    I heard that the deal in the works last year was not Vince Carter for McGrady but rather Baron Davis. Since a pure 2 and back-up C are the most pressing needs for this club why not a trade Mcgrady<->Davis and Camby. Camby is expiring, and Davis' contract isnt that bad, probably can ride out Yao's career at the 2. Trade works on the machine.

    Get Bosh in the offseason and you got a sweet lineup.

    Brooks/Lowery
    Davis/Ariza
    Ariza/Battier
    Bosh/Landry/Scola
    Yao/Camby :eek:

    Sorry, can't elaborate. But I have been a season ticket holder for 18 years. Word gets around at Toyota Center.

    Given how we were all up in harms about taking Stephen Jackson's or Dalembert's contracts, why would we want Baron? It's just like Igoudala's and Baron's definitely a lot worse than him and is much older.

    So not only do you resign Scola and Camby, but you are able to find the money for Bosh??

    Ummm, no...he's more injury prone than T-Mac and his FG% and shot selection are horrible.

    Sorry but two issues with your suggestion...

    1 - B.Davis' contract is VERY bad...13, 14 and 15 mill the next 3 seasons which will limit us considerably.
    2 - We can't sign Bosh as of now without letting Lowry and Scola go soooo getting a 13 million dollar a year guy will essential take us out of that race and probably cost us Lowry or Scola.

    Love to get Camby but they will want more then just TMAC...

    If Isiah is going to be running the Clips, I could see them taking on Brian Cook and then resigning him to a multi-year 40 million dollar deal.

    Morey looked at the Davis deal.

    I think the thing that killed the deal was the length of his contract and how much money he was owed.

    Didn't happen then and it certainly isn't going to happen now.

    I think theprof is in the pudding here, and by "pudding" I mean a Friday four-martini lunch.

    And we'd sign Bosh how? Mostly I just posted in this thread so I could give it a rating of 1.
