    Lebron is a pretty enigmatic guy. I dun think he would want to ride the coat tails of anyone. He would want to be the uncontested No 1 option.

    Could be wrong but he was the best performer in this playoffs again.

    Harden Story, Lebron Story, Toy Story...

    Well, as long as the ending is "The Rockets win the championship and the Kingdom of Clutchfans lives happily ever after..."

    I don't fking care, grab lebron and fk over kd and da fking warriors. Harden tried his best basically every year for us but when the refs fking u over even when u are down a star, and u always getting sht on the media might as well grab lb and fk everyone. Who cares about the storyline become the fkers who will destroy the media's darling.

    After game 6 and 7, there is no reliable players to get points. That is why we need cp3 and leborn. I totally understand. Also the ref. is important. If we have leborn here, the ref. will give more advantage foul for us. We just keep harden, cp3, tucker, gordon. Other players we may buy out them to trade leborn. He will attract dwade to join

    1)LeBron opt in
    2)Anderson + Gordon + 2 1st rounders for LeBron
    3)Re-sign Paul and Capela, get rid of Ariza.

    We all do, but if Lebron wants to join Houston, I will welcome him with open arms, provided if the team isn't gutted to get him.

    My biggest fear is an S/T with GS in order to get Lebron for Durant. The league never wants GS to lose in my opinion.

    You're not wrong. He's clearly been the best player in the playoffs. Cleveland will probably lose to Golden State because his team this year is worse than last year's team, but I'm sure he'll play well regardless.

    Won't be putting all of my eggs in one basket. Playing for the Rockets its the safe/best chance for him to win another ring, but I wouldn't be the very least bit surprised if he doesn't come here.

    After LBJ you're looking at PG (who still has a player option) and Boogie as your big FA's for the summer.

    After Harden fizzled out it's obvious he isn't a big game player and no longer the deciding vote in a Lebron to Houston scenario.

    The offense would flow through LeBron and im perfectly fine with that.

    Swap LeBron and Harden this post season and the Rockets are playing the Celtics in the NBA Finals.

    Problems with Lebron joining Hou

    1. Lebron knows his friend Chris Paul, he knows he is an Allstar, but he knows he is injury prone, that is a debbie downer in the playoffs.

    Similar player type

    2. Lebron is not a close friend of Harden, Harden is essentially a Mini Lebron in the regular season, he likes to dribble dribble dribble more often than not.

    He cannot be counted on in the last quarters consistently if Lebron is injured.

    2b. Neither Harden nor CP3 can do many things Lebron cannot do himself!

    Lebron is actually a more aggressive Harden/CP/other player combination.

    3. Depth......gutting the team would leave only a couple of useful players.

    Lebron knows he needs at least 2-3 talented starters, and 2-3 talented bench warmers.

    Lebron is joining a younger team with younger stars. Just an interpretation.

    That series was there for the taking and they literally couldn't take it. It was practically handed to them on a silver platter. This team can't do it as constructed. They choked.

    What I remember from the Olajurockets is that everyone stepped up to the competition. Here I felt everyone stepped down, and the Warriors played down too, which makes it incredible we couldn't win.

    If Lebron joins I'm ok with it since it is in fact an arms race. But this team should have won it. There is really no excuse.

    I'm not sure Lebron wants to come here and I'm not sure James Harden wants Lebron here.

    I am sure if teh Warriors swapped KD for Lebron now they'd play a more beautiful passing game.

    Lebron goes to the hole a lot more and would kick out to Curry and Klay more.

    We need to first get rid of ryno's contract. Then we have room to work in with Lebron.

    Perhaps with bron in we could have Clint and CP3 signed not to the max.

    Ryno's is soooooo non existent in the finals

    Yeah ... I'm not sure if LeBron would want. And, frankly, I'm not sure if Harden would like it either. There was still a clear pecking order between Harden and Chris Paul. LeBron has been the best player in the league for over a decade, and Harden has been trying to get to that level for years now.

    There’s about 3% chance mr James comes to Houston. Still better than 0% I suppose.
    What we know is that we can beat gsw in a 7 game series when healthy.
    Back up PG and solid back up C Morey will find.
    Our time will come.

    I didn't notice a pecking order at all. CP and Harden both relied on each other equally to win, and it worked. They fell short and I highly doubt Harden will let his ego get in the way of landing the goat to help win his first championship. This isn't 2013.
