PG and Lebron on the Lakers? Rest of the team is complete crap so they would still need at least 2 more stars. Definitely one more Lebron to Houston? Still need another star. They would have to give up Ariza + Capela. Harden, broken CP3 and Lebron cannot win anything. Lebron to Boston? Trade Kyrie? Ainge should consider it. |

I like the Boston idea but Kyrie would never accept it so he'd have to go to make that happen. Ainge would do it, though. The question is not whether LeBron is already talking with CP3 and PG to join up somewhere, the question at this point is where. |

Pretty sure it had more to do with Kyrie wanting to be a #1 and knowing that this offseason was coming (and not wanting to be stuck in Cleveland by himself after it was over), but sure, it's probably the explanation that doesn't make any sense.

They would have to give up their best rim protector (Capela) and their best perimeter wing defender (Ariza) in the process. Ariza would just go join the Warriors making them EVEN harder to beat. So Houston would need EVEN more as the Warriors upgrade veterans coming to them. Lebron and CP3 aren't taking the discounts that KD, Klay, etc do. CP3 will want the super max and Lebron will want the max, thus making a roster even harder to construct around them even though Harden is really good. Think about CP3 on the super max a few years from now. Talk about salary cap hell. Whoever does that is going to be ruined 3 years from now when he's a 36 year old broken injury prone point guard making 30+ million with no knees left. |

I think Lebron, Tatum, Hayward, Horford is a good team.
Rozier and trade up for Mo Bamba. Ainge should just go all in. Tell Kyrie to scram. |

I think the comparisons to MJ and being the Greatest of all time should die out after being swept in the Championship series. They showed Lebron several times yelling at his teammates- of course, the losses are All on them.
Lebron was terrible this last game- but you couldn't tell by the media coverage. It is ridiculous how much attention a losing player received- even splitting the screen from the Warriors winning celebration to watch him sulk back to the locker room. Durant wins the MVP and they ask him about Lebron- Really?? I think he might be the most hyped athlete in the history of sports. |

Bamba has been my favorite college prospect all year. I might draft him #1 but Ayton is pretty damn talented too. Can't speak on Doncic, though. |

MJ brought his team up to his level of excellence- it seems Lebron does the opposite. The comparisons should stay in in the current era. Comparing players from different times are always skewed. Durant VS. Lebron as the best player right now is interesting- since one has back to back Rings and MVP's and the other was just swept after a mostly lackluster performance in the last 2 games. |

IF James were to go to Houston, he most definately would pair up with Harden, CP3 and Capella. Im including CP3 because that part of it would already be settled if James committed to playing in Houston. Even with a sometimes broken CP3, Houston would have more than enough to take down GS. Ariza would be the odd man out but he is terrible agsinst GS anyway so no loss there. Give me James over him, and some roll players, all day every day. Bottom line is the Rockets would make James, CP3, Harden AND Capella happen IF James wants to come to Houston. Tilman's word is good enough for me.
