    Why is there 18 votes toward Smith?


    Clutchfans is crazy!

    Bosh is a great three point threat who can put in 30 any night he wants.

    Skill wise, Bosh.

    Say if we had J Smith at 13/14 million and Bosh with his max contract, still taking Josh Smith.

    Hats off to Morey for being prepared to make these last two moves. The man made some sweet azz lemonade out of some sour lemons from the summer. What a recovery! The team looks strong. Who cares about Bosh, he got his money.

    Smoove brings toughness and attitude that this squad can use... Bosh is a finesse player.. Other than that the contracts are a no brainer and for the record Morey would not have given bosh 5/129 it would've been only 4/88. Bosh on this team would be well worth that contract(as much as I don't like him). Smith is obviously worth way more than 1/2mill .....

    Question is what is smith worth at the end of the year as a FA??

    Bosh is the better individual player, but signing him would have hindered this team's flexibility. Plus, we have depth now.

    The question should be: Who would you rather have Bosh/Parsons or J Smith/ Ariza/ Brewer. I'd pick the former but that's a good dicussion.

    Bosh would fit better, but screw him. Two times now.

    22 million vs 2 million. Bosh does not give you 20 million more than Smith.

    You are the crazy one.:eek:

    The better question is Ariza, Sved, Brewer and Smith or

    Bosh

    Which is a no brainer. Smith is better defensively and a better rebounder but Bosh has better range. Saw more heart out of Smith yesterday than I've ever seen out of Bosh though who is a spineless turd.

    JSmoove because he is a willing defender and a good passer. I'd take players with all-around ability than a PF who is an offensive PF.

    Give me Ariza, Brewer, Smith due to lock down perimeter D. Parsons played none and that is what tips the scales. Bosh is better than Smith but as the 3rd banana he would play like he played with LeBron, not like he is playing now. The 3rd member of a Big 3 always has diminishing returns because there is only one ball. Look at Harden in OKC, Bosh with LeBron, Ray Allen in Boston, Lamar Odom with LAL, and Kevin Love now. Josh Smith's game is tailor made for the 3rd option. The problem is when he is on teams that expect him to be 1st or 2nd option. Bosh has that extra level that Josh does not. On this team though their production would be similar I'm sure so with that I'll take our current trio.

    If Dallas actually played Parsons as the 1st option instead of just paying him like it he would get the same backlash J Smoove has gotten. Lucky for Parsons he is 5th in the pecking order behind Dirk, Monta, Tyson, and Rondo when it comes to responsibility on a nightly basis.

    Why bother?

    Let Bosh sunbathe at South Beach. I don't care one single bit.

    Smith is our guy.

    If Rockets got Bosh, Morey would have been all in. Flexibility wouldn't be an issue because they were prepared to pay the luxury tax.

    Bosh would have been the better player for the Rockets
