    I don't understand why he thinks he can get more exposure with LBJ or D.Wade, we have the most internationally exposed star in the league. Have you ever been to China, Chris? The agent sounds like a meddling douche, or an agent, hopefully his thoughts don't weigh to much on this decision.

    Wade can play for free but it doesnt matter bc Bosh can only get the max if Miami does a S&T....and Toronto already said no to Beasley and whoever

    lol...who cares if he has a camera following him around? He's making a documentary on the process.

    Heck, I'd love to have a camera following me around and showing me talk to patients and filling cavities....that doesnt mean Im going to treat my hygienist any more poorly or that Im not going to give my best effort during any given procedure.

    He said he wanted the Max but the years wasn't decided....That's my whole point. You can sign for the MAX for 5 years. Bosh is telling everyone he wants a SnT. I think if Chicago can get LBJ, they'll trade Noah for Bosh.

    A diva for being media friendly? What does that make Morey?

    There's no way he's bringing along a camera crew unannounced and without permission from his suitors. If they don't like why grant it. It's some kind of smokescreen.

    FA Documentary? Okay, Manny Ramirez.

    Still? I'd take him at the max.

    Yao/Miller
    Bosh/Hill
    Chase/Patterson
    Martin/Taylor
    Brooks/Lowry

    Potent scoring, and balanced if Patterson converts to the 3 instead of the 4.

    apparently chris bosh is paying attention to the media...his latest twitter response

    "I don't film my meetings. I am a professional. Having control of your own media is a distraction, but when other networks do it, it's not?"

    Beasley is a big risk for anyone just to take.

    I like Deng a lot but not at the money he's getting. The Clippers should try and work a trade with Chicago for him.

    I find it laughable that the same teams that are preaching to free agents about being in a more marketable city....more recognizable because of more media coverage etc are the same ones complaining about the cameras...lol

    We need to really let Battier go, should have done it 2 seasons ago.

    I really don' think Toronto wants Ariza nor will Daryl be willing to take on Turk's contract to get Bosh.

    I trust him. I hope Bosh realizes these teams are trying to make him look bad in an attempt to gain leverage. The Rockets are showing him the love.

    Patterson is too big to play the three effectively for long stretches. He'll have trouble staying in front of SFs when they change direction.

    Crazy talk. I hope he IS an attention w****. You know what gets people's attention? Championships! It's easy to blame espn for not giving the Rockets love on sportscenter and the mag, but winning garners exposure. Bosh = more winning IMO.

    So what the dude has cameras following him around? It worked really well for the Bengals PR this past offseason. Welcome to the 21st century. Bosh is just utilizing the media available to brand himself. What do you think we have been doing with Yao the past several years?

    What's funny is these teams are trying to use Houston as leverage as well. We know Bosh and his agent are to but these other teams have no assets at all. Chicago has Noah and Gibson which are great assets but trading Noah would hurt that team. We might see three team trade...

    That video nonsense reads exactly like the spin a team would give if they felt they weren't going to acquire a player that many of their followers expected them to get. Really hope that's the case...

    So is any team after Brewer now?

    I think that is pretty important considering the scheme of things..

    It's rubbing me the wrong way with all of the tweeting he does, etc. I am guessing Morey is "all in" at this point on Bosh, but I wonder how much this aspect of Bosh has played into the Rockets pursuit.
