Doc Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) If you were Bosh, where would you go and play? If you were picking, who would you rather play for and what other main FA? It seems like he is the key sidekick to get to the finals. He has stated he wants to be the main guy, but is Bosh able to do so?

Owner Real Deal Posted June 27, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I truly think he should push for a sign-and-trade to Los Angeles, for Bynum and whoever else needs to be added to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I wanna be the man and get paid and be the 1st option all the time so I go elsewhere for a boat load of cash and I can still be the 1st option while getting to rep my franchise at the lottery every year. / Bosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I think Wade and Miami makes the most sense. you have the same chance to win with Wade who's proven he can lead a team to a title but won't completely overshadow him like the LeBron hype machine would. Bosh would take a backseat to LeBron and maybe even Derrick Rose in Chicago but in Miami he'd be looked at as more important IMO and he's said that he wants to win and be "the man" and I think Miami gives him a bit of both.

reno Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I would go to chicago. The opportunity to play for my team would make me water. The chance to get to play with derrick rose, lebron james, noah, and head coach Tom Thibodeau would seal the deal. The bulls would have such a young/strong nuclei, they would be contenders for the next decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big 3 in New York would be LeBron, Wade, & Bosh.That can't happen, unless they all take much less, or the Knicks end up dealing EVERYONE or buying them out. At that point, you will probably win just 50 games with Bron, Wade and Bosh...but that's mainly because your other players will be Omar Cook, Pavel Podkolzine, Tierre Brown and Shammond Williams.

I asked this in the Knicks forum, haven't seen it answered yet... If the Knicks were to S&T Chandler and Curry for one of them (likely Joe Johnson), would that free up enough cap room for two more?

This might be what's behind the JJ to the Knicks at 12:01 rumors I'm hearing, it would make too much sense not to pursue. Far from likely, but an optimist can wish, right?!

Far from likely, but an optimist can wish, right?! EDIT: Thanks for the info, BThat could always be the plan, but New York has to realize that it could prove to be a fatal mistake. C - nonePF - noneSF - Gallinari | WalkerSG - Johnson (FA) | DouglasPG - Rodriguez Once you make that trade, you have that. If you were LeBron or Wade (or Bosh), would you be tempted to sign with a team containing a roster of five players? Literally...just five, with so many question marks as to who they will sign before the start of the season? Bosh wouldn't, because he would look at it and realize he would probably have to play center, something he stated multiple times he doesn't want. LeBron sees that Gallinari is starter-material, and playing him at the four means James doesn't have a post scorer to go to. Wade won't run the point, and Johnson wants the two...so there's another problem. At the end of the day, I think the idea to trade everything you have to bring in the superstars won't work. Miami has Beasley and Chalmers retained, and Bird Rights on Dwyane Wade. That covers three positions in the starting five already, and with an option to bring back Anthony (who's a decent defensive big man) and picking up the big men they did in the draft (which was an excellent idea), Bosh will more than likely be satisfied with what they are trying to build there. I think the Knicks just hit a brick wall when these stronger, more developed and potentially dangerous teams starting making room...and last year, I had this gut feeling it was going to happen.

Multi-Billionaire Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I hate the Lakers, but if I were Bosh, I'd go there. Push for a trade. What better situation (assuming winning 'ship is Bosh's #1 priority when the money is all the same everywhere). Obviously Bulls with Rose, Noah, and LeBron sounds like a no-brainer. But I do think with Kobe, Pau, Artest, Fisher and Jackson... it's even better since they've proven they can win champs. A must condition is: Phil returns to coach. I'd also look at Denver...

That three-headed logjam at the four would be tough to figure out. Varejao could always move to the five as a natural position, but I think that takes away a lot of his game on both ends of the court, not to mention makes the Cavaliers undersized.

If he is on the floor with Rose, Deng, and Noah, teams will pack the paint and Lebron will be forced to shoot jumpers, contested jumpers.

Varejao (who is hardly undersized at 6'11") can play both big spots and he will get his minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varejao (who is hardly undersized at 6'11") can play both big spots and he will get his minutes. On basketball-reference he's listed at 6'10'', 230lbs. The 230lbs part is the bigger issue playing at Center. It isn't like he's Dennis Rodman or Charles Barkley on the boards, either. A major issue if you're playing LA or Orlando.
