    Heard it just a minute ago from Ric Bucher on espn2 that Raptors might have a deal already struck that will allow the Heat to have Chris Bosh while also being able to max out to other contracts. Anyone else hear it I have no link so remove if necessary.

    I thought Bosh refused to go to Cleveland? That's what ESPN kept mentioning.

    I didn't hear any players mentioned but I am almost certain I heard Toronto and Miami with some sort of deal resulting in the ability to still sign two other players.

    They're definitely getting rid of Beasley. Miami would have such a skeleton roster outside of Wade, Bosh, and Lebron if everything goes down as planned for them.

    Right now, I'm pretty sure everyone's just regurgitating rumors from before.

    Source A tells Source B who tells Source C who tells Source D that Bosh is going to Miami.

    Source E listens to Sources A-D, and say "multiple sources" makes me believe that Bosh is going to Miami.

    Daryl Morey must fitting Ric all these BS. Probably a bunch of smokescreens that is being generated by our own general manager. Ric can't make up his mind as to where Bosh and James are going, lol.

    Toronto has a deal in place for about 6 teams, it all depends what Chris decides.

    Bucher wouldn't be saying it himself if that were the case, they'd just have the SC anchors mention it. Bucher, Broussard, Stein, etc talk to their own sources and feel good about what they're saying before taking it to the air.

    Toronto media "downplayed" the Miami reports yesterday - a far cry from denying them.

    It sounds a lot like they do have a tentative deal in place (including Beasely and Chalmers)....but that also doesn't mean that they're pulling the trigger.

    Actually, it just sounds like Toronto has a deal in place with EVERYONE. Basically, Bosh names a team, and Toronto will trade for that team's package.

    So the rumor is right. But it would also be correct if they said "Raptors-Rockets deal in place" too.

    It took Bucher until this morning to even utter the word "Rockets".....he knows nothing more than any of us at this point. This is the same dope that was saying how the Knicks trade for T Mac all but assures that the Knicks probably already know that Lebron is coming.

    This am Bucher had a 5 minute segment on ESPN which he said that Chic , then Mia then Houston is the order of destinations....then ended the same segment by saying that you really cant tell who is in the lead. He's a joke...as is Broussard.
