    Not only is the bench horrible, but there's no guarantee you can even keep Troy Daniels in this scenario.

    When Miami got LBL/Wade/Bosh...everyone worried about the bench. They made it work for a few years. I have trust in Morey that he could fill out the bench.

    That's why we should really try to S&T for Bosh.

    Lin and pick to 3rd team (Bucks,76'rs)
    Bosh to Rockets
    Multiple future picks to Heat

    RFA just like Parsons.

    Jones off the bench automatically gives us a scoring threat we didn't have last season to play with the second unit.

    Daniels is coming into his own.

    The MLE would be great to sign someone else but I don't think that bench is terrible. Also some VET minimum guys could come in and help.

    Out of the 6 players:

    Wade from then
    Lebron from then
    Bosh from then

    Harden from now
    Dwight from now
    Bosh from now

    The only one you'd take on our current setup is Dwight. Wade and Lebron were better than Harden by far and Bosh was clearly better as a younger player.

    Harden/Bosh/Dwight is not nearly as good. You are counting on Bev and Parsons to be enough to make up for the difference.

    Bosh is 30yo, he won't worth that money at that age

    They will likely have to renounce his rights to get to this max offer.

    It's been discussed in other threads.

    If we sign Bosh to the max, does that mean we're hard capped??

    They would basically be offering all of those guys the vet minimum to come back

    It needs a backup wing and a backup C (DMo will be gone). But Jones and Daniels are good, obviously. It's more like:

    Beverley/Canaan/Johnson
    Harden/Daniels/Johnson
    Parsons/Free Agent/Garcia
    Bosh/Jones
    Dwight/Bosh/Free Agent

    Which is fine.

    I would love if Carmelo called to commit to us and we signed Bosh instead.

    Bosh and Parsons get them awfully close.
