Andy and Delontes expiring is worth more than anything the Bulls can offer.

PG: Williams, Gibson, Telfair
SG: NONE
SF: James, Moon, Green
PF: Bosh, Jamison, Powe, Williams
C: NONE (assuming Ilgauskus and Shaq are gone)

If the cavs get bosh does that affect LBJ's signing at all? Meaning does he opt for the max deal instead of a 3-4 yr deal as is being reported.

What has Houston done to prove themselves capable of making a run for the championship? I mean the only things the Cavs have done in the past 3 years are lose in the finals, lose in the conference finals, and lose in the semi's to the team that made it to the finals.

And Houston's done what?

"Yeah well we play in the West, so losing in the 2nd round is pretty good around here! You in?"

thedynasty1998;412535 wrote:Houston won 55 games a couple years ago when Yao was healthy. They have a solid core of players and if they have Bosh alongside Yao, that is BY FAR the best front court in the NBA. People seem to think Houston is a bad team, yet they are right there at the top of the west when everyone is healthy.

SportsAndLady;412536 wrote:No one is saying Houston is a bad team...but you already said it--they're really really good and can still only make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs. No way Bosh goes there. If he does, he doesn't want to win.

back to my original question, does knowing that Bo$h is here for the full 6 years convince LBJ to sign a max deal? or will he stick with a 3-4 year deal? because if it means keeping lebron for 6 years as opposed to 3, i'd also gut the team for that.

This may have been mentioned before (I was unaware of this) but they said that Wade had gone through/was going through a divorce and his kids would be living in Chicago?

That would be a lot of $$$ to leave on the table in Miami but I've heard he (Wade) may weigh his family life heavier than the money. I don't see Bosh leaving any money on the table. Greedy bastard may even try to steal some of Wade's.

Look around, each team thinks they got something cooking with Bosh, but yet there are national insiders throwing dirt on Cleveland and Miami. Point is, nobody knows shit, and they're proving that time and time again. I can see Toronto agreeing to get a 16TPE and 2 1st's and maybe some 2nd's for Bosh to Miami before they agree to anything with Cleveland-- because of Bosh. A lot depends on what they give up for Bosh. That roster may not look as sexy when there are some nice pieces leaving just to get him. Plus, they need a center and I think they'd have to get one before he agrees to anything. That'll be pretty hard to do knowing they probably can't pay Haywood what he's looking for. I don't see JO going there because he and Bosh have proven they don't look good together.
