Houston Rockets

Burning Question: What’s the plan to sign LeBron James?

If LeBron James is going to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer, one of the favorites to snag the best player in the world has to be the Houston Rockets.

So, the question is, how are they going to make room for him?

Houston will almost certainly get a meeting with The King, but they will have to work hard to make the money work without a sign-and-trade. They likely have to move Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, two guys that could be difficult to move. This is the narrative to follow moving forward for Houston, though. No question.
