Is there some evidence of the second part?? That his family loves it?? Not saying they don't, jsut curious. I've seen both reports that Savannah wanted to stay in Miami... and wanted to go back to Cleveland, so who knows. Relative to this time, it seems like Lebron has developed an off-season LA base, given a house there, lots of time spent there. If family is the most important thing, it seems like LAL would be the front-runner. Which is why they ARE the front-runner per the current odds.
______________________ Caron Butler on Chris Mannix's podcast: If LeBron goes to Houston with Harden, Paul & LeBron, how does it compare to Golden State has, especially in year one? That'd be amazing. Still don't think they're better than them. That'll put them right there where they have a 50/50 shot in a series where anything can happen. Still don't think it'll put them over the hump.
I despise GSW jock-sniffers. And random NBA idiots. The Rockets nearly took out the champs without LeBron. LeBron nearly took out the GSW in Game 1, single-handedly (and then only had one hand the rest of the series: PUNCH!) The Rockets almost made the NBA watchable by taking down the Chumps, but it's like a tree falling in the remote woods, or a mouse getting a ****-on. You need superhuman hearing to catch it.
Yeah i'm saying that based on the reports back when his mother never wanted to leave and told Bron he can go back and she was staying in Miami. But, i think we can all safely assume they all loved being rich and famous in South Beach. His children have no ties to Cleveland, i'm sure they never wanted to leave either. All speculation, but safe speculation IMO. Either way, Miami looks like they will have an even harder time to find a way to make it work with their CAP than the Rockets do and the Rockets look like they have an impossible task with Ryan Anderson's contract.
Don't let anyone fool you. This is a LEBRON decision. He puts out the stuff about family and stuff to add to the drama/tension. He craves that. Lebron loves LA. He goes there a lot, he bought a house there. He stokes the flames of the rumor mill that he'll go to LA. Everything with Lebron is always about maximizing attention.
Caron clearly needs to lay off the sauce. LeBron > Durant, Harden >= Curry, CP3 >> Thompson, and Tucker can match up with Draymond. Then the Rockets would have Ariza to match up with Iguodala.
Harden and cp3 worked like a charm. Those Two Can make any experiment work. If i'm an allstar chasing a ring i would love to be in houston. And there's really no actual ranking of who is the leader. It's not harden and everyone else. Yeah maybe lebron can entice player but right now i think harden and cp3 seems like a great destination for any all star caliber player. They can SHINE and win a ring and wont feel like a right hand man to a king. so if lebron decides to "create" a new team instead of going here i still think we can land a good all star player that could help us beat GSW.
You guys are all missing the point from Dwade. He said it's a family decision, but isn't CP one of LeBron's kids godfather? CP is part of LeBron's family. His kids will be around their father and godfather. I am sure Houston has some nice high school for BB growth. Next, Lebron single handedly could win one game against GSW and CP and Harden could with 3 games. If u do the math we could win 4 games right there. That's enough to beat GSW.
Love you Plow, my only thing is, where is this other expensive piece going to come from thats really going to push us over the warriors hump? It has to be via trade and aside from lebron or george, maybe butler is the only viable option out there? I know its not Kawhi. I just have a hard time understanding where this deal materializes without assets.
