Cavs now discussing Bosh with Tor

Am I the only one who thinks if Bosh is anti-Cleveland, he's also anti-winning titles? In that case saying sayonara is easy.

If Bosh cared about winning he would got to Cleveland and play with LeBron.

All news points to Toronto easily doing a deal with the Cavs, so Bosh's ego is the only thing in the way.

Bosh is interested in NIGHTLIFE... which equates to Miami or New York!!! If he thinks Chicago has a "happening" night life, he will be extremely disappointed! Toronto's nightlife is better than Chicago.

Ironically, Miami will likely get a S&T for Bosh, Bosh will do something dumb, and will become a pariah to the Miami community...who barely cares whether or not Wade is there... so whatever goes wrong for the HEAT, will be his fault. But, he'll probably end up in a jail cell for DUI before he gets a chance to play. People like that (that crave the nightlife) and are that young, rarely stay out of trouble. Ask Kobe.

RT @Chris_Broussard: Bosh has not softened stance on Cleveland at all. Looks like he won't be a Cav.

He's not going to Cleveland, I live in Toronto and I get the Toronto Star newspaper everyday on my doorstep and it had nothing about Bosh having any interest in playing for the Cavs. Congrats on resigning *LeBron*, he needs an hour conference to announce his decision, while MJ sent a 2 word statement by fax to David Stern... lol, good luck enjoying the LBJ ride for another few years and his drama. Just like i'd say about a hot girl with issues...I'd drop that *girl* and move on.

We all already knew that he wasn't going to Cleveland.... read a page or two before posting the obvious.

Any word on what Minnesota is doing with Jefferson? If talks are heating up between David Lee and the Timberwolves, you would think they have a trade in the works to make cap space to sign Lee outright. Varejao and West for Al Jefferson clears an extra $6 million in space for Minnesota. Cleveland can run Big Al as a PF. Cleveland gains a post threat without giving up a lot of pieces. They could then go on to sign Mike Miller for the MLE. Minnesota clears space while acquiring another energy big for their soon to be completed 4 man rotation, Lee/Darko, Love/Varejao.

Bosh just screwed cleveland out of a lebron re-signing. there's no way that lebron's gonna re-sign with cleveland knowing that wade and bosh could team up in miami or chicago.

Alll signs point to the King claiming his throne in NYC

[TheOUTLAW]

Yeah, that's what the signs are. I thought all signed pointed to the Knicks ending up with Amare only.

[Manny Phresh]

Rupaul decides he wants to cry his way to Miami... That's fine. I hope Grant is looking at other options now.

[Silvie Lysandra]

Now that Bosh is seemingly off the market, I think the time is now for Cleveland to go out and get an Al Jefferson, or work a S&T for David Lee (on the other hand, do the Knicks want to help themselves NOT get LeBron?).

I'd say it's an 70-80% chance LeBron resigns no matter what the team does- the supporting cast isn't THAT bad, and we'll never know if game 5 in Boston was the product of him quitting on the team or him thinking of how many ways he can kill Delonte West (hint hint Cavs management)

You guys did win 61 games last season, right? And 66 the year before? I don't see what Lebron has to gain from leaving Cleveland.

[Manny Phresh]

Our options at this point are Al Jefferson, Carlos Boozer (God, I was hoping I would never have to depend on that name ever again), and David Lee. Let's see Grant does these next 24 hours

I still see Collison and Okafor being an option. It enables NO to be free agent players next summer, gets us a starting PG which makes Mo expendable, and also nets us a young center, all be it an overpaid center. Flip Mo to Portland for Andre Miller and Rudy Fernandez, and bring show time to Cleveland.

West/Parker/Telfair/Powe for Collison/Okafor

This trade saves NO $7+ million immediately and $51+ million overall. Powe gives them a low post threat off the bench who should be healthy and productive. If No wants to dump Posey as well, Shaq can be included in a S&T with the first year being guaranteed. NO gets a center to sell some tickets, but maintains their cap flexibility for the following summer

Mo for Miller/Fernandez

Portland gets a starting PG that fits well next to Roy. Cleveland gets a backup PG that can push the offense, as well as a young SG with upside.


Collison/Miller
Fernandez/Green/Gibson
James/Moon
Hickson/Jamison
Okafor/Varejao

Really Boozer??!! Damn I thought you guys would hate the guy after the kind of crap he pulled a few years ago.

Okafor is definitely in-play!!! Can't say Collison will be coming with him, but Okafor a very realistic... same age as Varejao, bigger body (he's like a doorway...seriously), and although "O" sux... he can make a transition sot or short-bank. Varejao is a little taller, and much more agile.

Right now, as I think it's always been... it is down to Okafor & Jefferson.

[mcfly1204]

You are insane if you think Cleveland is looking into Okafor as a lone entity.

Boozer and Lee...
