    There was a rumor last year that the Celtics offered Rondo to Houston, in exchange Boston wanted Asik, Parsons, and a first round pick. The Rockets didn't want to part with Parsons and the deal fell through.

    C'mon JJ, there's going to be pressure on him no matter where he plays and it will be that way until the day he retires.

    With the same team there won't be much pressure because now the world knows he's playing with washed up players and fans will feel sorry for him

    Where are these fans? Did you read any of the posts here? Every year Lebron doesn't win a championship people come out of the woodworks to bash him. He will be under pressure every year to win a championship regardless of who he plays for, and every year he fails, fans will continue to bash him. No one will ever feel sorry for him I can promise you that.

    What are you guys tripping on. Start a team with Noah as your main piece, that is plain stupid. The guy is a decent player that can just gets boards and play some defense but can't get you more than 12 points a game. If you want to win you get star players like Lebron, Durant, Westbrook, Griffin(the guy is getting better and better).

Noah is very good at what he does, and I would love having him on my team, but if you would build a team around him that means he would be your best player. If Noah is your best player, you have no chance to compete for a title. Look at the Bulls with and without Rose (who happens to be their best player), with him the Bulls are title contenders, without him, not so much. Again, if you're starting a team with someone, whoever that player is, he has to be the best player on your team, and as good as he is, if Noah is your best player, you're not winning a championship.

    Let's say Lebron resigns with Miami, then the Heat decided to trade him and they called the Bulls and said "We'll trade you Lebron for Noah straight up". How long do you think it would take the Bulls to say yes? I'll set the over-under at a half a second. Anyone who would take Noah over Lebron is either completely delusional or such a Lebron hater that it clouds their judgement.

    He's a decent player? Didn't he just finish 4th in MVP voting? Probably the best passing big man in the game today, and he's simply decent?

    It depends on what your looking for in a player.

    Perhaps they would who knows,the Heat would be getting the steal in the trade,Birdman and Noah would make a hell of a defensive combo. Noah would be itching to make the Bulls regret the day they ditched him for Lebron.

    Lebron doesnt fit into the Spurs system, Lebron wants to be the focal potent of the club that isn't what the Spurs are about whatsoever.

    If you think any team in the league, including the Spurs would take Noah over Lebron, than there's nothing more to discuss, you're delusional

    Yeah, it's like I said earlier in the thread Meader-These jerkoffs don't have a clue how good this guy is because all they do is look at how many points they average and if they are on sportscenter's top 10. Guys like Noah go under the radar with fans unless you watch the Bulls every night as a fan, then you can appreciate him more. Guy's a fkn beast, and I can't stand looking at his face. One of the ugliest players in the NBA.

    Meader gets it.

    Noah + Thibbs = New gen Pop + Duncan of the East.

    Edit: It's true Noah has shit range and shoots like a school girl but he makes up for his lack of personal offensive skills with the pass. You hear "point-forwards" all day nowadays with Durant, Bron, etc.,... but Noah is the only point-center in the league.

    If the question came down to if I would take Noah or D. Howard, Noah. But Bron is honestly one of those once in a generation type players. Maybe not THE greatest but indubitably will go down in history as one of the greatest.

    Noah a top five impact player in the NBA he is 10 times more valuable than Westbrook and Durrant combined

    Frankly, I hated the pick when the Bulls took him. Disliked him very much at Florida, but you can't argue that his heart, motor and passion for the game of basketball is one of the highest in the NBA.

    The more I think about it, the more I can only think Lebron is staying with the Heat or going to the Knicks.
    They are the only 2 that make sense for him.
    He's not going back to Dan Gilbert in Cleveland, he's not gonna play in Jordan's shadows in Chicago, and he's too big of a pussy to play in the West.

    What other options does he have?
    If not the Knicks it's going to be a surprise team that hasn't been mentioned in the East.
    But who has a market to offer like playing for the Knicks at the Garden?

    Benny if he smart and really want to win you got to go with Anthony Davis or Noah is as they are the two most dominant players in the NBA next to him

    These guys never think that way though

    Miami is a dead-end


    Who knows maybe knicks trading Chandler is a sign LeBron's going to go with Anthony

    I say at the end he is scared and stays in Miami

    I hate Lebron, and 100% do not want to see him on the Knicks and have to root for the fkn prick, but the more I think about his situation, the more the Knicks seem like the best fit for him.
    If you think about the type of person he is- which is an absolute coward and a pussy, you can weed out all these tams they are mentioning and it comes down to the Knicks or the Heat, and I guess somehow you could mention the Nets?
    I would book he is on one of these 3 teams when it's over.
    It just makes sense.
