Bosh wasn't the problem at all. Wade has been the problem and they also lack a center. Those are the real problems.
If Bosh leaves they can sign Melo and not have bad PR. They don't want to appear to have forced their all-star PF out.
This free agency period is very weird. The free agents are waiting for something to happen. I am fine if we don't get any of those FA. Parsons is our #1 priority player we need to sign with.
Bosh was a problem as well. There is a reason that Miami front line could not contain any decent front court. A jump shooting soft PF that avoids contact in the paint and that cannot rebound? That is always going to be a problem.
To get rid of Lin requires a draft pick at the very least, and probably cash. Possibly our first round pick. Why does that make the team better? You don't like MilkHair putting him in the game? Get rid of the coach, not our cash and draft picks.
Doesn't look like Bosh is getting the hint. He's like that crazy ex you can't get rid of. Lebron or Riley are going to have to give him the, "it's not you, it's me" talk real soon or well be sitting here 3 weeks from now still trying to figure out what's going on.
I am that way about 99er CHI. But he deserves it so it isn't really some weird trait I have. More about CHI than it is about me really.
He posted under "Swish" on OTRBasketball, which later became Discusshoops after it got hacked. I had the site on my signature for a few years. It lasted about 9 years before everyone got too old and were busy with college and the owner shut it down. Alex wasn't around really the last few years because he got the reporting gig.
Just my opinion but I don't see Morey going after a Love/Rondo trade unless Parsons signs an offer sheet before the Melo/Lebron/Bosh situation is settled (he'd have 3 days to match and would have to get someone before losing the ability to go over the cap). Seeing how the only suitors that have been reported interested in Parsons are currently waiting on Melo/Lebron/Bosh, I don't see this situation being resolved anytime soon. Everyone is waiting for the other person to make a move and it results in a very uneasy NBA/Clutchfans.
Legitimate PFs can do well. Bosh is a soft-assed jump shooting PF that does not like contact in the paint and does not rebound. Do not want.
Lin will probably cost 2 second rounders or 1 2nd and a Euro stash guy. Novak was moved for a future 2nd with 7 million due over the next two years Lin is a better player so at worst 2 seconds. His cap space can be used for defense...I dont think that is what the poster was getting at though.
Not new, but: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Short of billboards over I-95 & skywriting over South Beach, I'm not sure what else Bosh can do 2 convince ppl he prefers to stay in Miami.</p>— Ethan J.

What you are saying makes absolutely no sense. Miami's weak front court had little to do with Bosh and everything to do with the fact that they didn't have a center. And also... Bosh shoots a lot of jumpers because that is what Miami wants him to do. You must have forgot how he played in Toronto.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if all of these guys knew exactly where each other was going while us fans sit here wondering what's going on and if our team has a chance in hell at any free agents
Whoever trades for Lin will need to pay 15 million not 7 million like for Novak. Cash is almost certainly part of the deal and so is valuable draft picks. No reason to dump him if we don't need to. I think we are still over the cap with him so we get MLE.
