    Saying Rockets have their eyes on a Rondo trade (which is unlikely) or signing Melo.

    This can happen by trading Lin and Asik to teams under the cap or more creative ways.

    Rockets will have their eyes on Dirk, Bosh and even Lebron

    Chuck: "Get Lebron and win a championship. So analytical."

    I'm down for LeBron, but I highly doubt he leaves or takes a massive paycut to play here.

    LeBron is not going to play in the west. Gotta be like Jordan, who also played in the easier East.

    Back in Jordan's day the East was actually the stronger conference....

    So...

    Update: Rockets want best players on team. Will give up worse players to acquire better players.

    I like this strategy

    Nah. DEFINITELY not in 96-98. and probably not in 91-93 either.


    Blazers, Sonics, Rockets, Jazz, Spurs were consistently good. Lakers were in there too.

    Which big three will have a better chance of winning multiple titles in the next 3-5 years..

    LeBron James
    Dwyane Wade
    Chris Bosh

    Or

    LeBron James
    James Harden
    Dwight Howard

    Don't think LBJ would be keen to joining Harden and Howard for easy titles. No chance for him to pass Russell on number of rings, so his legacy may be winning titles by himself as the lone superstar in places like NYK or Cavs. Rondo may be possible for Lin/Parsons and picks.

    Nothing earth-shattering, here's the segment though:

    No it wasnt. It was top heavy like it is now and not consistent like the West.

    They were pretty even around that period. West has been visibly stronger than the east for over a decade now. It's just its becoming a joke in the past 2 years.

    Where did all these Lebron talks come from all of sudden? You might as well include Aldridge here too lol.

    Wrong place for this I know, but i got to let the cat out of the bag. Am I the only one that sees Serena Williams head when looking at Dwight's face? Sometimes they can looking freakishly similar, like when I watched that video.
