I have this fantasy where we sign & trade for both LeBron and Bosh. I wonder if it would be possible to sign & trade Scola, Chuck Hayes, and Jordan Hill for Bosh, then trade Kevin Martin, Battier, and our lotto pick for a re-signed LeBron. PG: Brooks / Lowry SG: James / Taylor SF: Ariza / Budinger PF: Bosh / Jeffries C: Yao / Andersen That leaves you thin up front, but I figure you can get some good size for the MLE, like maybe Brad Miller or Jermaine O'Neal.
Actually on another board that I frequent they do this very thing; a new forum reappears each off-season for off-season talk and rumor mongering.
Off-season Maneuvers 2010 Trade #1 Jermaine Taylor and 14th pick for a pick somewhere between 7th-10th, draft Greg Monroe, in addition purchase a second rd pick, and draft Lance Stephenson Trade #2 Jordan Hill and Battier/Jeffries/ Hayes + NY Picks for Chris Bosh FA Signing: C Brendan Haywood Re-up, Kyle Lowry Re-up, Luis Scola 2010/11 Roster Kyle Lowry* | Aaron Brooks Kevin Martin | Lance Stephenson Trevor Ariza | Chase Budinger Chris Bosh | Luis Scola | David Andersen Yao Ming | Brendan Haywood | Greg Monroe * Lowry starts for defensive purposes, and he would probably come cheaper if we offered him the starting spot as well --RB
This is way off topic but wouldnt it be nice if there was a designated hangout for people who were here like pre-2003? I think that would make some of the older posters quite happy. Oh and we should sign Haywood as long as he understands his backup role.
Here's my speculative opinion: Scola and Bosh cannot exist on the same team together. If we get Bosh, Scola is officially gone.
I seriously thought about posting this as an entirely new thread just because it's so silly but I suppose it may be appropriate here: "would the Rockets win it all next year if Hakeem Olajuwon came out of retirement to back up Yao?" there you have it.
I did notice that "untraceable" posted something very similar... "sorry guys for the excessive threads!"
