Houston a good fit for Lebron?

[RoxFan08]

Trash talk from a Knicks fan? Really? Do we need to pull out the 94 championship banner?

He's talking about the Thunder (NOT THE KNICKS) having better depth and being a better option for Lebron than the Rockets. That has nothing to do with the Knicks so why are you guys pulling the "Knicks" into the argument?

As far as depth and role players go, Lebron has been playing in that environment already in Cleveland. Plenty of role players that play hard and try but no clear second option. Why would repeating that in Houston be attractive to him?

These are honest questions and he's got a point regardless of what team's fan he is.

They might be a better option for Lebron. Only lebron knows what his best option is. Doesn't change the fact that what I said was true. Thunder is still young, inexperienced and inconsistent. Knicks fan in his words said "all this youth talk is dumb" which made himself look dumb. The Thunder being scoreless for 7 minutes in the whole 4th quarter just proved my point. That they're inconsistent and young. And having their star player have 7 turnovers and miss 6 straight shots when it mattered is a sign of being inconsistent? IS IT NOT? And you'll see plenty of inconsistencies with the thunder team throughout the season.

Because he's one of the biggest trolls/LeBron cock suckers on realgm? I don't know why we should take him seriously when he comes here badmouthing the Rockets when he clearly has little to no knowledge about this team. The Rockets have one of the best supporting casts in the NBA. NYknicks87 is just sore because he knows the chances of LeBron going to New York are diminishing day by day.

I doubt LeBron would want to go to such a small market team where he has to share the spotlight with a player who plays the same position. Durant and LeBron don't really compliment each other that well. And what about Yao? You don't think LeBron would want the privileges that come with being on the same team as Yao?

On the first part, you're right, and I was out of line.

On the second...ever heard of Yao Ming? Not so much the role playing type.

And as already shown this season, the Rockets' "role players" if you want to call them that (I would contend that Landry, and possibly Brooks are more than that), are rather better than Cleveland's "supporting talent", and I'd also like to point out we take out the supporting cast AND the King himself every time we play.

Houston would be great if LeBron wants to control the largest market in the world. If Chuck Hayes can get a shoe deal, LeBron could probably get his own high performance triple-core processor.

Right, so veteran teams don't go through scoring droughts? I guess not, right? You're taking one 7 minute stretch and acting as if it's the microcosm of the Thunder's season thus far. The Thunder are a young team and they will commit mistakes that typically characterize young and inexperienced teams. What has completely flown over your head during this whole discussion is that the Thunder has not let their youth get the best of them, or else they wouldn't be 12-10 right now. That's why your whole 'youth' argument has very little substance behind it. Yeah, they're young, and they'll play like it at times, but on the whole, they haven't let it get the best of them. You look at the Nets or the Twolves and you'll see that their inexperience and youth are played out out in the basketball court night in and night out and their horrendous records are proof of it. The problems that come with youth and inexperience have not plagued the Thunder's season thus far like it has for the Nets and Twolves. Do you get it now?

All I said was that the talent that the Rockets have don't stack up with the Thunder. If you're going to interpret that as "the Rox suck", then you need to take a reading comprehension class. And honestly, I actually think that Lebron would do just fine with the Rockets - better than what he's doing with the Cavs right now actually. Rick Adelman is once again proving why he's one of the best coaches in the league and the Rockets are not only more talented than the Cavs minus Lebron, but are more scrappy as well.

Durant and Lebron actually DO complement each other. When it comes to surrounding Lebron with talent, the most important skillset is shooting, and Durant can shoot the lights out from anywhere on the court. Although Durant has the ball in his hands a lot now, he can just as easily play off the ball.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Those subtle but irrelevant jabs at the Knicks became not so subtle as this discussion went on. The funny thing is, I didn't even slam the Rockets when I was trying to argue my point.

[aznkillabeezZz]

No **** they're better than the nets, twolves and knicks. Who would've ever guessed that? My first post regarding the Thunder was saying that they're a "decent" team with 3 upcoming young players, and I also said they're still young and will show alot of inexperience which they are. So instead of telling others how to comprehend, do that yourself.
