1) Houston Rockets vs. 2) Golden State Warriors

[TurnUpTheHeat]

so who's starting the Cleveland/Golden State thread...?

I nominate you.

 

[LAD]

I mean they constructed a team to beat GS and with a healthy Chris Paul it might have worked.

Oh, here we go with the "what ifs"

 

[tlance]

I disagree on principal.

If Houston offered the Cavs Gordon and Capela for LeBron how would that go?

I know that would be a bad trade for Cleveland.

They would need to rebuild. Not land "good" players.

 

[Hook'Em0608]

In game 6 too...yet they tried to tell us all season they put this team together to beat GS. SMH

I mean, you act like a team can just decide to beat Golden State and it will actually happen. Last time I checked, the Warriors had 2 MVP's and 4 all star players in their prime. I'm honestly shocked my Rockets got this close looking back on my expectations before the season. But you do you I guess.

 

[Black Adam]

I nominate you.

fuggit, done...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Well, don't they have to convince him to extend first?

Yes, but I wasn’t implying it was a serious trade.
Im saying in general, LeBron for those 2 is a joke.

If James leaves, he’s not bringing assets back for Gilbert.

He’ll go out with fuck you’s flying.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Barkley on Cavs wagon.

Spoiler

Warriors sweep now

Warriors rolled them last year in 5 with Kyrie still there. Gonna be 5 again because LeBron is that good. Doubt a sweep.

They might be able to scare up a second win - if they look at the videos and see what D'antoni did - but actually the conference finals this year was the best it's been in years. I wouldn't under-estimate LeBron though

Don't be defensive. I'm just reminding everyone here what Houston's owners said.

 

[Mecca]

Not well since LeBron is a free agent.

He's not. But, he can opt out.

But, if he wanted to go to the Rockets, he could pull a Cp3 and opt in to be traded.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I'm sorry, I thought you'd be busy crying in your mom's basement somewhere after this game

What makes you think he isn't? - Possibly his mom let him keep his laptop?

Just can't with your thing right now LOL

Wrong. They don't have the talent Hou has.

Definitely not my thing. That's you dragging the black cloud into this thread.

The Rockets further than I thought in my opinion - I said from the beginning that the Warriors had to many weapons and with Chris Paul in that series - then the Warriors would have had to rain threes again instead of grinding it out

 

[Mecca]

Well, don't they have to convince him to extend first?

No.

He could go the sign and trade route...

But, I honestly don't understand how that works for a team so far over the cap.

Is that still allowed?

He could threaten to walk for nothing if they don't agree to trade him, if he opts in.

Going the opt in route gives Houston his full bird rights next Summer.

Nope. We all have our things, this is yours. Let's see if you're a last word freak too.

I know they can't win - but LeBron might be able to carry them to a couple of games - Work with me - I am trying to be nice to them

Well that's what I'm saying...to do a sign & trade he'd have to extend, right?

She's a woman - don't they usually get the last word any way? - She's a nice lady though - I'm just saying
