B/c it's up to Bosh where he wants to go. Not saying it's Miami but if that's the team he wants to play for, thats the only team Toronto can negotiate with.

Right.... again, how is Wade strong arming Miami going to help Miami get Bosh? Miami would obviously love to get a S&T done for Bosh, if they could. I don't see why this leverage would be necessary.

I think you're misreading the message. He's saying that Wade is using the Bulls as leverage to try to get Miami to S&T for Bosh. The problem is that Toronto does not want to S&T Bosh to Miami and Bosh wants that 6th year on his deal.

How am I misreading the message? You just restated my point in different words.

What? You asked a question and I provided the answer. I didn't rephrase what you wrote at all.

I'd rather have David Lee than Boozer.

I can tell you that goff has sources inside Wade's inner circle. Anything else not related to Wade, I would take with a grain of salt.

I am so confused. WHy would wade need to use the Bulls for leverage to get Miami to do a S&T. Don't you think Riley is motivated enough to make that happen. He would have done it Thursday at 12:01 if he could have.

I wouldn't call adding a 20 and 11 guy to a Playoff team a 'worst case scenario'.

Bulls 2010 offseason = failure

David Lee boosted his stats, he was on a bad team. The numbers have to go to someone

I'd be happy with Boozer, Reddick, and swinging a trade for Gortat and Pietrus.

No. It was a rhetorical question. Miami doesn't need to be strong-armed into doing a S&T for Bosh. They would/will do it if they can. You just basically said the same thing. Toronto may not want to deal with Miami and Bosh wants the 6th year. Thus, Miami isn't likely to be the team keeping such a deal from happening.

There was one report that Miami was souring on Bosh as a max player, that they didn't think he was all about winning after his antics during free agency.

Sounds off the wall to gamble with Wade like that, but I believe the source was a Miami paper.

So you are telling me he's sleeping with Wade's cousin? Just say it!!

HoopsPro · Post #974 » by **HoopsPro** » Mon Jul 5, 2010 9:20 pm

Of all the ESPN "speculators" Ric Bucher is the least credible. He's just repeating what thousands of posters on realGM have already stated at one time or another, and then acting as if he has inside sources.

Lets see if Bucher will put his money where his mouth is, and prove to the readers TODAY that he has sources that show Bosh is a done deal with Miami.

I agree that I would rather have Lee than Boozer. Lee is not injury prone, as Boozer is, and he actually seems to give a crap about winning. Something about Boozer just turns me off. I lost faith in him when he was one of the most seldom used players on the Redeem Team despite the fact that his own college coach coached the Redeem Team. It also doesn't look good for Boozer than Milsap got a huge contract before they even knew Boozer planned to leave.

That said, getting just Boozer or just Lee is NOT enough. That solves the post issue, but does not solve the shooting issue. We need at least one, and more likely two really good three point shooters. Assuming we can sign Boozer for $14 million or less per year, we'll have plenty of money to throw at Mike Miller, Morrow, and/or Korver.

I dont think Wade was using the Bulls as leverage but I can see Riley being hesitant to give up our last two pieces (Beasley and Chalmers) when Bosh could just sign here outright. Wade almost leaving might force his hand.

In Bucher's scenario they don't bring in anyone.

That means LeBron has to beat Kobe+Gasol+Bynum, Amare+whoever else NY gets, Bosh+Wade, and Rose+Noah+Boozer+Deng, all by himself in Cleveland. Even worse chances than last year. On an older team.

Don't see it.

I agree, if Lebron is truly serious about winning a title he has to view that as a tougher road than he will ever have to cross.

Yup.

I doubt it.

He could be doing that, but I do actually believe if Riley doesn't get it done, he will go to you guys. Scary thought.

That would be very nice.

Thanks for the info on Goff - he's a really bad reporter and basically as someone said he's in over his head currently. He can still improve but right now he doesn't have much credibility, just the credibility the Score is trying to force down everyone's throat. Which, by the way, in doing so, they are saying, you know we really just have one person on the entire station that really follows the NBA a lot.
