    To be honest, this is the first time in years that we've had a solid 5 AND a great backup 5.

    Getting Howard would create a backlog at the 5.

    Camby's expiring. Dalembert's non-guaranteed.

    Say no to Bosh. He is not what the team needs anyways. I don't like his game, he tends to disappear a lot in games.

    So, you wouldn't want the best center in the NBA just because we already have 2 older declining servesable centers already?! I suppose you don't want DWill either because that would create a log jam at the point or LBJ because we already have a log jam at the 3.:confused:

    On the contrare, when LBJ & Wade were out, Bosh stepped it up.

    Who would Clutchfans like? :)

    Bosh - nah, not what we need.
    Iguodala - nah, overpaid.
    Gasol - nah, old and overpaid.
    Dwight - nah, too much of a diva.
    Carmelo - nah, not a real superstar.
    Deron - nah, we got Dragic and Lowry.

    I'm sure I'm missing a few guys.

    What do we need? Who do we need? What would satisfy you? :p

    Haha, I'm sure there is a reason there too to not want LeBron.

    Nah, we got Chandler Parsons. :p

    Nah, he's a choker.

    If you can get Bosh for Lowry and Scola you should do cartwheels.

    Sorry, your first trade won't work. Dwight makes $19M next year, Lowry and Parsons only about $6.7M combined. If the Rockets keep the cap holds of Dragic and Lee in order to resign them, they'll only be able to absorb about $5.87M extra in salary before they hit the salary cap.

    Not to mention, on top of that, in your scenario you'd have to clear another $17M+ to sign Williams.

    Miami, couldn't win with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh...so what exactly would we do with Bosh and trash? This trade would make absolutely no sense. In a way, this trade almost mirrors the Gasol trade, except we get a slightly younger, softer player. The only benefit I could potentially see in this deal is that it actually makes us worse as a team, therefore theoretically raising our chances at obtaining a higher draft pick....ahhh I see what your doing Morey...

    No, thanks. Bosh has been a guy who can't take the burden of being the best player on a team. Bosh would be a great 2nd best if you've already had a great player in the first place.

    Interesting. Because I was against trading for Bosh but then liked his game a lot when he came to Miami, his performance last year and this year on the Heat showed he's a legit superstar. Its that DM put that offer on the table but I don't know if Lowry and Scola would be enough for Bosh. Probably need to add our lottery pick as well and even then its a tough sell.

    BTW this post is about Bosh, please don't bring that Howard crap here.
    BTW:

    1. DH is having back problems. You want Yao Ming part 2?

    2. DH would only be a rental. Yeah let's give our best players for half a season of injured dwight howard

    3. DH is a diva and a locker room cancer.

    The point I was trying to make is that if Bosh alone isn't enough to put us over the top of well anything, especially if we lose our two best players. I was alluding to the fact that it's going to take a lot more than just Bosh to turn this bad boy around, and honestly it wouldn't be worth it for the Rockets to go after B-Level talent when it takes a combination of A-Level talent to get it done.
