    If Lebron comes I doubt he will wanna be second fiddle to the real King James

    And Harden only in 2nd season in MDA system. And D is completely different with additions of Paul, Moute and Tucker. This team is far from finished product and it's still sending tremors throughout the NBA.

    Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer just reported that LeBron’s FA list only has 4 teams included

    Rockets, Lakers, Cavs and 76er’s.

    I'd rather the Sixers get all the attention. Unneeded distraction

    Lerbon with the media misdirections.

    Is it weird that the idea of LeBron coming here doesn't make me giddy with excitement? I mean yeah it would be cool and if you have the opportunity to do it, you jump on it if you're the Rockets. But I think the team is pretty damn good now and fun to watch, so a part of me doesn't want to mess with that.

    If LeBron comes here we might not lose a game.

    I'd agree with you if Golden State doesn't exist, but they do.

    Hayward returning next season. We need all the firepower we can get. LeBron is a playoff performer.

    what if I tell you, the team will still be fun to watch with Lebron added?

    The 2018 Houston Rockets team is not good, it is great. Historical in certain aspects of the game (3- point shots). Still, if we come short of winning it all because of the Worriers, then it means the team must improve even more.

    In short, I am all in on the LeBron James bandwagon, but only if we are 2nd best again.

    I would be all in on LeBron if Rockets win it all, question is if LeBron would feel similarly .

    sometimes while I’m watching games I imagine Lebron driving to the rim off a kick-out pass instead of Ariza or Lebron as our PF or even small ball 5 instead of PJ and there would literally be no way to guard us...Rockets would be a cheat code

    Tillman needs to figure out how he's going to pay Paul and Lebron under the table to make that salary cap work!

    leBron will only come here if the rockets don't win a championship, therefore i'd rather us win the championship this year. Screw Bron.

    I do the same!! I also imagine AGordon in same roles as well but playing better D, especially on switches.

    I've imagined Jonathon Simmons in EGo role too.

    To be honest a lot of the Lakers and even Phili fans are not super excited to get the downhill Lebron on a max contract.
    Would he be able to step aside and let the young kids take the lead?
    I actually think that the Rockets are the best fit, but would not gut our squad for it.
    OKC is a living proof that in the modern NBA you need a deep team to really be a contender. Can't just have Harden, Paul, Lebron, Capela and scrubs.
    Losing Anderson, Gordon, Tucker, Mba a mouta (doubt if he will resign for minimum) and Ariza would be very painful, even for Lebron.
    If we can convince Ariza, Green, Mba a mouta to sign for the minimum I can live without Gordon and Anderson. And even that would be hard for me.
