Though I wouldn't be suprised if Riley moved Bosh on even if we won. I think Bosh has had plenty of time to show he can fit in with Lebron and wade--and it's just not happening. Our need for a jumpshooting non-rebounding big could be serviced for a lot cheaper. I mean if we got rid of Bosh--Rashard Lewis could gives us exactly what Bosh gives us, but with better 3 point shooting.
The deal I would love for us to make is Bosh for Faried and one of the Denver centers(preferably McGee because I think he would fit the best). I think Bosh would give Denver the number 1 scoring option they are lacking, and they have the size with Koufos and Mozgov to cover for Bosh's weakness in rebounding. For us Mcgee is basically a younger Birdman with less brains and on a bigger contract. But Riley could mold him. And Faried would take a ton of pressure off of Lebron because he would be beasting on the boards and running the floor with Bron every night. Then we would just have to retain our wing shooters--and we could probably reel off another 4 titles regardless of whether Wade regresses or not.
That's a pretty good trade, but the salaries don't match. It could work in Wilson Chandler was added, but then Denver might feel it's giving up too much.
Also, Bosh has a 15% trade kicker, which makes his contract less attractive.
