Well, if you look at the chart, it depends which state you're in. Pretty much if there's no state tax you pay less tax in the US than Canada, if you are living in a state with state tax you pay more tax in the US than Canada.
Bosh would be PERFECT for RA Can run, can shoot, can pass, IS NOT UNDERSIZED. His defence is critisized but it will improve when he is playing with guys like Lowry and Battier instead of Calderon and Hedo.
We already have Yao downlow, we do not need another PF, we need a star wing player more, why do you guys think the shaq and amare didn't work
Why is that? Bosh is great shooter from mid range and would benefit from playing with Yao. Plus we havent had a non-undersized PF since like Juwan Howards 5000 years ago.
Here is an article in todays Toronto Sun about T-Mac and the Rockets Sports Basketball T-Mac needs to redefine his role Former Raptor, like Iverson, clinging to far-fetched notion he still can dominate and be franchise player By FRANK ZICARELLI Tracy McGrady is threatening to become the next Allen Iverson, a flawed and foolish hoopster who refuses to embrace reality. McGrady basically has forged his path out of Houston by doing what T-Mac does best -- being selfish. Like Iverson, McGrady clings to this far-fetched notion that he still could dominate and be the franchise player. INJURIES HAVE TAKEN TOLL Injuries have taken a huge toll on McGrady, who turns 31 next May when in fact his body age is closer to 41. The constant grind of playing through discomfort, of shouldering the burden, is reminiscent of Antonio Davis' time in Toronto when the undersized veteran was matched up against bigger centres. At least Davis exercised proper judgment, recognizing his days were over and called it a career. Mind you, he earned plenty of cash in the later stages of his career and an argument can be made that he never fulfilled his financial commitments, but that's another story to be told later. During the same week Iverson announces his retirement, McGrady makes waves that he's back to full health following a lengthy battle with a problematic left knee. Much like he did last season when he told the basketball word of his pending date with a surgeon to undergo microfracture surgery, McGrady never informed Rockets head coach Rick Adelman. That's two strikes on McGrady, but a third isn't necessary because he already is out in Houston. McGrady has to understand that at this stage of his career, he is no longer a go-to player. At best, he's a second option and perhaps a third option, depending on his health and the surrounding cast. Players of McGrady's and Iverson's ilk are motivated to be the best. They are convinced of their invincibility and play with an edge. But when the body begins to fray, it's time to take stock and acknowledge the obvious. Iverson became a distraction in Detroit and this year in Memphis because he refused to acquiesce. In the wake of Iverson's retirement announcement, current and former players have showered Iverson with praise. He is deserving of the accolades because Iverson redefined the guard position given his size. No player steps on to the court with a bigger heart than Iverson, whose ego ultimately led to his demise. His legacy is forever tarnished, but one cannot dismiss what Iverson accomplished. McGrady's legacy is incomplete, but he at least has a chance to redo his image. Like Iverson, McGrady has shown he can flat-out score against any opponent, against any defence. Unlike Iverson, McGrady never won an MVP award and never appeared in an NBA final. McGrady has never got out of the opening round of the post-season. When the Rockets advanced last post-season, they accomplished it with McGrady in street clothes. It's funny how careers come full circle. As a Raptor, McGrady wanted to be the man and wouldn't play the subordinate role to Vince Carter's leading role, leading T-Mac to bolt T.O. in free agency for Orlando. McGrady now finds himself in the same exact position. A team will covet his skills, but McGrady brings baggage that can be divisive. FRANK.ZICARELLI@SUNMEDIA.CA
i agree, that would be the best case scenario, but if we can't, i think it's best to improve the PF spot if the bosh scenario presents itself, pair him up with Yao, and brooks at point. Ariza is a solid guy to start at the 3 spot and if we can get a solid two guard with the money we do have, which i guess would be 5-7 mill, i think we'll be better off
can pass? are you f kidding me, obviously you've never watched him play by the way, bosh's neck is about 2 inches longer than everyone else's, so he's really 6-9
Bosh passes better than all of our bigs not named Hayes. I will take your ridiculous comment seriously: Even though Bosh's neck is 2 inches longer than everyone elses, he is still taller than all our "bigs".
that's weak bosh does not pass better than our bigs one of the knocks on bosh is that he is a poor poor passer do your homework before you even comment on a player
he's taller than our bigs. he's got some length so? he's weak physically. weak core, like our own yao ming he gets owned by every big man in the league
I really appreciate articles and the work guys put in posting them, but this last paragraph makes zero sense. Dirk is a great player with a lot of weapons and have been to the finals with a owner that will do anything to win. Duncan is still a great player that comes through in the clutch, title winning coach with talent and is a model franchise. What can the rockets offer that trumps that? A injury prone center ? A bunch of young guys that play hard? Well Sa and Dallas plays hard also and they have more talent now and they will next yr.The spurs can offer one of the best international bigs in splitter and even a sign and trade using manu. The mavs, his home city has a good wing in howard and a partial guarantee in dampier plus the owner or managemnt has shown they can close big,multiple team deals. I'm sorry, but like it has been discussed, houston is down,way down the list. Hell, miami can just outright sign him to pair with wade in south beach.
Why would the Raptors Dampier want Dampier's partially guaranteed contract when they can get expirings? Josh Howard hasn't been healthy in the last two years. He's also been a black eye for the Mavs off the court.
How is he a poor passer? Do you see him do soft bounce passes that our bigs do? Chuck Hayes is probably the one of the strongest player pound for pound, and other teams still walk into our paint for layups, you know why? Oh yea, we have no length. Quit your hatin.
Basketball is a team sport, you can have all the undersized one on one defenders you want, without some length in the middle you will give up easy shots.
how is bosh a poor passer? considering how much the raptors are putting the balls in his hands, he doesn't know how to create oppurtunities for his teammates. what is bosh's assist average? have ever watched the raptors play? the last thing we need is a PF that's not looking move the ball and weak defensively. he will not make this team better, he needs iso plays to put up the stats his putting right now. he would be effecitve next to greg oden type of centre, not with us. and no, he cannot play center for us
Ofcourse he can play center for us, if Chuck can he can . You know Bosh is a power forward right? You know Bosh is a first option? Since when are bigs required to create opportunities for his teammates other than passing out of the double team? Bosh is a good passer for a bigman. Maybe you should watch the sport before you comment on it. Bosh would be an upgrade over all of our bigs right now, even though he is weak defensively his length will prevent teams from walking into the paint like they are now. Bosh will make this team better, if you don't you are nothing but a hater.
bosh doens't even have that much length to begin with.. he's doesnt' have the tyson chandler or kevin garnett type of length and then even with the added weight this year, he is weak as ever inside and got destoryed time after time by perkins tonight you don't have a clue about what you are saying bosh and yao oh my god, forget it it'll be worst than bosh and bargnani
