In all likelihood, LeBron is headed for his third Finals loss in four years to Golden State. Warriors vs. Cavs could have been this generation’s version of Lakers vs. Celtics, but LeBron never had the supporting cast to make it a fair fight. He needed a superhuman performance to beat the Warriors once, in 2016, and they didn’t even have Durant then. He averaged 33.6 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists on 56.4 percent shooting in last year’s Finals, and Cleveland still lost in five games. LeBron in Houston is way scarier for Golden State than anything he could do in Los Angeles. It would be good for everyone. Overwhelming dominance is only so interesting. Even the Warriors seem a little bored this season. The NBA needs someone who can challenge them, and LeBron has only so many years left that he can play at his current level. He needs to go somewhere they won’t be wasted. He needs to go to Houston.
