[Marc Stein] Houston Rockets could join Chris Bosh chase

Chris Bosh = 15mil + PLAYER OPTION
Yao Ming = 16mil + PLAYER OPTION

Toronto would only consider trading Bosh because they are affraid Bosh might DECLINE his player option.

Want me to expalin more? I think it is pretty straightforward..

 

i think some forget scola only makes about 3 mill, so although talent wise he seems a good fit to be the centerpiece of a bosh trade, he's not a good fit money wise. If yao or tmac arent involved, battier pretty much has to be, and that's just 10 mill, still need about 5 more for bosh. I just dont see why Toronto gives up resigning bosh or 15 mill expiring this summer for 2 guys that are too old for them, which includes 7 mill that won't expire this summer (battier).

Toronto won't pull the trigger on this unless it's involving Yao, tmac, or landry. Tmac expires this year, Yao not until next year but it's a lot of money at once to play with, and landry's value is in his potential.

Brooks is out of the question unless we're taking back jack or calderon somehow..

 

I must admit, you went outside the box of what you normally post. That was pretty good, really damn good!

 

Goodbye Brooks I think.

He's not really needed if you get Bosh, you'd need a more conservative PG to start like Lowry. Rockets would still have shooters like Buds and Battier (and Ariza on some nights)

 

What guarantee is there that Yao Ming will be able to be productive for the Raptors? He won't even be able to sell tickets if he goes down again.

 

Er. Um. Ya.
How'd that trade for Drexler work out again?

 

Exactly!

They can't even guarentee Yao will accept his player option.

 

I do not like Bosh. He is soft, mentally and physically.

 

I'm sorta in the same boat as you. Aquire Bosh but then you also have McGrady's contract left to try and go get another piece, which as you said, a SG to take his spot.

 

Even if I agreed with this, most fans would revolt unless either Taylor is substituted for Budinger or, at worst, we got Bellinelli with Bosh.

 

If fans revolted after getting Iggy and Bosh w/o giving up Yao then they need to get thier heads checked.

 

from every sides,bosh is far over luis and carl.so if we can get this guy with the cost of only luis ,i would do this deal immediately.

with yao and bosh in our frontcourt,this would be at least amony the best duos in the league.yao would also be much easier to fight in down low area with the aid of bosh.moreover yao would be more dominant than before .we will change into an instant title -contender.

 

Yao + Bosh = the softest frontcourt ever in Mankind history!

 

Hey, I hate to rain on the parade of numbers, but Lowry is 23, one of the youngest players we've got. Thought someone should point that out. And reading that Dalembert is part of "a fantastic core of 25 year(s) olds" seems a bit of an oxymoron. Dalembert is more like a slug with a rediculous contract. The rest... Brooks, Iggy, Ariza, Bosh, Landry, and Hayes make a nice core, as does Yao, of course, if he can play. I didn't see Air Bud in your lineup, where he would certainly belong, if he didn't go out in some deal. A good group of young talent. Some holes, but something to really build on. I just don't see how we could arrange that.

 

Iggy or whomever still needs a backup, and I'd much rather have Air Bud or even Belinelli than Taylor. Taylor is a waste of pine.

 

Sorry but no his not, Budinger is 2 yrs younger, and Taylor is several months younger...... :grin:

Scola, Battier, Cook and Taylor for Bosh and O'Bryant.

 

I don't want to see yao go, but toronto has a very large and strong chinese community. Yao could be a big draw for them. Its been pointed out before that there are a lot of financial benefits to having yao on the team. I really want to see a yao bosh frontline happen in houston.

 

Okay I miss read, I thought you said THE youngest, sorry

Im aware of Lowry and Dalemberts ages. In my particular scenario Lowry was moved in the Bosh deal and Budinger in the Iggy deal. Obviously Dalembert is not part of the "core", he is just a bad contract we have to eat. The chart I listed was not a core chart, it was every player we would have left lol. The point I was sharing with Leeb, which I probably didnt articulate well, was that it makes sense to move Yao in that scenario for youth, but not really for Bosh.
