All about Bosh (merged)
- Thread starter Kings Faithful
- Start date
I don't really see Portland chasing after Bosh even with their recent injury woes. They've got to start paying their kids now and can't just add another max salary guy, unless they are willing to kick Oden to the curb. I also think Martin is a better sell - outside shot at an all-star in the East plus he obviously can be a fan favorite considering how many here consider him untouchable. Not sure if Toronto will be in the position to dictate terms like Calderon if Bosh has his heart set on getting out.
Honestly, you never know what GMs are thinking. We certainly can put together a better package than Martin + Hawes but that seems a good starting off point, especially if Toronto risks losing him for nothing.

Basically your option is to trade for nobody of significance up front. becuase here's the deal. Best young PFs in the game? Bosh -- no defense. Jefferson -- no defense. Stoudemire -- no defense (or rebounding). Boozer -- no defense.
This mythical 20-10 plays great defense guy you are looking for comes along once every 10 years and is named Tim Duncan or Dwight Howard. And he's old and unavailable. In fact ANY player who can do all those things is going to be unavailble. So you are left with the options to either take the flawed guy and hope that his desire to win will help him pick it up in a new environment -- same way it did with Webb -- or to just fold,
This sums it up perfectly. The guy you are all talking about, his name is Dwight Howard. I think we should offer up Martin, Hawes, and KT and see how well that is received by Orlando. Bolded for emphasis of the SARCASM
Botom line is you need to take shots in this league. Nobody knows how a trade will work out, or a free agent signing until AFTER it is done and you get to see some games. You think the Sixers would sign Elton Brand aain after seeing what has happened since they got him?But hey, Elton was a 20-10 guy and the Sixers SUCK with him. That signing may go down as the worst in 10 years.
