Unlike Mr. 50-50 up there with his "sources". I still don't know how he keeps his job after some of the off the the wall out his arse prognosticating he does. This guy actually made up the Melo- LeBron Lakers story, reported it and then said its not concrete enough to report as fact. Then why the **** did you report it?
I have to disagree. Bosh is a logical target for Morey. While I also don't believe that Bosh is worth $22 million a season at this point in his career, I have to think that maybe, just maybe, he is with the Rockets. We desperately need defense at the 4 spot and Bosh gives you that, as well as scoring, passing, and rebounding. Clearly, he's a huge upgrade at the 4. Sure, he isn't the rebounder he once was, but part of that could be his role in Miami, something several around here have suggested. Is he the player I've been hoping Morey would get this off-season? No, but he's a real improvement at a position of need, and could be a difference maker in the playoffs. Besides, Morey may not get him. He may not get Love, Melo, or Rondo, either. That would present Houston with a whole new set of worries. Where would Morey go from here if that's the case?
Well Morey gave Bosh another 88 million other reasons to consider joining us besides just basketball reasons.
If I was Chris Bosh I would wait for Carmelo to sign with the Knicks, Lakers or Chicago. Then I would wait for Lebron to sign with Miami and then I would sign with the Rockets!
Bosh has maybe 4 days max to sign with the Rockets or the offer is off the table. He doesn't really have time to be waiting on others.
If Bosh is gonna be the "big" move then you're gonna be waiting a long time before a conference finals lets alone a ring.
Ryan Anderson, Illyasova and Greg Monroe are not close to being the defender that Bosh is, nor are they as good offensively though the first two are better pure stretch 4s. Josh Smith is better defensively but is a total train wreck in terms of team oriented offensive basketball. Highly inefficient and low BBall IQ. I'd take Bosh over any of them, though I have no problem with getting one of the first as a piece if we miss on Bosh.
I just don't understand how Bosh is waiting on Lebron. What does Lebron have on this dude. We talking millions here - in Houston for that matter. Something isn't adding up.
This is just stupid. Other than Love or of course Lebron there is no other player that would help us more. In the words of Zach Lowe, a very respected unbiased knowledgable basketball guy, "bosh would make Houston a monster team" And it really shouldnt take one of the best basketball writers out there to point this out for fans to realize this. Bosh fits like a glove into our current roster. He is a gigantic upgrade at the 4 spot and severely lessens the blow of using Asik since he can play the 5.
He wants to play with Lebron and he likes Miami. Those are issues #1 and #2, but issue #3 is that media is probably way overhyping the idea that the Heat want Bosh to take a paycut.
