Is letting Bosh go to Hou part of a plan to get Melo to Mia?

That would be most excellent.

Didn't know that. He's easily replaceable though.

Bosh doesn't seem like the "all about the money" kind of guy anymore. He wants to stay in Miami for the rest of his life it seems.

I think Rockets should be more focused on keeping Chandler Parsons.

Chandler Parsons is restricted. There no reason they should be focused on him when they know they can match whatever he gets.

I don't see that happening though. Don't they just need to move Jack? Cleveland has the assets to move him I think.

It's probably true but a team like the Spurs should just make a vet min offer to him to mess with lebron's plans. The Spurs have a much more solid team then MIA, even with the big three back and Allen could probably fit right in there easy.

Heat beat writers have said Allen told them he basically only wants to play with Lebron next season, or otherwise not at all. There could be some complications with that family-wise if Lebron leaves Miami, but he's basically said that.

I believe you but that's one of the saddest things i've ever heard. Ray Allen was a franchise player and part of the Big 3 in Boston. Does he really want to finish his career like a lovesick teenager? Geez, go back to the Bucks and do a farewell season in the city where your career got started if you dont care where you end up. He shouldn't need Lebron to retire on his own terms.

Winning is one hell of a drug.

Actually Ray and the Celtics went to the finals twice.

exactly, and he was a star then. If he wants to win so badly, sign with the Spurs like i suggested. Why hitch your wagon to one player specifically. It's sad. so sad. I can't imagine his fans and supports like this version of Ray Allen.

Would Wade even get to touch the ball during a game alongside LeBron and Melo?

As a Heat fan, I don't want Melo.

Hell, this whole charade is becoming annoying.

Miami would be worse off with Melo than they would with Bosh. Even less defense on a team that desperately needs a big who can do exactly that.

Battier was like the walking dead by the end of last season. His body retired before he did.

btw old washed up Battier is easily replaceable, as is anyone who is washed up, but younger Battier was a real asset.

No, but that's not really a priority. Still, we're better off with Bosh.

i hope bosh somehow gets the best ending out of this whole situation.
but not in houston, cause thats just another superteam...

maybe bron to cleveland
melo back in ny
houston gets nothing but parsons
bosh and wade stay.
get deng with the cap, and then beat the cavs in the playoffs.

What if Lebron is letting his agent lead Cleveland on, in anticipation that after the Jack trade is done Bosh will go to the Rockets. Then he resigns in Miami and brings Melo with him. Would be pretty crazy, but after 2010 I wouldn't dismiss anything.
