[NBC Sports] Raptors' preference for a Chris Bosh sign-and-trade

If they get anyone its probably our rookie powerforward and Hill and perhaps Battier and Scola and that alot already. Maybe even Knicks picks too and that should be enough for any team to swap. You could even take off Scola from that and insert Budinger or whoever and that would be a great get for the Raptors and more than they would recieve if he goes anywhere else.

 

Yep, I try to do the same thing so I won't get flamed except no one seems to notice them tucked away in older threads. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

 

Battier, Jeffries, and Hill for Bosh. No way I'd give up AB. I'd consider giving up Scola in the mix, since him and Bosh play PF, but no AB.

 

SAY NO TO BOSH! If this is what they want for Bosh then we ain't getting him folks, Morey's not that stupid. The only way they get what they want is if Morey has another deal for another star up his sleeve after this sign and trade for Bosh.

 

Screw that... No chance in hell I'd give up Battier, Scola, and Brooks to get Bosh. That's entirely too much.

 

The Toronto Raptors has talked to six to eight teams willing to do sign-and-trades for Chris Bosh(notes), but front office sources says general manager Bryan Colangelo has ruled out bringing back the expensive contract of Bulls forward Luol Deng(notes).

Deng has four years and nearly $50 million left on his contract, and the Bulls have been dangling him as part of sign-and-trade possibilities involving Bosh, LeBron James(notes) and Joe Johnson.

Colangelo is working on possible deals, but Bosh ultimately has to want to go to the teams. Besides Chicago, Miami, New York and New Jersey, the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are determined suitors for Bosh.

ESPN last night talked about the possibilty of Wade, Lebron and Bosh altogether in Miami. Ric Bucher said that it wasn't going to happen because:

a) Wade has a ring and Lebron doesn't. Lebron doesn't want it to look like he's can't get a ring on his own so he has to go to Wade.

b) Bosh doesn't make as much money in endorsements as Wade and Lebron so Bosh prefers a Sign and Trade to make up for it

c) If Bosh gets a Sign and Trade to Miami then he would be the highest paid player of the three and "teams usually pay the most money to the best player" so the trio in Miami is not going to happen.



So maybe that's a sign that we might be in the mix because Bosh prefers a sign and trade?

 

Scola + Hill + Jeffries + rights to Sergio Llull + one of the Knicks first round draft picks (2011) for Bosh. I think that works. Patterson would be Bosh's backup.

 

My thoughts exactly.. Wade will have one more than they do, no matter how many rings they get together. Same with the money situation

 

That's a CD-type of trade; and CB is not the only TX native son. If we are still speculating, I prefer Horford or Aldridge.
