    Cheap????

    Morey told Bosh, "look buddy, you be aware in the FA market you get X dollars, but in a S&T you get X+Y dollars. We've got the pieces that Toronto wants."

    Morey is to the point. Max in a S&T is a lot more than Max in the FA market.

    Morey doesn't play around!!!! :grin:

    If Bosh and Thomas (agent) give the Rockets the ok, they'll definitely fly up to the windy city and have a more official meeting. Morey just wanted to get on his mind and buy for a second meeting most likely.

    Don't think anything's wrong if u really want him. Its his punk ass agent who keeps blocking us from really meeting w/ him.

    Bosh would have had to agree to a big sit down like he has with the other teams. Unfortunately he hasn't been interested enough to offer that to Houston. It's not on Houston or Morey, all on Bosh and his agent.

    I feel it is a lot more personable to go to someones house. Meeting in a cold building in a meeting room is not my cup of tea.

    I think DM knows exactly what he is doing... and it can`t hurt to have something different from all other offers...

    In the end Bosh really only has to ask himself 1 question:

    Do I want to play alongside Lebron/Wade, perhaps with a subpar supporting cast as a second option or do you want to come to a playoff caliber team full of great role players as a first option and lead it to a championship (and make more money while doing so). I´d fully understand if he takes the first option - it`s kinda the sexy option as it would generate a whole lot more media attention. But if he is serious about winning, about being the main man on a team, and also about money, going to Houston should be his best option!

    At least chose Tim Hortons or Starbucks, even MacDonalds is better than his house. Morey is so cheap!

    Hopefully not. But its already been reported his agent didn't take us serious. They say he's aiming for Bosh to play alongside Wade or Lebron

    Doesn't it make you sick to the stomach when some people are so rich that they can be given a free iPad and it's considered a cheap visit by some

    Was Morey the only one there? Did other GM's end up like our caravan?

    If Morey was the first and only one there, I say that Bosh knows we have made him our #1 priority. Most of all the other teams are saying we want you, but it depends on James or Wade. I could see where Bosh could be ticked off about not being a team's first choice and then asked to take less money. Morey made sure all this was planted in Bosh's head, being a genius, Morey only needed 20 minutes. :grin:

    good news. where did you hear this?

    with regards to the thread, i think it is kind of silly. what? do our execs have to be pretentious big wigs sitting in a chicago skyscraper/IMG building in cleveland? oh yes, only then will FAs take us seriously.. nah, i don't think this is a factor at all.

    Perhaps if it was just a home visit and an ipad, then it's a little cheap. However, considering what's on the ipad,all the comments from Houston sports figures, it shows a lot of effort.

    This would make too much sense.
