    I can't picture that either. I can see them getting rid of Jack but not the rest. Really hope lbj heads back to the Cavs..

    I know I'm late on this but I just looked at Bosh's numbers and they are great. He shot much better than Aldridge from pretty much everywhere on the court, and especially in the midrange (48% to 30% from 10-16 ft and 49% to 44% from 16 ft to the 3 point line). I also noticed that Aldridge grabbed around the same number of boards Bosh did until he played alongside a real C last season. He was around 8-9 boards a night then hopped to 11.

    I see why Morey wants him.

    According to ESPN, the third team is Boston.

    First off Miami offered him $12 million a year and he wants to be around $17 million. Bosh wants to be in Miami, and money is not everything, but he does not want to take a significant pay cut. That is all I am saying. If he can get what he feels he is wdon't in Miami and LeBron comes back then he will stay. But let's not act like the difference of $20-$40 million over a four year period is not huge to anyone. If you can't understand that then I don't know what else to tell you lol. :confused:

    Because they are one of the most inept organizations in professional sports?

    Why would we let Parsons become an RFA unless we had a commitment?

    Sometimes you have to gamble.

    In Cleveland's case, it's absolutely a gamble worth taking.

    So here's the latest I've got:

    Lebron is going to announce he's going to Cleveland and then try to work a sign-and-trade for himself with Cleveland sending out Bennett, Waiters, and other salary along with a pick or two to Miami for him. If they get that agreed to...Cleveland has another max free agent lined up to sign. Could be Bosh. Could be Melo. Could be Pau. Could be Wade. Or...it could be Love with Waiters, Bennett, Miami pick, etc. going to Minny for Love....but not Wiggins. Lebron definitely wants to play with Wiggins and Kyrie. (Just repeating what I was told on all this from a source on the agent side.)

    Yes, Bosh is the superior player. He just has a low usage rate. Also, defensively it isn't even close.

    Davis, Duncan, Love and Griffin are the only players that are arguably better than him... and other than Davis and Duncan, he is the only elite PF that plays both sides of the court.

    LeBron hasn't said he is going anywhere. If teams make moves based on speculation then that's on them. I know we like to bash LeBron but we shouldn't bash him for folks reacting to what others think he is gonna do.

    Thank you! Just hoped on twitter and read that Lebron's agent told the cavs to make room for a max contract. I don't know the cavs board but I could guess there's a ton of "it's happening gifs." If only Lebron was born in Houston.

    Kind of off topic, but this must further solidify Boston's chances of acquiring Love

    I am not bashing LeBron at all.... the truth is, he came from a very tough upbringing but has never been in trouble, has been with the same woman forever and takes care of his family and friends... seems like a good man.

    However, Cleveland is a sh1thole, and they don't have much happening... and they BELIEVE he is coming back.. and the Cavs do too... IF he goes back to Miami I wouldn't be surprised if there are riots...
