I'm reading on rotoworld that there is a chance that Chicago could do a sign and trade for one of the big three and sign the other 2 to slightly less than max. Who doesn't think a starting five of rose/wade/ebron/bosh/Noah would be a slam dunk Championship team? Doubt it actually happens...
That picture is really f'ing hilarious for some reason. LMAO! Bosh is a b!tch if he goes to Chicago with Wade and honestly if those are the types of decisions he makes did we really want him on this team in the first place.
Don't worry too much guys. Chicago Trib live tweet: Both players being at Thomas' office at the same time does not mean necessarily that BOTH were meeting with Bulls at same time
What would be the point in watching the NBA if that happened. Seriously Stern would have to step in at some point if that happened.
When I heard this I had the sickest feeling. What if Chicago signs lebron and wade and then sign and trade Deng / other roster pieces / money/ draft picks for chris bosh. If I'm not mistaken Derick rose and Noah's contracts are are reasonably fair since they were drafted by Chicago. So in theory they should be able to afford this. Then they can fill their bench the the mle and lle. Certainly seems a lot more plossible than the Miami idea. Imagine a starting 5 of Noah/bosh/lebron/wade/rose Scarey
Possible scenario is Wade and Bosh end up playing together in Chicago; I think they really like playing with each other. (Miami couldn't offer SnT for Bosh and I think Chicago can.) Meanwhile Lebron is leaning towards NJ because of his friendship with Jay-Z. (Seriously, Lebron, Russia will make you a global icon???) I am beginning to pity the free agents. It's like they've been set loose in a candy or toy store. Different teams making their pitches; their heads are gonna explode with the choices and options. In the end, they will simplify their decision-making: money and winning. For Bosh, the Houston message is very simple and direct. You can get the max. Because of the SnT, you will not become public enemy #1 in Toronto. And you can win championships with our roster.
I believe Wade is going to Chi-town because he has family there and he'll likely play with Bosh. I'm starting to believe the Rockets will get leftovers.
True for Boozer but not Lee; per Draft Express vertical jump measurements. On height they're all comparable, between 6'9" - 6'10" w/shoes. Also Scola's vertical isn't listed but I'm guessing it wouldn't be higher than Boozer's vertical. Boozer: No Step Vert - 26.5" Max Vert - 28.5" Lee: No Step Vert - 30.5" Max Vert - 32.5"
They'll be good but maybe not as good as people think. Noah is not a good offensive player and Rose needs the ball to score and with both Lebron and Wade there, he won't be seeing much of it. Plus, he's not a very good outside shooter so it's not like he can just park himself at the 3 point line and wait for someone to pass it to him.
1st of all, I usually don´t coment on pure speculation, but when I see people saying questionable things, I have to state my opinion Noah/bosh/lebron/wade/rose Do you fear this team??? There is only one ball, if Rose commands the attack as he usually does, guys like lebron and wade wont have the ball, like they usually have, and on the other hand, if lebron gets to command the atack, guys like rose will have trouble, because his jump shot is as reliable as rondo´s, and no 3pt game. The 3 guys won´t play together, too much egos going around, plus their style of play demands ball in their hands, the only possible scenario is wade and Bosh, because of friendship And don´t say that a S&T with Bosh is possible, it isn´t, Toronto doesn´t want the atrocious Deng contract, and the Bulls won´t give up, overated (with huge heart) NOAH PeAcE
I'm also a Bulls fan and both Wade and Rose are among my top 5 favorite players in the NBA. From that standpoint, I could handle either Bosh or LeBron going there with Wade. For the record, I don't think there is any chance of Bosh coming to the Rockets. This is why Bosh going to the Bulls wouldn't disappoint me.
Yeah. I knew when I said it that Lee is more athletic than Scola - but he isn't exactly Dwight Howard. I stand by my assessment. Neither is a considerable upgrade over Scola in my opinion. And if the upgrade is slight to non-existent, I don't really see how it's worth disrupting team chemistry or the time it would take for a new player to adjust to the new system/team mates.
If Bosh and Wade both headed for da Bulls Morey may be able to get involved in the sign and trade for Wade by sending some pieces to Toronto and getting Deng and Taj Gibson from the Bulls.
I wouldn't really mind not getting Bosh as it means our roster stays intact. It's just the idea of H-town losing out again, this time in the free agency market, because we are not glamorous enough or some other reason. Hopefully this will be motivation for us to kick butt next year. Especially the team Bosh ends up with ...
If Bosh & Wade sign with the bulls, I think the rockets will have better chance to land LeBron. In that case, if LeBron stays in cleveland, no way the cavs would be better than the bulls, celtics, or magic. If he signs with knicks or nets, the team wouldn't be better than those three teams either. He has to come to sign with a western team. The rockets have a good chance. Of curse, I think the mavs have a good chance too.
