I'm not a cap expert but from BIMAs tweets he doesn't even know what the best way to get bosh here on MAX deal for the team.. He's mentioned serval times about a hard cap, and other stuff about the S&T... Reason I'm concerned is for a bench... We have no backup center, no back up wing, no back up PG, and don't even have T. Daniles on the roster as back up 2.. ALL THAT IS NOT ENOUGH JUST TO BRING BOSH HERE IN THE WEST... That's why I'm worried... Don't want another Garcia & casspi
I really believe Melo is waiting for Bosh to come here so he can join the Heat with Lebron and Wade. LeBron will stay in Miami if he can play with Melo and Wade. I don't understand why the Heat won't sign Melo right now; why the wait if both sides want this? Sign Melo, resign Wade and Lebron and decline Bosh's rights and force him out. Simple. I guess no one wants to look like the bad guy. If the Heat sign Melo and force out Bosh, it would make them look pretty bad since it should have been Wade that left/took less money. LeBron doesn't want to look like he choose one friend (Bosh) over his other friends (Wade and Melo) even though Bosh played huge part in getting his rings. And here are the Rockets, forcing the hands of both Bosh, Melo and the Heat. We know we might stuck out but we are relying on the 'greed' of the Heat and Melo to get our prize (Bosh).
Are you really that worried that Morey would not be able to find players to fill the roster? There is no GM in the league I'd trust more than Morey if it came to filling out a capped out, star-heavy roster. Look how he found Beverley and Troy Daniels out of no where.
Maybe if the Heat tell him they don't want to bring him back so they could bring in Melo or he is going to have to take a major pay cut (12-14m/year) if he wants to come back.
The guy breaking down the numbers had a sneaky little look on his face last night. Melo is waiting on Bosh to leave so he can take his talents to South Beach.
Those guys are morons. How would we fill out the roster? They just explained that Miami could resign their own guys and go over the cap. He idiots his name is Chandler Parsons
They just broke it don't on ESPN about the salary.... We would only have to move Lin & asik if bosh would take $18.5... I'm for bringing in BOSH for MAX of he leaves MIA like yesterday before lebron makes a pick. Now that's he's waiting for lebron and using us for a backup plan, he needs to take whatever he was going to get with heat $15-18 to help us fill our roster just like he was going to do there.. We're trying to win championships here also.
Bosh has been in 4 consecutive NBA Finals playing with LeBron in Miami. Can you really blame him for wanting to stay? I'd probably do the same thing. It shows commitment to a team he's been successful with. Nothing wrong with that. Bosh can be the backup C and allow the Rockets to go small. Gotta improve the backup wing position, no doubt. Backup PG will be a concern. Also need more 3-point shooters.
I HATE ESPN. I'm am only watching them right now because I suspect they are helping Miami ditch Bosh so he can go to Houston. ESPN has an agenda clearly in all this. Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist but a story line of Melo to Miami is something ESPN can talk about for months. I think we might hear that Bosh has accepted our offer today. I have a hunch. The writing on the wall is Melo still being a free agent. I mean I know this is a major decision for Melo and all, but you have known for a year you wanted to opt out, and he knows the current state of each team. Why haven't you made a decision yet?
To get to Bosh's full max, we would have to trade Jeremy Lin, D-Mo and Canaan. If he took a paycut to come play with us, we might be able to keep one of D-Mo or Canaan. We are trying to pry Bosh away from his current team. The only way to do that is to offer him the max. Period. Even though I would like to have D-Mo or Canaan for our bench, I don't think either is worth presenting a less compelling argument to Bosh. If we got Bosh, and resigned Parsons, at that point it wouldn't matter if he was paid 15mil or 20mil. We would be capped out. It would be up to Morey to fill out the bench with minimum signings and exceptions- basically the way that Miami has for the past several years. Would our bench really be that much weaker if it didn't have D-Mo or Canaan? Enough for us to give a weaker offer to Bosh?
Irony but truth. Everyone remember this when you take issue with how GMs treat players. It's all business with little room for respect and courtesy. FA is one of the only times players have the leverage. The rest of the time they are at the mercy of the owners. Expect the players to do what's best for themselves and no one else.
I'm not sure if this Melo to Miami thing is really true or not. But honestly, I feel like Lebron/Wade/Melo is a weaker, more repetitive big 3 than Lebron/Wade/Bosh
