[ESPN]Bosh's wish list of teams[Updated: Bosh agent claims list not complete]

Who cares?!
Bosh is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overrated on this board!
I don't understand the bosh-fetish at all.
To me, he isn't a lot better than scola.

 

Bosh is such an attention w****. Even worse than T-Mac.

 

Scola is servicable. That's it. He's not a star.

 

For one, Morey and the Rockets aren't stupid like Ferry and the Cavs to the point where they're going to give Scola crazy money. Even though he's stated the Rockets intend on matching any offers Scola gets, Morey knows that the market for Scola won't be that high considering he's "old" and has mileage on him from international play.

The concept here--trying to think outside the box--is that Morey will match whatever offer Scola gets while adding on a Max player in Bosh. Lets say Scola signs for 8-9 million a year and you add Bosh for another 14 or whatever max will be. You're putting almost $25 million a year into one position, and this isn't adding onto the fact that Battier will either need to be re-signed or replaced, Yao will have his extension coming up, Brooks getting a raise soon, etc.

That Amare for Scola/Battier trade that got killed in the 11th Hour was something I would have supported because it not only got us All-Star power forward (diva attitude be damned) but also left us an opportunity to re-sign Amare and have Jordan Hill develop playing back up...which is significantly cheaper than having an $8 mil backup to a max contract starter.

This happens every year during free agency. Just because they're available doesn't mean that the Rockets have to simply acquire a free agent just because it'll be the en vogue thing to do. Morey's smart and I'm sure he's not going to want to get in any kind of bidding war for Bosh because he has the luxury of re-signing and keeping Scola and also because he can make a wow-that-was-out-of-left-field move that he's been known to make.

I can't argue with that but just because some team will overpay for talent doesn't mean the Rockets will follow suit. Morey's proven this to be the case for a while now. If anyone brings up Ariza as overpaying for talent, I'm sure Trevor's true value will come into light next year when Yao comes back and Martin gets more situated with the team.

 

I'm hoping it's Danny Granger.

 

If it's any position we can upgrade on, it's the SF position. If people on this board thinks that Scola is better off being a back up, then what do they think of Trevor Ariza's performance this season?

 

He did say early on that he said he didn't want to play in Texas. That somehow morphed into Dallas specifically but it was Texas in his words.

 

Can you do a comparison of Bosh and Gasol also?

 

Of course I can but I'm pretty sure you already compared it yourself right?

 

Granger isn't a free agent. He can't threaten to leave the Pacers unless they do a sign and trade.

 

Nope, I am betting his stats are closer to Gasol's especially his Memphis years.

 

Where did I mention Granger's name specifically? I simply said that the 3 spot is the position that the Rockets should try to upgrade the most over any other position.

 

Lebron?

 

And you would be correct though I'd give Gasol a bit more credit on the defensive end. Gasol's a great player but his recent success has been due to becoming a 2nd option in LA. I hope you can at least agree with me on that.

 

Hey, if we're going to dream, might as well do it big right? :grin:

 

Bosh not coming is really quite fine- perhaps not ideal, but fine.

With the Nets not snagging the 1st pick, that opens ALOT of potential- especially with the sixers and twolves being 2 and 3.

The acquisition of Bosh would have been nice, really nice. However, I would be far more excited at the possibility of trading up to grab Demarcus Cousins.

If we found a way to retain Budinger, Hill, and snagged Cousins..that would be a seriously youthful team off the bench. Way more exciting than Bosh.

Oh, and way to go Scola for just taking it as it comes. Bosh? yea big deal...I'll split time. Oh look at that, no Bosh..Scola your job is still yours.

 

If we sign Bosh without giving up Hill, i am 100% sure we won't resign Scola, you can't have 9M on the bench

The Amare trade was different, reports say that the trade didn't happen because Amare didn't guarantee that he would resign with the rockets, the physicall test was BS.

But you ask me, i prefer giving max deal to the overrated Amare and Boozer or Bosh??

If you saw how they play instead of looking at numbers you would understand

90% of AMARE/BOOZER ofensive production are based on 2 of the best passing PGs in the league

You don't have that PG in Houston, AB as no court vision/passing skills comparing to Nash or Dwill. Bosh makes all his points without any help.

just look at dhoward, if he had a steve nash he would drop 40 a night, just because nelson is as limited as AB creating for others

just look at cp3, he is probably that can make tyson chandler score more then 10 pts

Bosh doesn't need a great PG to be productive, Amare and Boozer need, having said Bosh would be the best fit AVAILABLE

 

Well, I think the Rockets need an all-star player to contend. LeBron is the best choice!!!

I don't like the other SF free agents out there.

Finley is old.
Stephen Graham isn't going to make an impact.
Joe Alexander is awful.
Kleiza won't make a difference for the Rockets.
Devean George is inconsistent and mediocre.
Steve Novak was a flop in his first stint with us.
Outlaw would be nice, but he isn't enough of an impact player to change the Rocket's playoff fortunes.
Rudy Gay is a good player, but he hurts the team too much defensively with Martin already at SG
Dorrell Wright is just another roleplayer.
Pavlovic is a roleplayer on a bad team.
Jarvis Hayes is bleh.
Trenton Hassell is roleplayer on an awful team.
Bobby Simmons has fallen off the cliff since he got Most Improved.
T-mac- no need to explain.

I don't think there is any chance of Lebron wanting the Rockets.

 

No Bosh. The guy is not a franchise player anyway.

 

lolol

you love numbers right, why don't you tell me what was our record when Ariza was injured???

Did you see the last part of the season???

Ariza is probably the most balanced player we have, talking about Ofensive/defense production, you know it easy to drop 30 every night when you just don't waist energy defending your man, just ask Monta Ellis (aka AB/Scola/Martin (rockets versions))
