    Don't see the Miami thing happening unless Bosh is moved.

    No way Bosh and LMA can be teammates, even though they "fit". Like LMA, Bosh was adamant about not playing center last year.

    I don't think that's a controversial statement. If both were healthy I would definitely prefer Bosh.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but joining the Rockets would make us instant title contenders.

    At the end of the day, the Spurs are old and will have the heart of their team retired in a year or two along with the coach.

    Rockets have Harden locked up for the long term and you could argue he is still growing as a player after finishing second in the MVP race.

    Good lord.

    The Suns would be garbage. Still no shooting, and you could argue that the Portland squad is better than a Suns plus LMA team.

    Still not buying the LMA to PHX crap. Just like the D12 to Golden State

    It wasn't a rumor, but rather a response he (LMA) gave to a fellow CF...

    Something that you may think of to even out Bosh's lung blood clot is that Aldridge has needed heart surgery before.

    Well this is officially worse than the previous Melo and Bosh chases. LMA honestly seems like he has no clue what he wants to do. That does seem to work in our favor as the team that can offer the best chance to win, close to his son, and no state tax.

    Don't get me started on the craziness of Tyson and Dwight, but is the Suns' young core really that much more appealing than a 25 year old James Harden?

    Honestly, the only place the Suns beat out the Rockets is point guard and even then Rockets could add a strong point guard with MLE/trading Jones. Plus, I would even say Harden is a better playmaker than either Knight or Bledsoe.

    The national media outright dismissal of the Rockets is just sickening sometimes. I don't know why it is going on but its extremely puzzling.

    Probably on hold till the LMA nonsense plays out.

    Honestly, the D12 to GS made a whole lot more sense than LMA to PHX.

    GS had the contracts to match any sign and trade / create cap space (Bogut, Lee, Bedriens and Jefferson) and they had the shooting that was needed in a system with Dwight Howard.

    Other than Houston, GS was a strong option. And it seemed like GS might get D12 before they used the money they got by trading Jefferson and Bedriens to sign Iggy.

    Maybe he likes Phoenix's health staff and thinks they can prolong his career?

    It's Dragic 2.0. It didn't compute to us at the deadline either.

    He's not interested (at least not his first or second or probably even third option).

    Dragic wanted his own team, running the point, not sharing ball-handling duties. But you have a chance to play on a winner, a contender & play with Harden & Howard. He did not care.

    Some of that. Aldridge wants to be 1 or 1A. Aldridge wants a center next to him. Aldridge may be turned off by Houston for reasons unknown to us. (Although did reportedly enjoy the presentation, so ???)

    He ain't coming here.

    That's funny. I can't understand how LA is still trying to build around Bryant. At best they should consider him a good sharpshooter and build around young talent.
