Before LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, he also considered the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers in free agency.
With the Rockets one half away from the 2018 NBA Finals before ultimately losing to the Golden State Warriors in seven games in Western Conference Finals, the opportunity to team up with Chris Paul and James Harden appeared to be James’ best option.
However, with no salary cap space immediately available, general manager Daryl Morey would have had to get extremely creative in order to sign the 33-year-old. Though, there was also a report that suggested James wasn’t found of Houston as a city.
