Chris Bosh

[=LarryLegend=]

We all know that its going to be hard and expensive to bring a all star here. What about Chris Bosh?? i mean come on toronto......please. Sacramento has to be way better than that. also I think a Kmart/Bosh two headed monster perfect.

Pretend your Bosh and you have the choice of about 20 NBA teams when your a free agent. How high do you think Sacramento is on that list? I love the way you guys expect just because we have the money that players are going to choose us over Indiana, Chicago, New Jersey, Philly, Miami, Boston, etc.... and I don't need to name the West coast teams do I?

We may can get a second tier player that year because of the big names out there.

 

[AriesMar27]

yeah, why would bosh want to come here? we'd be luck to convince darko to come here in 2010 let alone bosh...

 

[=LarryLegend=]

For C-webb money. anybody Sactown gets we will have to over pay for. if you offer him 90mil+..

 

[AriesMar27]

thats how orlando got rashard lewis.... do you want rashard lewis? for the right deal they'll send him to the kings.... they need a sg and pf/c. lewis for salmons/moore/thomas or salmons/miller....

Before contemplating breaking the bank for Bosh, I'd like to see what we already have in Jason Thompson, who shares a lot of similar qualities with him.

 

[FakeInjury]

Yes and No. I agree 100% with NME. Bosh is a proven talent, but he is far from a sure shot at a NBA championship. He would cost much more than his potential return. Plus, we are not desperate to win now. Good thought tho

Yeah we aren't desperate, yet you wanted Zach Randolph and Drew Gooden. oh yeah and Eric Dampier. LOL TDOS needs to end because some of us are getting delusional. I have resorted to posting on THESE type threads.

 

[Larry89]

I'd rather develop spencer/thompson for now.

 

[AriesMar27]

i dont think we have much of a choice in the matter.... i cant think of a single scenario where we could get our hands on a top tier free agent in 2010... unless we pull a webber move again and trade for a disgruntled superstar. dont know who we'd trade unless the team wants all of our expiring contracts that summer....

 

[ikillz0mbies]

As much as I would love to see the Kings sign Bosh, it probably won't happen because they just drafted Thompson. And I doubt any of them would be too happy with a bench role.

 

[Bricklayer]

Look, you don't put off signing Chris Bosh for the sake of Jason Thompson, or anyone else, unles Thompson is at least a 15 and 10 guy by that time. And if you can get a guy the caliber of Chris Bosh to come to Sactown, then you count every lucky rabbits foot, charm, or penny you own, because you have just accomplished something never before done in the Sacramento era -- sign an elite free agent.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

I just think he would be our best chance at landing a allstar.

 

[Prince_XY]

Wishful thinking.

It would really be nice to have Bosh in our team. It will give us a solid PF while we wait for Jason Thompson to develop and mature.

I think a solid PF is the only player that is missing in this rebuilding team.

We are pretty much set at #1 with decent PG's on Udrih, Bjax, and BBrown. To me these players are more than enough to compensate for the loss of Bibby.

We are solid on #2 on Martin, especially with a decent back-up in the name of Garcia and Salmons.

I also believe we are pretty much set on #3. At 6' 10" , Greene is a very promising SF - especially that he is very mobile/atheletic and can shoot the treys. He reminds me of Peja and Hedo.

We are also pretty much set at #5 with Miller ( a potential double-double every night with some bonus on assists ) and the youthful Hawes who have shown a lot of promise last season.

Now, if we could just have a reliable PF franchise player who can bring in a double-double ( game-after-game ), and who can give the Kings the needed confidence and identity, I think we could talk about play-offs next season, and Championship in 2-3 years.

Vlade? Or did he not fall under "elite", just "very good"?

 

[NME]

A few responses to thoughts in this thread, being too lazy to interleave quotes:

We'll have a very good idea what we have or don't have in Thompson by two years from now, so I'm not worried about being caught in a difficult decision there.

Vlade had just put up 10 and 8 the year we signed him, which was a down year anomaly, but still his career numbers are only a tick higher. Very different than luring a 26 year old who likely just put up at least 22 and 10 the prior year.

Bosh will have a bullseye on him as one of the youngest of the potential elite level free agents that year, and half the teams in the league are attempting to have cap space that summer. There's just no reason to think we could get him here.

Our best chance at getting an All-Star is if he's either already on our roster or we draft him in the next couple of years.

This is most likely all moot, because Bosh will probably sign a hometown max-out extension before even sniffing free agency.

I wanted those players for thier soon to be expiring contracts. Nothing to do with thier talent or winning capabilities. I was into the idea of trading Future expirings for slightly greater future expirings, all the while expanding talent base. Bosh is a frachise player, who can't win without other franchise player to help him. I would rather get people who aren't franchise players, and know it.

Huh....I certainly don't follow Chris Bosh's personality that closely, but he always seemed to be a pretty good guy. He's a stud of a player. Will he immediately turn your team into a championship caliber team by himself? Probably not, but there aren't that many that can.

Who are the comparable players to Bosh (that I guess aren't "franchise players") that you would rather have?

 

[FakeInjury]

Darko is cheaper. Brandon Bass is larger, and much cheaper. Wilcox is cheap and expiring soon.

 

[kennadog]

i mean come on toronto......please. Sacramento has to be way better than that.

Couldn't let this pass. I consider Sacramento my hometown and love it, but Toronto is a beuatiful, cosmopolitan, international city. Sorry, but Toronto has it all over Sacramento as a city, except for having to shovel snow. Somehow, I don't think Bosh has to shovel snow.

 

[Bricklayer]

Oh my.

You put the three of them together and they aren't as good as Chris Bosh.

 

[NME]

What if they climb on each other's shoulders?

That is unlikely a true statement. I understand what you meant and I won't argue against your ruling. I would like to instead say the three players i mentioned are roughly in the same group. B to B- players. Bosh is an A- player. Bosh is fantastic over a long period of time. But, he isn't bold enough to secure a victory on ANY given night. No A- player can. On that note, since he can't get it done like a A+ player can, and the three players i mentioned can't either, why is Bosh more or less valuable? I consider him servicable, at the very least, and a valuable role player at best. Garnett at 20 = Bosh today. In a few years, Bosh will be worth his weight....oh wait....that makes sense(he's skinny).

Huh? He isn't bold enough to secure a victory? I don't know what most of your post means, but if Bass, Wilcox and Darko are getting B's and Bosh is only getting an A- then the teacher should be fired.

If you were starting an NBA franchise from scratch and had free choice, Bosh would be in the top 10 guys picked, if not top 5. Bass, Wilcox and Darko would be in the 100-200 range.

 

[Spike]

Please explain some more:

Milicic: 5.5 pts, 4.0 rpg
Wilcox: 9.6 pts, 5.5 rpg
Bass: 5.9 pts, 3.6 rpg

Bosh: 18.9 pts, 9.0 rpg

I don't see how the first three would be "one step below" Bosh, according to your grading scale. Alone, maybe Bosh isn't good enough - few are. Put him around a solid core, and I think you'll see something better.

A valuable roleplayer at best? Are you kidding me?????????

Bosh has proven that he is a 2nd tier star. Not quite a superstar, but he can dominate against the best players in the league on any given night. If you think Bosh is just a role player, then Kevin Martin is a 3rd string SG. I'm sorry, and I know you are entitled to your opinion and all, but you are horribly, horribly wrong with that statement

If nobody below an "A" level player (based on your rating system) is going to help you win, then why not just sign D level players and save yourself a lot of money. I actually understand your point to a degree (i.e. Bosh may not by himself bring you a championship), but your logic and conclusion is limited. Would anyone on the most recent Detroit Pistons championship team be considered above an A- player in your opinion? Sometimes it takes more than one guy to win it all.

Bass, Darko and Wilcox get Limited minutes. Bosh gets 40 minutes...and he does dominate sometimes. As for signing lesser talent and saving money...like poker...you are going to have to gamble sooner or later. to even attempt to aquire Bosh would be a gamble, and the odds don't look to good. He eats up cap, and has nothing prime about his game other then his size. Bass would be picked 88th, Darko 89th, and Wilcox 90th. Bosh goes at 11-15.Maybe 10th

Key idea.

Toronto has a huge fan base base and will most likely make the appropriate offer.
