They are in the East. They may be a top 4 seed still even without LeBron after adding Luol Deng. Let Bosh go. It was a great and exciting feeling for that hour or two when we thought we had him, but it's over. On to the next one.
Bosh had a perfect chance to be a Houston Rocket twice. He doesn't want to be here. I don't want players on the team who want to be somewhere else.
They won't "implode" this season unless you define that as finishing as a lower seed. Bosh on a 5-year max contract will be untradeable. Dumb thread.
What exactly would we trade to match salaries with Bosh? I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed for good.
Has OP seen the shape of the eastern conference lately? Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Luol Deng are gonna be the number 4 seed and play LeBron's Cavs in the first round.
I have. Have you see Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng recently? Two fifteen point per game scorers from here on out. Dwyane Wade as a defender is finished, Deng isn't far behind, and Bosh, while a good defender in his own way, isn't going to protect the rim from that lunch line to the rim. Add to that, Deng and Bosh aren't high percentage scorers either.
What would we even have to give up to acquire him? Why would Miami trade him here when they could trade him somewhere that could give them better assets? They'd have him for four more years, they have plenty of leverage in that trade unless he just sucks it up this year and they are still better then a lot of teams in the East. I don't think they'll go too far in the playoffs, but they'll easily make the playoffs
It's the East. They will continue to be a playoff team. Hell, the Vipers could probably be a playoff team in the East.
After 2 season, the Heat will see the error of their ways. And will look to amnesty Bosh at some point. Because with that contract, whos going to trade for him? Bosh is a 3rd star. He isn't the franchise - what did Toronto ever do with a young relevant Bosh???? UHMMM, excatly. He's a HOF, like Scottie Pippen a complimentary piece, but not the big horse. But I won't blame Bosh for taking 30 million dollars more. He'd be a fool not to take the money!!! Quite frankly Miami got desperate and gave hime the extra year of Money he was craving!!!
