No GM in the league would trade Kevin Durant for Chris Bosh right now under any circumstances.

What about Manu Ginobili?
Ginobili and Harden at the SG spot would be pretty sick.

Just personally, Ginobilii is about the last guy I want playing on this team. I can't stand his game or on-court personality. He's also getting a little old, especially compared to the core of this team.

I can't believe this. Hopefully Presti doesn't think like you guys.

I think Chris is the absolute #1 guy you should be targetting this coming offseason. With a real scorer next to him, you'd see his offensive rebounding numbers jump and his defensive numbers would increase as well with the energy he can conserve. And for people saying he's just a shooter, Chris averages about 6.5 made FTs per game, sixth in the league. Him and Durant in the pick and roll would be devastating.

They'd become the new Kobe and Gasol. Defensively, it would take some time, but with Harden, Westbrook and I dunno, Rony Turiaf or Przybilla surrounding them, who cares?

Bosh would take up a large portion of your team salary, but I just can't understand how some of you are turning down the chance to add a Top 20 arguably Top 15 player in the League to a great young core. It's shocking that you'd be unwilling to do it even without giving anything up.

Bosh gets a label of being soft, but he's one of the top players in the League at getting to the line. He gets some points off mid-range jumpers, but gets just as many off face-up drives. He's a good rebounder and good help defender as well and can be great when he puts his mind to it. His Man D is not the best, but that may improve this year with some added bulk. His biggest weakness is his passing ability, but when it comes to putting the ball in the bucket, there are few if any better at his position.

I do believe we're going to add a PF and maybe a C by the end of next offseason. Bosh is probably the guy we've got our sights set on.

I also wouldn't rule out the possibility of acquiring Gortat by the trade deadline (for a 1st, 2nd, and an expendable player).

Signing Bosh makes absolutely no sense with Jeff Green already on this team. Amare is a better fit since he looks like he can play center.

I'm not really sure Amare can do any better of a job playing center than Bosh... he just happens to have been in a system where he's done it a bit more.

There is Zero chance that B osh is gonna want to Leave Toronto to play and live in Oklahoma city IMO.

You guys have some Great young players but I dont see any top Free Agent wanting to live in OKC unless he is from the area like Griffin
