This is an easy one for me- I'm going with the Rockets.
If Houston beats Lebron, there's no way he's joining them, and it then comes down to us and Philly for his next team.
Added bonus- if GS loses, we don't have to hear any more "Greatest Team of All Time" BS. They're not in that conversation if they go 2-2 over 4 years with the talent on that team. |

I don’t think either is better for the Lakers. I enjoy excellence so I would like to see GS win.

| I say Warriors because I don't trust Houston to beat Lebron in the Finals without Chris Paul. |

| I don't want Golden State to win because KD joined them... before that, I kind of liked the team. It's not that I don't like KD... it's that I don't like the overpowered team idea. |

I voted Houston, though as a basketball fan I hate the idea of watching two ISO teams slug it out for seven games 
Either way, I think Houston’s chances of getting LeBron took a major hit after Paul’s injury. But playing Houston in the Finals would almost certainly take them out of the running. Really would come down to LA and Philly.

I don't think either benefits the Lakers since I don't think Lebron's coming here regardless. However, I'd like all this "greatest team ever" talk about the Warriors silenced once and for all.

To many signs, only reason why others are talking about Houston and Philly cause they don’t want the Lakers to be great again. |

You're saying the only way for the Lakers to be great again is if Lebron comes here?

It’s the easiest path, but yeah there are many ways, but if you get LeBron you are guaranteed to have a multiple year title window.. |

I’m having such a hard time believing that LeBron would want to play in Houston’s one dimensional offense where you just ISO to death and chuck 50 threes whether they’re falling or not.
