Lakers and Chris Bosh have mutual interest?

[AdonisDeMarion]

I wonder what a front court of Bosh and Gortat would hold well. In my head I see it playing out nice

[dockingsched]

bosh played a huge majority of his minutes at center this yr and last yr he played almost zero pf minutes. 2 yrs ago was his last playing significant pf minutes and even then he played slightly more at center. he's a center now. 9 of miami's top 10 lineups with bosh are with bosh at center. he shouldn't be slotted next to a pau gasol or a marcin gortat. doing so is totally ignoring the player that bosh actually is.

I dont think its a big deal if he plays C or PF, he can shoot and spread the floor thats all that counts he play both and IF Pau is there they could play off each other quite well. Bosh doesn't seem to like being the post anymore anyways so leaves plenty of space in the paint for Pau. As for Bosh, I would think he only "considers" leaving if they lose this year to Indy or worse case Bk. He is the lame duck in that big 3, his stats are ugly all across the boards, I know stats dont matter in his case but if they do lose he will get the majority of the hate due to his lackluster #'s for sure, he has always been the scapegoat because you can't blame the "king" and Wade is a Heat lifer.

I can see him have a pretty good high low game with Pau in the low post and Bosh in the high post. He's not really lost any quickness and has a habit of taking defenders off the dribble quite often, not to mention his midrange game. We will inevitably play a much slower offense to accomdate Kobe and playing a couple of big men together shouldn't be an issue as long as the floor spacing doesn't suffer.

Bosh outside of Miami could be a revelation. Might be one of the only bigs in the league capable of putting up 20 and 10. On top of that, highly underrated for his defence.

Might be the most effective player LA can get? I'd prefer him to Carmelo Anthony.

[Dr Aki]

miami has the wing defenders to be able to allow bosh is shine on defense.

i don't think it gets mentioned enough, how hard it is to actually get the ball inside against miami with their PnR defense and tall wing players that hinder all manner of post entry passes.

bosh wouldn't enjoy playing defense on this laker team

I'd think we would hate him more than Pau on that end ...when the whole problem all along was and will be the perimiter guys like Kobe/Nash/Metta ALL stunk on that end.

[Destructor]

I can't see this happening unless Bosh stops caring about championships.

[crazyeights]

Pretty sure this is being floated by his camp to tighten the screws on the Heat.

[Mamba Venom]

If Lakers trade Bynum in 2010 for Melo or Bosh - BOTH PLAYERS WERE OFFERED I think Lakers keep winning and winning.

Kobe was hurt in that years play-offs despite the dunk of Oakafor. He just needed another to carry the load the load for a few weeks until he could get better and Gasol was in a killer slump.

Bosh can put up 20 but he is not a rebounder. He is just tall.

[LAKESHOW]

Well the Bynum plan actually worked.
We got dwight howard.
We got Chris Paul.
And then the rug got pulled out from under us. Hence, we are where we are now because of it.
