for Bosh
So now we would have two grossly overpaid, under-performing small forwards?
Big contract, redundancy, crappy first, prospect who might never come to the NBA or amount to anything?
For that, Bosh can walk for nothing IMO
I understand you have Hedo, but IMO that shouldn't deter you from acquiring the better player. Somewhat similar, the Pistons signed Gordon knowing they still had RIP (big minute player still, traded soon?). Point is I think you can pump Hedo up and sell him, and then have Deng slide in. If you don't think thats possible, then I understand why you'd be against it. But the assumption is Deng to be the superior player going forward.
Actually it would deter any rational team owner who faces the likelihood of a rebuilding or at least a retooling. Pump up Hedo and sell him... ? Is there enough Viagra in the world to do that? Deng is the superior player, but not nearly good enough to go that route.
