It’s kind of like the summer of 2010, except everyone is 8 years older and teams are shooting 12 more three pointers a game.

This is from the other day. Some guy named Pete Zayas who does a Laker podcast, says 4 “entertainment” sources told him LeBron to Los Angeles is a certainty. He and Paul George are signing with the Lakers this summer:

Reminds me of Marc Stein on the Bill Simmons podcast reporting a Gibson’s waiter told him LeBron was coming to the Bulls.

The Lakers w/ LBJ and PG would not beat the Warriors. That would be a terrible decision by Lebron.

Houston is the best option.

Houston has to gut their team to sign him. I don't think Lebron and Harden would mesh well. Philly is only place that makes sense.

Lebron said last week he wants to play off the ball more in the future. That's why I think Houston can work on the court. Off the court they can make the $$$ work.

Everywhere else is just too young, and would need at least a year to get physically/mentally used to a deep playoff run. The Warriors would still beat an inexperienced 76ers or Lakers team with LBJ/PG imo.

If he wants to win, then Houston.
If he cares more about his brand, Lakers.

A healthy Simmons/LeBron/Embiid/Saric core could definitely beat GS.

I can’t see Simmons and LeBron playing together.

Plus, If I’m the Spurs and Kawhi really wants out, I ignore phone calls from the Sixers and get a deal done with Boston. A Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier and Marcus Morris package is a great return. Much better than Fultz and Covington.

Agreed. As a resident Spur fan I sign off on this deal completely and it makes sense for Boston if Kawhi will resign.

It’s not. Lauri’s ready to win. Will Barton will help lead us to the promised land my friend.

Lebron can't play off the ball unless he's willing to average 18PPG and play defense. That's just not who he is.

If that's what the GOAT says he wants to do then I think we should let him do it.

That is a good deal for both teams. Boston would have to then move Hayward also. Maybe they make Hayward part of the deal too with one or two of the other guys being removed.

DeAndre Jordan very interested in going back home to join the Rockets:
https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2018/06/07/houston-rockets-deandre-jordan-los-angeles-clippers-free-agency-clint-capela/

Somebody needs to tell him Morey declined a Clippers trade offer back in January. They like their guy Capela more.

Capela's restricted right?

They wouldn't be able to get both lebron and Deandre.

Restricted, yep. I’m not sure if they could sign both DeAndre and LeBron. DeAndre might be cheaper than Capela. If LeBron really wants to go to Houston, he’s going to Houston. Either signing as a free agent or opting in and requesting a sign and trade. If a sign and trade happens, Houston can resign any and all of their own guys.

If Lebron went to LA but forced them to trade Lonzo, I may start to root for him.

Kawhi apparently wants out of San Antonio and prefers to go to the Lakers. Even if the Spurs do agree to move him I don't see them being anywhere near as dumb as the Cavs were with Kyrie.
