So LA, Miami, New York, Chicgao, are the teams bosh has cut the list to. If the raptors are not able to sign him, bosh’s agent decided to give the raptors a list of places bosh would like to play. If Lebron leaves to chicago or New York , bosh would lean more on going towards one of those cities. This could be like killing to birds with one stone if either new york or chicago can get lebron they can also get bosh .

Here is some trade Possibilities

L.A Trade : Bynum And Brown

Miami Trades: Draft Pick, Beasly, and James Jones

Chicago : Deng , Warrick, Draft pick

New York : David Lee , Chandler , Second round pick

Just some thoughts what do you think?

Bosh is coming to the champs. I can’t wait to see Bosh and Gasol play together. Will Bosh and Gasol become a better frontline than Parrish and Mchale? I think so

[ajthejuicemanParticipant]

chris bosh overated ill rather have boozer or stoudemire

[DNYCE]

LMAO Boozer and Amare are not better than Bosh bro, if anything Amare is overrated

[BasketballGuru24Participant]

Amare and Boozer both need a playmaking PG thats them at their best. Amare Lacks that rebounding skills and for his size and athleticism, he has improved this season but during the playoffs averaging only a little bit more then 6RPG. Boozer is good but not as good as bosh, He is a poor free throw shooter and not great of a defender.

If LA don’t win the championship this year, i see them moving bynum.

Bosh is coming to NY, I could see ny looking to add him then LBJ

[EuroBallParticipant]

They Will resign Bosh. What they need to do!

Trade: Andrea and the 13th pick to Golden St for the 6th pick. I know Golden St have to accept, but this will do good for both Teams, if this happens. Draft DeMarcus Cousin to play alongside Chris Bosh. Bosh is a Elite Big Man, who can space the floor for cousins to go to work in the post and I prefer to see him in Toronto than Andrea.

[HotSnotParticipant]

Cousins doesn`t drop to number six… what then

[HotSnotParticipant]

If the artical is really reliable and those are the 5 spots that Bosh is looking at

LA likely wont happen. They already have obscene money in their roster. I doubt they give up Bynum. I dont think Bosh really improves that frontline from where it stands right now. Odom Bynum and Gasol are as good as it gets.

Miami is hugely possible if Bosh insists on going there. Dumping Beasley and Jones (contract not guarenteed anyways) free`s up more cap space for them. I think its more likely Dorrel Wright gets included there. If T.O. is uninterested in those players Bosh might still go anyways because of the taxes. Miami can still find a taker for wright and Beasley via draft picks. They have there own number 13 ( perhaps Whiteside if he`s there ) and two second rounders in a deep draft. Cheap players are always nice. Miami would rid themselves of every contract they have except for Chalmers who is on a minimum anyways. Miami would still have enough to sign yet another Max player to add to Bosh and Wade if he resigns. If Lebron see`s Bosh and Wade on the same team and an open roster to build with plus the tax`s in his favor and beautiful climate all year round… thats pretty tempting. MIA still would have the Midlevel and Bi annual plus around 2-3 mil under the cap after three max player signings and chalmers plus this years picks. Perhaps MIA even convinces these players to take “only“ fifteen mil a season to start so that MIA can sign a few other quality guys to fill out your starting 5.

Chicago has some assets if you can dump Hinrich for a shooter. CHI really missed a guy who could create is own shot in the playoffs. BG would have been perfect or even Salmons. 2 guys they traded or let go to try and make this max slot happen. I`m not sold on Noah as anything more then a first big off my bench in the long run though. He is much better then Varejo but his shot stinks. Spins the ball side ways on his shots, no free throws and weak offensive game. Defense he struggles against the monster centers but has great heart and battles anyways. I love his passion but as a championship big its not going to happen. Rose is a great PG but not a true floor general like Deron, Nash, Billups, Paul, Rondo etc etc. Maybe in the future he will be but not today. I actually think Wade is a better PG then Rose but he is even more effective as an off guard.

NY is NY. David Lee will eat up your space and forbid a second max player… this season. Sign and trade using Lee for Bosh is possible but this team would still have to wait out Curry`s contract which puts them in a slightly less desirable position then MIA. Gallinari is going to be a stud in a few years and Chandlar is ever improving. Douglas could be a great pass first PG which is nice and I love Bill Walker.

If I was Bosh Id choose MIA provided Wade stays and even if Lebron doesn`t come to town MIA could get Boozer or Amare, although I`m not certain how they would fit starting next to Bosh as a championship lineup. Those two might still struggle against LA`s trio and your then losing your edge which would be the whole reason you pay those big bucks to “MAX“ guys in the first place.

Exactly, Cousins will not drop to 6. Cousins is going 4th to Minny. Bosh wants to win now. If the Raptors made the playoffs this year then maybe Bosh would stay. But since they didn’t, you can kiss him goodbye. I heard the raptors were going to ship Bosh off in a trade along with Turkoglu. Sorry Lakers but unless you’re willing to give up Artest as well as Brown and Bynum, then Bosh will not be coming to LA.

[ajthejuicemanParticipant]

bosh never been out the first round cant even dominate a game scared of physical contact quit on the team and they missed out on the playoffs

[sheltwon3Participant]

Toronto was not good. They had not chemsitry and could not defend. You can’t put all that on Bosh. New York and Miami look like the ones that could happen. Also why would any of these team give up anything of much value just so Bosh can get his extra year lol. This draft is loaded with big men. There is no need for teams to act desperate. CHI Town would do better to make a move for a top 5 pick because it would be cheaper and most of the early big men are more banger than Bosh.

[esperanzafleet69Participant]

chris Bosh’s agent and bosh himself have both completely denied this… seems like a fake rumor going around that somehow made it in the basketball news..

[ajthejuicemanParticipant]

bosh overated b. roy overated they will never win a title being the main star on a team

[OllstarParticipant]

Bosh and LBJ to Miami. Or Bosh Wade LBJ to Chi. These guys set it up that they’d play together all along.

[DNYCE]

Lakers starting lineup next year

Kyle Lowry
Bryant
Artest
Bosh
Gasol
Stop hating, why can’t you people read between the lines? Bosh and Derozan are coming to LA for Bynum and Shannon Brown after we win the championship.

[OhCanada-Participant]

first of all DNYCE is a crackhead but i stilll give every post he makes a thumbs up

Toronto does not want Deng and his cruddy contract

They should not want Lee because hes not a true Center which was the problem with the whole Bosh era

I honestly hope we give Bosh to Miami because not only would I rather see B Easy and some picks in Toronto but I think Bosh deserves to play with a true competitor and not a selfish player

Dwayne Wade>Lebron James

[Toronto16Participant]

Hey guys, Chris Bosh and his agent denied this report. Sounds like some ESPN made up story.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

ESPN is starting to turn into TMZ. Gossip reporting.

[ctw724Participant]

Now that the list has been confirmed by Bryan Colangelo, the GM of the Raptors, let’s talk possibilities.

Chicago can put together the best trade package, without a doubt.

AVAILABLE PARTS for a TRADE:

– Taj Gibson (1st Team All-Rookie after having 18 double-doubles this year).
– James Johnson (upside at the SF position)
– Omer Asik (shot blocking machine for Turkish team and Hedo’s friend)
– Kirk Hinrich (solid pro with only 2 years left on his contract)
– Luol Deng (solid pro with a long and big money contract)
– Charlotte’s #1 Pick in 2012 (acquired from the Ty Thomas trade)
– Chicago’s own #1 Picks (that could be 2010, 2011 or beyond)

Those are some nice pieces to offer up. No other team has quality parts to offer up like that.

Los Angeles – Bynum is too often injured and Gasol is Kobe’s boy.
Miami – Beasley is immature and isn’t living up to expectations, on or off the court.
New York – Lee is a free-agent so a trade is hard to do, especially if other teams want him.

Unless Houston gets involved, but so far they aren’t officially on the list, Chicago has the edge.

Look for Chris Bosh to end up playing for the Bulls next season.
