaves the Heat, it will be to go back to Cleveland. Why would he go anywhere else? It will be one of those two teams.

    I'd do it, if we only get Juwan Howard.

    So even if that chance is like 0.1%, you still go for it? Why don't you go to casino every day because you know you also "have a chance" to win the lottery every day?

    Why would people think Lebron would leave to join other stars? Why couldn't Lebron get other stars to join him in Miami?

    Lebron isn't leaving Miami. It's just all speculation so people have something to write and talk about.

    Or we can sign Dwight and pawn him off with Parsons and fillers for LeBron if the chance ever arises.
