Is the NBA going to let Bosh play for both teams?




I wasn't speaking of both moves happening. I was suggesting that the hypothetical Houston team (including Bosh) would be better than the hypothetical Heat team with the "big three".

He says the $96 million is what Melo's max would be. Bosh's is 4 years, $85.5 million.


Bosh's max shouldn't be any different than Melo's.

This is correct. They entered the league in the same draft. Max contracts are based upon years in the league and if you're signing with your current team or a new team. If both players sign with a new team (don't sign and trade), then they can get the same max.

Not sure if either were affected by the Rose rule, which could allow Melo to have a higher max.

Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne Important point on Bosh: He's waiting on direction from LeBron, source says, not the other way around.

Yahoo! Sports reports the Heat have their first FA catch: Josh McRoberts for 4 yrs at the full midlevel (~$5M per).

Not applicable in this situation.

There is a guy on a Rockets message board who knows everything there is to know about salary cap issues and whatnot.


Since we're on the topic of Rockets message boards, is that CyberX dude on clutchfans legit?

I remember seeing his posts over there during the Dwightmare part 1 and part 2 and he seemed to really know his shite. Just curious.

Not true. Melo made more than Bosh last year, raising his max salary.

The Rose rule (I believe) only effects players coming off of their rookie deals. Either way, it wouldn't decrease the max that Bosh could receive. The calculations I made on Bosh are independent of Melo's deal.

He seems to be. He was also vouched for by the owner of the site, who is also a media member... so there's that, too.

I thought that teams can't use both cap space and MLE. What if big 3 leave? Can they change how they pay McRoberts from the MLE to cap space?

Heat gave McBob the full MLE.
