The Rockets have 8 free agents next season they are going to be a drastically different team next season. I like Shannon Sharp's idea of LeBron staying Cleveland and trading the number eight pick for Kemba Walker and picking up DeAndre Jordan.

This is impossible based on Cleveland's salary cap. They have the highest payout among all NBA teams, and they cant just get rid of albatrosses of contracts like Tristan Thompson, George Hill, and JR Smith. These 3 have over 30% of the cap space, and they have next to no trade value. This idea that the Cavaliers can somehow obtain big talent through trades is downright baffling to me, let alone signing a guy of DeAndre Jordan's stature.

If you ask me the best place for Lebron to go is the Pelicans. You can get rid of Solomon Hill and E'twan Moore much easier than any of the Cavs listed while keeping Boogie, and if you have to you can trade Jrue. This could create a lineup of Rondo, James, Mirotic, Davis, and Cousins. I'm not saying theyd win it all, but it's better then anything I see happening in Cleveland.

I'd honestly be shocked if Lebron goes anywhere out west
