I guess it doesn’t hurt to plan…
With the Internet hype of LeBron possibly opting out of his contract with Miami, the Houston Rockets do not want to be left behind if he actually does it. They want to have a deal ready immediately.
According to Howard Beck of Bleacher Report they want to cover all angles, including Chris Bosh…
League sources say that Houston is preparing to make an all-out push to land James when free agency opens on July 1, assuming James opts out, as expected. If the Rockets miss out on James, they will turn their full attention to Carmelo Anthony. Chris Bosh is also on the radar.
There are rumblings that James will start weighing his options this weekend. One rival executive pegged his chances of leaving Miami at 40 percent.
I wouldn’t read too much into the “40 percent” bit. Rival executives most of the time talk but the fact that Houston is doing so much planning, is quite scary.
I’m sure many teams are planning for either Melo or LeBron but Houston is planning for both! That’s mental!
I can see them getting Melo but I think, but like Howard said in his post. It’s a long shot.
