http://twitter.com/JonRothstein Just got the phone with an #NBA GM who told me it's a formality @chrisbosh will sign with the #Heat.... "This has been planned for a long time," the GM said. "Chris is going to Miami"
I am wondering who is the GM? Riley or Colangelo? btw, if Bosh plays with Wade, will James himself go to chicago? Will James+Rose be enogh to win a title?
Chicago could care less about Bosh if, as reported, getting Queen James is a sure thing. There are a handful of Bosh-substitutes on the market; however, I wouldn't count on these information from "inside". All will be cleared when July comes.
i think James, Rose, Noah, Deng can make a run at the title. adding James alone makes them contenders.
Not yet. Remember when Boozer was resigning with the Cavs? When Antonio McDyess was signing with the Rockets? When Turkoglu had a deal in place with the Blazers last season? It ain't over til' it's over.
I don't think so. The frontcourt is not good enough to beat Magic, celtics, or Lakers. I guess James won't sign with chicago unless Bosh is going to there as well. The current cavs are also a contender, but they lost to magic and celtices in playoffs because of their weak frontcourt.
A marginal playoffs team last season. Actually, they had worse record than the rockets. Don't you think the rockets + Yao + James > the bulls+James?!
I wouldn't mind Bosh to Miami. I love watching Riley work, hopefully he comes back and coaches. You guys will probably find a way to whine about it meanwhile he gets another ring and I will be entertained.
Bulls get L. James and J. Johnson Miami gets Bosh and Wade NJ gets Amare Boozer resign with Jazz R.Gay resign with Grizzlies and NY get's left out in the Cold giving our NY picks more value... :grin: --RB
so wrong its not funny. let me walk you through it 1.cavs roster is literally the worse team in the league without lebron. they will probably get the #1 pick in draft when he leaves. YET lebron is able to carry that team to literally close to 70 wins, in fact,if not for injuries to mo/andy they would have broken the alltime record 2.bulls are already a playoff team. they beat rockets both times this year,and then they add lebron. that alone is 70 wins. not to mention they still have enough room left over to offer joe johnson close to max . just amazing. we might see 75 wins. gibson is no slouch. he is better and more polished than hill,patterson, and noah is amazing, id trade yao right now for him. rose,lebron,deng,joe johnson,gibson,noah, mle is just possibly the best team of all time. Wade and Bosh have no idea what they are in for. Raptor fans think Bosh is terrible,cant carry a team,cares more about his image and brand than winning,cares more about twitter than improving,gets weak and sore as season goes on,lazy,not a banger,he is basically the pf version of tmac. wade has injuries every year since his ring. Im going to love watching Bosh get steamrolled by the rose/johnson/lebron trio. It will be so fun to watch after Boshs r****ded words that Wade is one of the best of all time. Wade has 1 ring, so does drexler. I hope Bosh isnt signing with Wade because of the beach. If it is then he is dumber than I thought. Im seriously wondering if it has something to do with women.That would be dumb to. Not a winner. Actually,Morey can blackmail Bosh if he wants to get nasty. Tell Gm of Toronto that we will offer an incredible package,and to not sign and trade Bosh to Miami. Basically dare Bosh to walk. I bet he doesnt. Why would he turn down 30 million,even if Wade is his lover that would be stupid.They can have sex with each other in the offseason. Then,Toronto tells Bosh,sign and trade with Houston and no one else. Bosh might agree. However,I dont want Bosh. Man is he soft.He draws fouls by driving to the basket but he iso's iso's and iso's they say he is a blackhole and wont pass ever(cant pass,doesnt know how) There is no competition for bulls. Bulls will have a cakewalk every year to finals and thats what stern wants to guarantee lebron get in finals. They may however face lakers or rockets in finals depending on what morey does.(hint amare)
The reason Pau Gasol to the lakers and Garnett to the celtics had such an impact on the balance of power in the NBA is that these two forwards have an all around impact on the game. Especially on defense and offense. KG won defensive player of the year award, and the celtics trounced the lakers on the first year. Now this year, Gasol and Bynum formed a formidable interior presence inside and the lakers beat the celtics. Bosh will not have the same impact, because he doesn't have the defensive prowess to alter shots or to body up on the post players like perkins. Aside from his offensive skills, we're looking at a player that will require help defense if he guards a good post player and his offense is more of a finesse game and perimeter shooting. Kinda reminds you of a more polished version of michael beasley.
75 wins? Please. Jordan and Co fed off his maniacal competitiveness and treated every game like their last. Call me when LeBron stops worrying about his global icon status and then we'll talk 70.
