Broussard: Wade/Bosh to Miami

You know, even as bad as it is for Bulls fans, I initially felt bad for Raptor fans. Not anymore. Enjoy your FIBA team, and good luck with a Bargnani led squad.

Wade/Lebron + Bosh >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Noah!!!

You guys screwed up, and it was your extreme love for Noah that will leave you in mediocrity for years to come.

The Raptors will never make it to the playoffs again. good luck with Ed Davis.

And I hope you die in the slowest way possible...

Everybody realizes that this is all about a bunch of guys running around in shorts, right?

We are Bulls fanatics, not fans.

ESPN reporting it as a done deal, yet I've heard no outlets reporting it as more than just rumor and speculation. It will probably happen, but have some class and wait until they announce it before you say it's a done deal. Although that may be too much to ask from that network.

Hell Bosh tweeted he doesn't know what's going on. So either this is just all a circus that will be completed shortly, or nothing is imminent yet.

ESPN had better hope to God that this thing goes through with all the garbage they are reporting.

Raptors fans have been coming onto this board trolling and being condescending dicks all season long.

I have absolutely no sympathy for that team's realgm fan base whatsoever.

I would love to see that. Wade has loved beating the Bulls the last few years.

Come on man, its a done deal. Bosh's tweets are sarcastic.

I'm getting an uneasy feeling about this. I'm sure that the Bulls tried plan A (LeBron, Wade Bosh). It's looking like plan A has failed. So what is plan B?

Combining a couple of things we know about - Reinsdorf and the new CBA - it may very well be that plan B is to sign some middling guys and get the payroll in line with what we all expect to be a new payroll reality. UC is sold out already. Make it to the playoffs. We already got Rose.

My fear is that our top signees will be more of the Reddick and Outlaw variety. Decent players that take us fans nowhere near the promised land, but will take the Bulls to 1st or 2nd round playoff ticket sales, and exits.

I just can't see the Bulls offering Boozer max money with what may be on the payroll horizon in a new CBA. We've always heard Reinsdorf will pay Lux tax for ring competitive team. With shifting NBA landscape, we won't have that.

And another thing. I don't know how Stern would stop it, but if LeBron goes to Miami, NBA TV ratings will GO DOWN. And nobody want to kill the golden goose. That's why I see Nike, the NBA, and other assorted interested league participants all pushing NY. I hate to say it, but I'm guessing NY.

Bosh was always going to go to Miami. He was thrown for a loop when Wade began to have second thoughts...and possibly going to Chicago. He would then have to possibly look at alternatives as he doesn't want to be alone...ANYWHERE! Can't blame him after 7 squandered years in Toronto.

Wade truly has a place in his heart for Chicago and it almost made him change his mind, IMHO. Bosh was actually the one that was convincing Wade to stick to his guns and stay in Miami so he could join him. Note the TMZ video where DWade is asked for autographs before going to Level 52 restaurant. When they finally get around to Bosh about what he thinks of Chicago, he says "Chicago, THE CITY, is great." Meaning he won't diss the city but isn't interested in the team (for whatever reason). Finally Wade agrees to stay in Miami and then Bosh tweets "Today is a GREAT day."

So its not Wade that was playing us, it was Bosh in his ear all along telling him to stay in Miami. When DWade finally complied, it was game over for that duo.

Really? It's a done deal. Just like D'Antoni was going to be the next Bulls coach, as was Doug Collins. I haven't seen an official announcement yet. I'm a journalism major so I guess it's this part of me that is pretty pissed at the **** reporting that has been happening.

Again, you are probably correct that it's imminent, but let's wait until it's official until we say it's a done deal.

Now that Bosh is off the market (presumably), go after Boozer. The way he plays with Deron makes me think he'd fit well with Rose. If he wants to come here, get it done pronto. He'll probably command a bigger salary than before if the Nets are willing to overpay.

Well NBA probably isn't happy with Wade/Bosh in the Miami market, let alone all three.

Sorry David.

Wade has been in contact with Heat this morning to spread good news, I'm told. Only wait now is on Toronto S-and-T decision.

okiejoad · Post #655 » by **okiejoad** » Wed Jul 7, 2010 3:59 pm

To the poster who said that ESPN is the only outlet reporting it, try:
Sun-Sentinel.com.
MiamiHerald.com.
Yahoo! Sports.
SI.com.
Should I continue?

You wait. I'll lament.

The Miami market is not just the Miami area. Heat games are shown all the way up to Orlando, the whole southern half of Florida is Miami's market.

I just think Chicago could have had Wade/Lebron + Bosh if they had commited to trading Noah for Bosh earlier in the FA process!!!

Bosh needed to want to cmoe to chi first. And Noah for Bosh doesnt make us better.

That's just a lie. Bosh >> Noah. I really can't believe how much you guys overrate Noah.

I agree individually Bosh is better than Noah but I think it doesn't make the team necessarily better as then you have a hole at Center. We Bulls fans look at it like this:

Boozer+Noah >>>Bosh+ Garbage Center

Reinsdorf not wanting to give Boozer max money is worrisome though. I don't think he is worth the max either, but if he gets a max offer from NJ, then I could see him going there.

bad knees · Post #660 » by **bad knees** » Wed Jul 7, 2010 4:00 pm

I keep refreshing for the news that Toronto won't agree to a S & T. Then this will get interesting. Will Bosh give up the $30 million?
