This list is being denied by everybody.

ESPN is doing their best to make it seem like doom and gloom for Cleveland, which is why I ahven't watched a single minute of ESPN outside of actual games.

I didn't know the sign and trades had to be of equal money. I thought you could get whatever.

Ferry pulling a rabbit out of his hat for Bosh? Yea right.

Plus I've always heard Bosh is tighter with Wade than Lebron, so Miami makes more sense than Cleveland to Bosh, plus, it's MIAMI!

It wouldn't be much of a magic trick.

Toronto stated they (rumored) wanted a young front court player in return and cap relief, plus future draft considerations.

Cleveland can offer both.

Will it happen? Unlikely, but it's possible.

This is what I've heard also. Doesn't matter whether he goes to play with LBJ, Wade OR Melo, NONE of these young guys, IMO, have the sack to win a championship. I know Wade has one but I'll attribute that to the Shaq Factor.

Come on BR...Wade got Shaq that title if your giving it to either. He put up Jordan like numbers in that final.Ill attribute Shaq more to helping him make a final, but Wade took that series over.

Shaq won't be in Cleveland with or without Lebron. He is a free agent and will take the biggest check he can get, he won't get that check from the Cavs.

The "no one wants to come to Cleveland" bullshit is just that...bullshit.

Get the ESPN dildo out of your ass, they've literally forced you to believe that because like I've said a million times, they want LeBron out of there for THEIR benefit. For realzzzz, I could write a book on the topic but I'm too lazy. I'm not touting Cleveland as the greatest destination, but guys aren't like, "I could go play with LeBron, but fuck that Cleveland sucks". LOL, some of you have literally been brainwashed by ESPN, it's kind of funny.

I wouldn't give up anyone for bosh either.

BTW the salaries in a sign and trade don't have to match, depending on Torontos cap room.

Well the Lakers certainly don't need Bosh. So I would say the same if I were a Laker fan.

The ESPN statement about my opinions of Cleveland are dumb. I've been to Cleveland and can form my own opinion and to me, I don't see if desireable.

As for not giving up anything for Bosh, why not? One Bosh is paired with some talent and is out of Canada, he is instantly a top 5 big in the NBA, only because no one knows of him or sees him play now.

No, obviously they'd like to keep Bosh, but if Bosh opts out and wants to go somewhere else, they'd rather get Mo, Delonte, Hickson, something rather than nothing.

I doubt it happens too, but Bosh wants to play with Lebron, so I could Ferry pulling a rabbit out of the hat like he has before.
You think they'd rather get those guys, and I don't. I don't think they would want to pay Mo that kind of money, nor the headcase of Delonte. If Cleveland gets a top FO, I think it's Amare through a trade. If he says he wants Cleveland, I think they might possible take Jamison and Boobie to stay in the playoff hunt until Nash leaves them in a year or two.

Bosh has told friends and family that he will not play in Cleveland(per the fan today)

Bosh has also said that if Lebron signs anywhere but Cleveland...he will sign the same place

Yeah and Brett Favre said he was done with football how many times?

I don't believe anything a pro athlete says until it's official in a press conference.

Dude, you're so full of shit.

Bosh NEVER singled out Cleveland. Of course Bosh won't "sign" there because the Cavs don't have the cap room you idiot.

He'd have to be part of a sign and trade.

My goodness, the overall NBA IQ level on this board (save for a good few) is rather low.

Bosh is not enough to win a title in Cleveland..

You need a PG who can really play PG,who is a pass first shoot second player

You also need a half-way decent bench...which you don't

Bosh would not fix everything,there are alot of things to fix before you will sniff a title

You put Bosh on this Cav team with LBJ and I would love their chances.

No one can say what would happen with Bosh. We've never seen LeBron play with another "A player". Bosh is an A player. But I don't like moving for Bosh, we have Jamison--why get Bosh? I think the money he would cost could be allocated somewhere else to make the team stronger.

But LeBron/Bosh would instantly become the best duo in the league.

First off, the Cavs don't have a prayer to get Bosh, similar to the Chris Paul talks.

But since it's being discussed for some reason, I'll add my input.

If the Cavs have any chance of getting Bosh (similarly to Amare) you do whatever it takes to get him. You then have the best 1-2 punch in the NBA.

Secondly, Jamison isn't in the same league as Bosh.
