    It's not 6. My claim is that he's been a top 10 player for 4 years (3 seasons because of the injury 12-13 season). This past season, I consider him to have become a top 5 player where his team was good enough to be a 48 win team in a historically tough Western Conference. Plenty of great players have had 3+ losing seasons while they were top ten players.

    Bosh has been the stretch 5 in Miami already.

    Maybe people don't realize this?

    I understand the love for LOVE
    the issue is .. .
    Bosh in the hand versus Love in the bush

    The question is . . . Which is more POSSIBLE?
    Love trade seems like it would require alot more work and luck
    Bosh might just fall into our laps

    Yep, but again: you think he will play that well again this year? I for one do not. Fewer minutes, lower PER, etc. Last year saw his lowest PER, lowest win share, and highest turnover % in six seasons. He hasn't played 70 games for four years running.

    So I'll stick to my point. Wade is a critical part of the Heat, and he will be worse this coming year than he was this past year. He will contribute less. That's biology and it's natural. It's a big deal when thinking about the prospects of the Heat, especially when considering a multi-year deal with the team.

    Unless Bosh turned into a tall white guy with tattoos I don't know what you're talking about.

    Sometimes you got to fight through the bush if you want some love.

    This is starting to drag out wayyyyyy to long, at what point does Morey say ok lets take a long at the Love & Rondo situation again. Im sure Morey would rather sign Bosh pr Carmelo out right and keep our picks and international players, but Carmelo isnt sure where to go and Bosh is crying about staying with Lebron. This is one of those situations where Morey is working behind the scenes working on a trade while everything is at a stand still and Boom Rockets announce a trade!!!!!

    Birdman played 18 minutes a game last season. LeBron was usually slotted at the 4 with bosh at the 5.

    According to 82games.com, Bosh played 80% of the available Heat center minutes this past season and 22% of the available Heat PF minutes. He's been mostly a 5.

    Well that's why playing in Houston should be great for him. He wouldn't have to play more than 18 minutes a game at the center position.

    McRoberts is a good signing but Granger said the same thing last year joining the clippers. He's washed up

    Bosh didn't like banging down low. Dude has admitted he isn't up for defending bruising post players. Other than that, NBA positions are just labels

    Bosh never has to be the bottom in Houston.

    Just labels? I guess that's why we were so great at backup center when Asik was "injured"....wait.
