    Well I guess we are all transferring from the Melo thread to this one.

    COME ON BOSH!

    There is still a small minuscule chance Carmelo picks us. He hasn't officially ruled us out like the Mavs were ruled out.

    Might as well hold out hope.
    I'm skeptical, but I mean its still possible. :p

    2015 NBA Finals?

    The Cleveland big 3 of Irving, LeBron, Love (assuming the Cyberx trade rumor of Wiggins and a first round pick to Minny for Kevin comes to fruition if LeBron signs)

    Vs.

    Bev, Harden, Parsons, Bosh, Howard

    We win, because Cleveland isn't allowed to have any more championships. :p

    Appropriate to thread topic and our Bosh hopes.

    How can you be heavily engaged with Chris Bosh when you haven't even spoken to him yet? Sounds like Maury is getting catfished.

    Ofcourse I meant IF we can get verbal commitment from Bosh. If he commits in the AM and we get no word from Melo camp, I would want to Rockets to call his agent and tell him we are not interested in his client's services anymore. Great troll job.

    What needs to be said? It is all about the money. Meetings with players are over rated. Where did it get us with him in 2010?

    He's definitely talked to his agent just not to Bosh directly, according to Woj.

    Rockets make enough money, pay Bosh, and knock the Spurs out and then the Heat in the finals.

    JOB DONE!

    Bosh is a more natural fit for this team with Parsons, Melo is a better player but not better for the team and its needs

    Players hire these guys called agents. They pay those guys to handler their business.

    The thing that concerns me about Bosh is salary wise.

    1. I hope we don't do an S&T with Miami, and put ourselves at risk of losing Parsons.

    2. To me, Bosh is not worth the max now, and I don't think he'll accept anything less. He doesn't give two ****s about losing Parsons; dude's already won a ring. He just wants to get paid.

    I wish we could go after someone who is hungry for the ring (Love), and keep our core.

    I would love Bosh+Parsons, but if we can manage to get Love and Parsons...it's over.

    Bosh is not worth the max BUT Parsons is worth near max. One of these describes you

    I hate all these teams that drove up Parsons' value.
