Really when you consider we easily could have gone with Boozer or Amare instead--we got very lucky. We avoided Boozer's suckiness and bad defense. And we avoided Amare's primadonna attitude, lack of defense, and injury problems.

It really is unprecedented what Riley and Wade accomplished to get the two top free agents in such a superstar laden class, while retaining their own superstar. And then to have them get along.

Amare and melo don't get along nearly as well as Wade/Lebron/Bosh.

I would definitely take Bosh over Amare, if that's what you're driving at.

I remember Boozer wanting to come here because he has family in Miami too.

Man I am so glad he didn't come. Dude sucks defensively. Even if he is having a 20-20 game, the guy he is guarding is going off anyway LOL. He is also not mobile either at all. Good rebounder though, but mobility on defense? Bosh beats him any day of the weak in that category.

You really see Bosh's athleticism and those long arms, and him trying on defense and you tend to appreciate him more. Even though he would have a bad shooting night lol. His edges are awesome too, no one can get past it.

I hate this guy, but sometimes he has good vids. WHile the Bulls did still score, you can see Bosh's hedges and activity. And the difference on D between Boozer and Bosh at the end there lol.

Currently, Bosh is way better than Amare. Amare showed some of his past athleticism today but still isn't able to have much of a impact in the game and stunk it up with his careless TO, weak defense, and subpar offense, and missing open j's that Bosh would easily hit most of the time, much like most of this season. He is unable to mesh with Lin atm and the pick-and-roll he excelled at is pulled off better by Tyson Chandler. At this point, Amare is more of a liability than a asset.
