i had posted this in the other thread like an hour ago

Damn, If I was Toronot's owner and I had a valuable player that didn't want to re-sign with my team I would be all over that deal like white on rice.

I bought that porno when i was 18, it was a pretty good asian movie....

Not buying it. Just like Stephen A. has heard from multiple sources that LBJ is a guaranteed Knick in 2010.

 

[Silky Smooth]

I say JJ, Wally and 2 1st rounders. The other option is AV, Wally and 2 first rounders. Talent wise in the second deal we win dramatically.

 

[Mdog1]

Sick. I hope he is right. Now what would SAS say if bosh got traded to Cleveland? "UM Bosh and LeBron are going to leave there championship team of two years that can pay them more money to play in NY. A team that has less talent, and did I mention is the biggest city in the world"?

 

[marcvstraianvs]

Wally
JJ
AV
2 Firsts
2 Hookers
a bucket of Chicken
a case of beer
and a bag of weed

for

Bosh and Kapono.......................NO? :chuckles:

Thing is...look what Boston had to give up for Garnett. Al Jefferson was/is a pretty big piece, and KG is OLD. Bosh is young, heading into his prime (and better than Gasol). I just fear a team like Chicago could offer a much better package for a Bosh than the Cavs could.

 

[The George]

what if we offered JJ and AV plus Wally and picks?

now you might be talking something that Toronto would at least listen to

I just dont think there is anyway possible a deal coul get done between the two teams

What could Chicago offer? Laura Hughes, Drew Gooden, Ben Gordon, Nocioni, Grey, Sefolosha, Heinrich? LMAO, I'd be willing to bet Toronto would take AV, JJ, Wally's expiring before any combo of the players mentioned above.

this is obviously right...how can it not be????????

TOR is losing badly and the crowd is booing bosh...IMO,when u boo you star playing something has to be wrong...why in the world he would want to stay there???

i wouldnt be surprise if he demand a trade,he may not know how to come out and say it?

 

[Silky Smooth]

Just think about this imo right now we have 2 all star options available, Bosh and Brand. 1st option is Bosh and if he isnt obtainable then Brand is our second and cheapest option. Id say that's not that bad of a second option imo.

You've got a point, but I think a team like Chicago knows that if Bosh is willing to publicly state he's not willing to resign with the Raptors, there's no guarantee he'd resign in Chicago. He could end up being an expensive season and a half rental.

As far as getting Bosh goes, I think AV has to be a part of it from Toronto's perspective. The Cavs first round picks will likely be low, significantly reducing the value to Toronto. The Cavs do have Wally and Snow, along with some young talent they can throw in. Cleveland would have to take back a bad contract as well. I can see Cleveland giving a competitive offer for Bosh, and being in a position to believe they could resign him.

ONLY way we could get Bosh if Ferry sucked everyone thats part of the Raptors organizaions ____ only way, we are a eastern team. It would be one of the biggest steals in NBA history. We would have to wait until 2010

Chicago would actually be one of the last teams to worry about imo if they aren't willing to part with Rose which they wouldn't. What do they have? Deng is probably considered a bad contract as of right now because of injury problems and his play is down right now. Noah/Thomas are not better than AV/JJ, Nocioni is a bad contract, Hinrich is a bad contract and they already have Calderon. Hughes? :chuckles:, Gooden mid-size expiring, and last Gordon. Ben Gordon would have some value but they are gonna have to resign him for over 10m per season after this year.

This is funny that this has come out 2 weeks before all star weekend. Lebron is announcing the rookie/sophmore game so there is a great opportunity for someone from tnt to ask him if he would like to have Bosh on his team. Then you can get a good estimate of where everything stands. Just a thought

 

[Zog]

AV + JJ + Wally + picks is too much, IMO.

Wally + JJ + 2009 1st + 2011 1st is the absolute most we should be paying for Bosh, IMO. I would rather keep AV than JJ simply because I think AV is more versatile than JJ (can play C or PF) and would be a better compliment to Bosh than JJ... JJ would be playing the same position as Bosh so I don't really see a need to have both of them. However, if for whatever reason Toronto would rather us trade AV than JJ that is fine too...

A big man rotation of Z, AV/JJ, Ben, and Bosh would be awesome.
