Would you guys do a Deal involving Bosh for Mayo?

I absolutely love Mayo's game, I was just curious if you guys would be interested in some kind of deal involving the two, and if so, what would you offer?

No. No disrespect to Bosh whatsoever. However, if the Grizz couldn't sign Bosh in 2010, what's to say he'd resign here anyway? Rather hold onto Mayo long term and make a play for Bosh when the time comes.

As great a talent as Bosh is, believe it or not the answer would probably be no. As fans we have a win now approach but our owner and front office have a three year plan, which involves letting our youngsters develope and then add veteran talent around them. Bosh has an opt out clause he can exercise in two years so it wouldn't make much sense to acquire him at the expense of the young talent and not have the pieces to put around him, or thrash the three year plan but still have an awful squad. If Toronto wants to trade Bosh when his value can't get any higher than it is now than try a team which has longer term deals for superstar's they are not exactly fond of. My best case example at the moment would be Denver who may part with Carmelo and JR Smith in the right deal, allowing Bragnani to slid back to the 4 spot.

No disrespect to your post, but with an actual PG in Billups, Carmello Anthony is becoming much more useful for the Nuggets. As for JR Smith, while inconsistent, his role is huge for them when he has good games.
