LeBron James has the power to change everything and everyone in the NBA.Again.This time as a member of the Houston Rockets.The Chosen One has the ability to become a free agent this summer. After winning two championships with the Miami Heat in four years, he's not considered a lock to stay, which has left teams like the Rockets scrambling, according to Bleacher Report's Howard Beck: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.The competition for James' affection will be fierce, but Houston's pitch may be tough to beat.Joining forces with James Harden and Dwight Howard puts James at the center of another Big Three—one that spawns a contender overnight and forces the rest of the league to adapt and react to a second, James-headlined tectonic shakeup.With James off the market, wearing a different uniform, fist-bumping new teammates, growing his beard out like Harden, the NBA is thrust into aCode Red free-agency scrum—also known as "Operation React to LeBron James Becoming a Championship Mercenary with Loyalty that Runs Puddle Deep."
In certain instances, this calls for teams with cap space and LeBronathon aspirations to throw money elsewhere—as in everywhere else. Carmelo Anthony becomes that much hotter a commodity. Not only is he the second-best free agent on the market, but the Rockets are one of his most ardent suitors. Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski actually cited them as a favorite of Anthony's.
