    more nerdy basketball talk....

    rockets sign & trade for lebron james:

    aaron brooks
    trevor ariza
    jared jeffries (expiring contract)
    2011 first round pick
    new york's 2012 first round pick
    2012 second round pick
    $3 million cash

    rockets sign & trade for chris bosh:
    luis scola
    jordan hill
    shane battier (expiring contract)
    rights to swap 2011 first round picks with new york
    2011 second round pick
    2012 first round pick
    $3 million cash



    bring over sergio llull from spain (we have his draft rights)
    use part of or all of the midlevel exception on brad miller

    afterwards, we'd have a lineup of:

    PG - kyle lowry, sergio llull
    SG - kevin martin, jermaine taylor, mike harris
    SF - lebron james, chase budinger, alexander johnson
    PF - chris bosh, patrick patterson, chuck hayes
    C - yao ming, brad miller, david andersen

    that's a pretty damn good team.

    how this could happen:
    this team might not have quite as strong of a starting 5 versus if lebron and bosh went to chicago, but it's close.  it's also deeper than any team that chicago, miami, or new york could put together since they've gutted their teams in order to clear cap space (llull and patterson would be very experienced as far as rookies go).

    if lebron and bosh do a sign & trade instead of outright signing with a new team, then they'd earn around $30 million more doing so. 

    additionally, there is no state tax in houston, so they'd end up saving a lot of money that way. 

    plus with the "yao ming effect", they'd end up with a lot more fans and a lot more endorsements from china.  resulting in even more money and more worldwide appeal.

    so from a financial and competitive standpoint, a sign & trade to the rockets makes a lot of sense for lebron and bosh (assuming both go together).  financially, they’d probably make more with the rockets than with any other team in the league.

    so, if the cavs and the raptors are convinced that lebron and bosh are going to sign with other teams, then doing a sign & trade at least gets them back something. 

    if they are going to do a sign & trade, then the rockets have a lot of pieces to make this happen.  yes, some teams could offer more (like if the lakers offered bynum for bosh) -- but if lebron and bosh forced a sign & trade specifically to houston, the cavs and raptors would still get a decent return.

    Not bad at all Patrick!  You've thought this out pretty well.  I'm sure Rockets are up for it.  Chicago is another team.  What do you think Chicago will do to get Lebron?   Another blog question!  :)
