re: Rockets benefit most from LeBron to Cavs

Not to mention Bosh is not worth 22M a year or whatever they're talking

That remains to be seen.

I watched Miami play the last 4 years. Bosh is good. But not 80M over 4 years good. Or whatever the deal is.

I agree. We'll have Bev...who knows who else.

Well that cast sounds great and all next to LeBron...except that cast finished with the 1st overall pick two years in a row without LeBron IN THE EAST.

You do realize that there is a draft lottery right?

That remains to be seen. He's still really good, and he was awesome in Toronto.

He's also 4 years older and hit 30. Everyone assuming Houston gets Toronto Bosh is kidding themselves. Even if they get close, they don't get that player.

I realize that, and you realize that the worse your record is, then the better your odds are at winning said lottery, right? Not a coincidence the Cavs have had 1st overall pick 3/4 last 4 years, they have been terrible since LeBron left.

Exactly why your opinion is invalid, because he played differently in Toronto.

So a position change warrants a max deal.

Not to mention he's aged now as well.

Maybe he proves me wrong, but I don't think he's worth 20M.

Lebron is worth 20M. KD is worth 20M. Bosh isn't.

Well he would have been maxed in Miami if he could have. He passed max deals at other places before he signed with Miami. His position remained the same, but what he was asked to do in Miami was clearly diff from what he had done the first 8 years of his career, although he still kept many aspects of his game intact. Its not like the Rockets are asking him to play a position he's never played before.

I'm not disputing any of this. I'm simply saying max deals are for the Lebrons and KD's of the world. Obviously Bosh isn't that level of a player.

eta imo

the Cavs were actually in playoff contention late last yr. not that that's saying a bunch in the East, but they weren't the Sixers or Bucks. they have a solid core that could use the type of influence Lebron will bring. I don't think it'd be at all crazy if they won 15-20 more games. they're clearly the big winners today.
