iPads are much better nowadays, so maybe we have a chance! So our pitch to LeBron will be: sign with us or we'll wreck your Miami team.
There are worse things in the world than getting Bosh. I just hope it's nowhere near the max. He is no longer worth that.

We have freaking Howard and Harden, so I believe we will get one major FA this offseason. We just need to be patient and time will tell.
Different hour so different story for Stein. Most of these writers are just looking for clicks. Ignore it.
The benefit that Bosh has relative to Love and Melo is the fact that he was able to go from being top dog in Toronto, to being 3rd option in Miami. Love and Melo both had a higher usage rate than Harden did last year. I'm not saying they can't adjust, but at least with Bosh, you can be pretty sure there won't be an actual tug-of-war breaking out on the court with Harden to see who gets to dribble the shot clock down. For Love and Melo you'd have to take it on faith that they can adapt to playing with another high usage rate player. I haven't gone back and looked, but I think both Love and Melo have pretty much been "it" for their team on offense for their entire career.
I don't like Bosh as much as other people do. But who knows, maybe i'm missing something. Still better than anyone Houston could get at the PF position and would be a good pick up for the Rockets.
Yuck. I would not waste valuable salary cap space on this over-the-hill soft ass PF that cant defend or rebound and likes to take jumpers. Juwan Howard Part deux..
