The Cavaliers and LeBron James are reportedly working on recruiting Chris Bosh to Cleveland.

 

The Raptors are open to completing a sign-and-trade with the Cavaliers.

 

Chad Ford reports that Bosh and James want to play together, but while the former prefers it to be with the Bulls, Heat or Nets, the latter wants it to be in Cleveland.

 

Bosh's agent Henry Thomas has confirmed to Jonathan Abrams of the New York Times that Cleveland has been in touch with his client.

Um..... why? He should sign with the Cavs or any other team for a max contract offer.

 

3 years is long enough for Gilbert to get a 2nd star. If he doesn't he can go anywhere he wants if he declines his option. Money isn't everything...

That's really dumb, a player at the caliber level of Lebron at his age would have no reason to sign a contract less than maximum years. If he wants to leave the team he'll request the trade. You don't pass up on that kind of guaranteed money.

 

Money may not be everything to you, but you don't know what the players are thinking.

Bosh has made it clear he doesn't want to play in Cleveland even before this. Also, If I'm LeBron I'm definitely signing a 3 year deal. Give Cleveland this last chance to get you some players with a pulse and if not gtfo once the deal is up. He's gonna get another max deal afterward so IMO that's the best move he can make rather than be stuck in a 6 year deal.

Also, I'm not sure why Toronto would want anything Cleveland has to offer. I'd think they would prefer Beasley, $$ and their pick back over Verejao's absurd contract or whatever other terrible contract Cleveland would offer them. Unless they're trying to screw over Miami and Chicago.

The Toronto Raptors have not spoken to Chris Bosh since their meeting with him on Thursday and have yet to be told which team Bosh wants the Raptors to send him to in a sign-and-trade, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

 

The Raptors have prepared sign-and-trade scenarios with close to a dozen teams, but are focusing on potential deals with Cleveland, Miami, New Jersey and Chicago. Talks with the Cavaliers have not progressed to where the Raptors have requested specific players, but it’s expected they’ll want forward J.J. Hickson and Anderson Varejao.

 

If Bosh is determined to leave Toronto and still get a sixth year and extra $30 million on his contract, he’ll have to engage in a sign-and-trade with a team that can give the Raptors an attractive-enough package. The Raptors would prefer young talent and draft picks in a deal rather than a salary-clearing trade exception.

 

Raptors officials have come to think LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will stay in Cleveland and Miami, respectively, and both will be fighting for Bosh to join them.

I'd rather go for Iggy or CP3. Bosh seems like a stuck up sissy who wants it all. He thinks he some huge star. He's lucky to be in the top ten in the league imo.

 

Was he even in the third team all nba this year?

 

He needs a max contract, needs a big market, needs to play PF. This guy needs too many things. I'd rather use our trade assets on CP3.
