A team with a good wing scorer and a solid defensive centre (San Antonio, Cleveland, Portland, New Orleans, Milwaukee, etc.) would be an ideal place for him. We have one of those, and everyone on our team is bad defensively, so it's just bad all around for everyone.
Yeah, this is the rationale behind my musing(s) on turning Bosh's $20 mil salary into a defensive big + wing player.
(Realistically, at this point it certainly seems that Demar is at least a few years away from being a legitimate scoring threat from the SG position.)
But you are right; ideally, trading Bargs and putting a defensive C beside Bosh would be the way to go I think. I'm just not sure that Bargs is enough "trade bait" to warrant a team to give up a defensive C for him....

That's why I'm advocating blowing up the whole team. Bosh, gone. Bargs, gone. Jose, gone. I don't want any of our core around; we're too flawed. It just won't work.
