    Good job OP.

    I really like the idea of involving Orlando and Gortat. Hadn't thought about him possibly being available. But Toronto needs a big man and if they like him, the deal for Bosh makes a lot of sense and still leaves us with our picks to get either Lebron or Wade or possibly somebody else like Chris Paul.

    some more thoughts:
    1. Raptor will certainly prefer to SnT Bosh to West, 1 plus point to us.

    2. Bosh wants to play with a good C, Howard is the best C when not playing against Yao, :). I am wondering how come Magic is not in the game at all. Is it because they don't have any expiring contracts, young talents and high picks?

    3. One thing I don't understand, why we are not even invited by Lebron to speak to him till now? I can't imagine Lebron's team has never thought about Houston's roster, the chips we have and the monster China Market behind Yao? Lebron was in China during the Olympic Games, was he not impressed?

    4. a bit more on China Market. If I am not wrong, China is already the biggest and fastest growing market for Nike and Kobe is still THE star there. I think Kobe is in Shanghai now for the EXPO 2012 and will be there again in August. The only way Lebron can catch Kobe is to play with Yao. Also, China is also the fastest growing market for Coca. I believe the sponsors will somehow influence Lebron's decision.

    5. last but not the least, the more I think about it, the more I want to salute to Morey, he is a Magician that from no where pull out so many assets in less than 3 years. But for someone like him, GM is certainly not the ultimate target. I fully believe he wants to be Jerry Colangelo, at the minimum.

    yeah the rockets give up 2 dead weight players = bosh. magic give up a pretty good center and 2 1st round picks and = scola.

    not sure they are gonna go for that buddy.

    I think Lebron would have talked with Houston already if any of this was even close to being a possibility.

    The other obvious issue right now is Toronto is a little bent and is saying they will not do a SnT. I think this is a smoke screen just to try and get the max return offer possible for Bosh. They know he wants the max and a team is going to have to offer up something enticing to get it done.

    Raptors want something instead of nothing for Bosh but can't come out say that even though everyone knows it.

    Sign and trade is not that easy. Just like Toronto, why they want to spend the "all-star player" salary just get couple role players back?

    It is more likely to do a 3 teams trade, if Morey can find a team wants to dump their all-star player contract but not interested in Bosh, and Toronto wants that all-star player.
