If the Love trade costs us Parsons, would you still do prefer it to a Bosh deal? Or is this merely you wanting to ensure we are not left alone at the altar when the smoke clears?

https://twitter.com/basketballtalk/status/485443251717955584 @basketballtalk: Bosh likely stays in Miami, however the longer this drags out the more options Bosh will have to consider. It's that simple.
I think if you can S/T Parsons for Love and replace Parsons with Brewer, than you are a much better team. If you get Bosh, and get Parsons to focus on D after he gets paid, than you are better off. I would be happy with either or.
I want to say you know something. You mentioned earlier about the Lamar Odom story, so obviously you have some semblance of a connection with the NBA web.
Honestly I'm torn on this. Love is younger and cheaper. But bosh is healthier, a better defender, and has more leadership qualities over love (which isn't saying much). It's a coin flip for me. In a vacuum though if both were FA's Love all the way.
It really depends what you get back besides Love. If you get a player who can hit the open three and play great defense, than you do it.
if Bosh commits we should sign him up asap and forget about Melo. the more i compare these two the more i think Bosh is much better for this team. Bosh solves almost all our weakness: PF, back-up center, stretch 4, pn'r defense, championship experience... he's also a better rebounder and almost as good a scorer as melo before becoming the 3rd option of the Miami big3. while ppl doubt if melo can co-exist w/ Harden, Bosh can fit right in our offense and only to help our other 2 superstars' game. also i believe Bosh possibly cost $1~3Mil./yr. less than melo would, a $65-70Mil./4yr. contract sounds fair for Bosh. if we can secure Bosh's signing soon we'll still have time to get some quality free agents left on the market, most likely via S&T with trade exceptions created by Asik/Lin trades: Pierce/Augustin/Gasol/Hill/Tucker/....
