Short of Anthony coming to Miami, the best chance of James making repeated trips to the finals is if he and Melo joined up in Philly.
Chicago has to do a lot of maneuvering to get Anthony. Just don't see that happening. I keep seeing Anthony to Houston in a sign and trade for Harden. Harden and Anthony are not compatible because essentially they are the same guy.

Except Harden is better, is 5 years younger and has the best beard ever.

Harden has a great beard and is younger but isnt better. Amazingly his defense was so atrocious that he made Anthony a plus defender in comparison.

They would no doubt trade Harden for Anthony if it meant getting James too.

Younger is about it. If you asked every GM which they would rather have Anthony would be unanimous choice.

That's not true. You can have Harden for 10yrs or Melo for 4.

If your Phil and its a money grab, I mean they paid Phil 50 million and have no real chance to win in the next 3-5 years. So if your Phil you trade Melo for Harden w/out hesitation.

I have always been kind of a closet Philly fan. I have a Sixers fitted. Loved Iverson and really started getting into NBA betting when I caught Philly moneyline game 1 vs the Lakers in the finals...Call it a redboard but I destroyed that game, I was way young and thought I was rich and lost most of it back... Anyway the point is with the picks they have had the last 2 years I believe its been 2 of the worst drafts EVER. They have basically put there entire franchise into Noel and Embid. I think its insane. Last night I take Exum at 3, then Randall, McDermott or the kid from Indiana.... Whoever slipped to me at 10. Horrible 2 years of drafting from them.

They can win quickly. And Phil got 60 million. Believe me he isnt looking 5 years down the road.
