    He's a 25ppg scorer who takes a lot of mid range shots, his sub .500 shooting isn't a big deal.. he isn't a post/basket player who takes easier shots, he shoots a lot of 3s. Which, by the way, he's good at.

    A simple glance of Bosh's number show he is "good" but nothing more... but if you look deeper, they are quite impressive... he is extremely efficient, be it rebounding or shooting, scoring, etc.

    BIMA.... why is $85.5 million Bosh's max whereas Melo's max is $96 million?

    Can you explain it? Thanks.

    Isn't it the opposite? Big 3 getting some help.

    I don't see how that means anything for Bosh one way or another. They needed a big man at the 4 or 5 anyway so that Lebron isn't always the only legit option at the 4.

    They could still easily go with PG/Wade/Lebron/McRoberts/Bosh and be a contender.

    Bosh hinges entirely on whether or not Lebron is going to leave.

    McRoberts is Bosh's replacement??? :eek:

    I would laugh if Heat responded to this signing by saying: "We expect McRoberts to start and to play well alongside LeBron... Bosh will give us that energy off the bench, I mean, you saw what the Spurs did in the finals against us..."

    and then Bosh STILL waits on what LeBron will do... *twidles thumbs*

    They're transitioning from Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers to Josh McBob and Shabazz Napier?

    McRoberts is PF, and 7M/year for a backup?

    OUCH!

    I know that contracts are out of control, but so much for Miami getting a discount from a ring chaser.

    Bosh plays center for Miami. McRoberts doesn't mess up the big 3 in anyway.

    Yes i know that but you have to know that if he is playing on the rockets he won't be grabiing as much rebound and he will not be able to protect the rim when dh12 is on the bench. while bosh can do that and more. Also love has empty stats as he has never had a winning team, but bosh when he lead the raptors got to the playoffs and had great battles against our own dh12, but came up short. that tells you bosh is greater player than love.
