No, I am arguing that trading Brooks is too much for Bosh, and there is no need to include him. One 20ppg scorer for another......and it makes us weaker at a more important position. PG is more important than PF...... It is a perimeter oriented league..... Look it doesn't matter, Bosh has not even said he was interested in Houston yet....so, whatever. DD
They also had Kobe Bryant.....the lead dog, who was a perimeter ORIENTED player. How did that stud Gasol do when he was the lead dog again? Exactly. DD
Kobe doesn't play PG...even without Brooks, we still have Bud and Martin on the perimeter. And how did Kobe do when he didn't have Shaq or Gasol? Exactly.
Clearly he needs good players around him, who doesn't...that is my point, by trading Brooks and getting Bosh you are recreating the same scenario. TREADING WATER !!! DD
I agree with that. I wat just giving DD some leverage here. Believe it or not, Lowry's TS% isn't far off from AB's, despite shooting is the biggest advantage AB has on Lowry. DD is just obssessed with certain players as long as they can shoot. AB over Bosh, Wafer over Artest, etc.
Yes he is...but then our PG position is weaker.... Man...that is the point...we have solid player EVERYWHERE, use one of the redundant pieces to get Bosh..... Don't rob Peter to pay Paul...then you have the same scenario we are talking about ..... Stupid post is stupid. DD
You trade Brooks for Bosh, then you make more moves to balance the team. When a guy like Bosh is available, you GO FOR IT.
DD thinks Brooks/Scola are all-stars or borderline all-stars, and he's not going to be convinced otherwise at this stage. So it makes total sense that he'd be against a trade for Bosh that involves also giving up Brooks.
I think Brooks is indeed an all star caliber player, I think he is a better shooting Tony Parker. I love Scola, but if we are getting Bosh for him, I would help him pack his bags. DD
It's more than just that. He's also not high on Bosh, seeing him only as a "marginal upgrade" over what we have.
We have solid player everywhere, but not solid enough to win Championship. We need elite players. Bosh will make PF position elite. Bosh/Yao will make Rockets front court better than Lakers, there biggest advantage over almost every team. And trust Lowry, he'll make PG position solid again in no time. If Rockets get Bosh, Morey will use MLE on a PG instead of backup C, I guess. Chuck/Andersen is servicable in limited minutes.
If we already have Scola, then Bosh isn't a big upgrade. And you're giving up a star PG in Brooks for that, plus shelling out max money in he process. That's the thinking. I think it all comes down to how much value we put on what Brooks and Scola bring. For DD and many others, they are are big-time players.
True....we have Scola and Hill....after Landry was traded Scola averaged around 19 and 9..... So you are getting, what 6 more points and 2 more rebounds for $10+ Million more a year.... I just don't think Bosh is that great......he is a very good star player, but not a SUPERSTAR player. I can't stand Carmelo Anthony, but he would be the guy that I could see giving up some of our young pieces for, he is someone that you can build around more than Bosh is....IMO. DD
I'm sorry DD but Brooks and Tony Parker are nowhere near alike other than the fact that both are starting point guards in the NBA.
