Watching those Bosh highlights makes me pissed at the player he's become. He had one shot in the paint last night

I don't think its been brought up, but maybe the ankle is still bothering him from the Pacers series?

Again, even before the ankle he was sitting out taking jumpers, so who knows. Maybe its made him even more reluctant to attack the paint.

If wade is gone lebron is gone. He went there on the cheap to win championships and to play ball with his best friend. If his best friend leaves he has no connection to that city at all. I could easily see him going back to the Cavs. They have a very good set of young up and coming talent. Give the cavs a star and they are title contenders right off the back.

I also can't see Lebron leaving the east for the west but thats just me.

The smartest basketball move would be to get rid of Dwade not Bosh but I don't see that happening b\c they probably want him to retire there and dont want to do him wrong.

Nope. They have no bench right now.

Kyrie
Waiters
Lebron
Thompson (Dunno if Andy V. would still be in Cleveland under the scenario that Lebron would return)
Noel

Solid 5, but they need a bench. It would be a slightly better version of 2011 Miami. But I'd take Chicago and Indiana over that Cleveland team.

EDIT: Scratch slightly better. Slightly worse version of 2011 Miami. Bosh > Thompson. 2011 Wade definitely > Waiters.

I don't recall it being talked about anywhere on these boards, though it may have.

He shot well, 18 of 35 in the 1st 3 games against Indy. He had the horrible, worst of his career 4 game stretch immediatley following the injury, that's probably not coincidental.

Last year in the playoffs, he was one of the guys who helped get Hibbert in foul trouble if I recall by taking him off teh dribble since Hibbert is so slow, but he couldn't do much of any of that in the final 4 games.

What, you dont think reppin the Raptors each year at the lottery would have given him more notoriety than playing in 3 straight finals?

Bosh does have a post game. Spo just wants him to play on the perimeter.


See I just don't think that is true. I think bosh is soft and doesn't want to work for his points. So instead of getting on the low block and working for shots down there he just makes Lebron make plays and then he assumes he can make jumpers. But he can't. This was how Ralph Sampsons son was in highschool. He would rather sit at the three point line then bang down low. YOU'RE 7 FEET TALL!

Bosh posting up for an entire possession does not work with how Miami runs the offense. Fast paced offense where finding the open man is key is how things usually go, and having Bosh post up on the block ruins all of that.

Dwight is going to Houston. Lakers can't afford to sign anyone in a sign and trade for him...

BUT Houston might be willing to let Asik go after getting Dwight in exchange for Bosh. Could work out in both teams' favors.

Edit:

I think Houston would let Lin and Asik go to afford Bosh. Good PG's are a dime a dozen.

Make a push for David West to replace Bosh.

He is an unrestricted free agent. I doubt he would come to miami, but I would try.

Or try to trade for Tyson Chandler.

DO NOT WANT Dwight
