Does Rubio even want to play for Memphis? Who's going to pay for the $8 million buyout? Memphis needs to stop giving away players...

Waiting until the trade deadline will poseeven bigger problems.Originally Posted by Osh Kosh Bosh
The thing if nothing presents itself this summer we could always wait till the trade deadline or let the contract expire.
All I know if anybody wants Chris Bosh I hope they want Jason Kapono and Marcus Banks too.
First, the Bosh trade rumors will be a huge distraction to the team.
Secondly, as I said earlier, the teams that Bosh wants to go to (contenders) will have the least to offer the Raptors, especially at the trade deadline. A teamthat feels like they're 1 player away from contending will see little reason to trade away some key assets for a rental player. Also, their 1st round pickswill be useless to us since they'll be in the 25-30 range of future drafts.
The best time to trade Bosh is now leading up to this month's draft. Colangelo better act quick if he wants to maximize his returns.
I do agree with you about packaging bad contracts with Bosh.

There won't be better teams with more money if Memphis holds on to their capspace this off-season along with the expirings they will have coming off thebooks. How exactly do you know those teams will be better than Memphis once the 2010 off-season rolls around? With the way the Knicks are looking, theydefinitely won't be better they just have the city to offer, but Memphis will have more capspace unless NY will try to throw all their money at Bosh whichis unlikely. Chicago won't have the money if they re-sign Ben Gordon. Detroit may be in the bidding, but with the way they were looking this year itsunlikely they will look that much better than Memphis with their players continuing to age.
I'm not even saying that Bosh is coming or wants to come, it was just a scenario anyway. I'm just tired of the same ol' excuses of "no FAwould come to Memphis" crap. I wish he would turn down a huge max deal worth 110-120+ mil. It's a risk giving a player that much money, but I thinkit'll be worth it.
Memphis could even offer them the no.2 pick, unprotected 1st next year, Arthur, Darko's expiring for Bosh, Banks and Kapono's contract. That's arisk as well to see whether or not Memphis can compete in the West with a lineup of Conley, OJ, Gay, Bosh and Gasol. It's feasible, but they would have toadd depth to the bench obviously. I believe Toronto would accept it if they're trying to rebuild and wouldn't want to lose Bosh for nothing.There's a chance at that next year pick being a lottery pick, then they can throw away two bad salaries onto the other team. Memphis would just have tohope its not a 1-year rental and can convince Bosh that a core of Conley, OJ, Rudy and Gasol can be good in another year or two.

feel bad for bosh. takes alot of heart to stay with a losing team for that long, and i guess he couldnt take it no more.
the most you're going to get out of him is draft picks, and bad contracts. everyone knows that bosh wont be resigning, and no GM (besides kerr+zeke and abunch of others) would be stupid enough to give talent for bosh unless they know for sure bosh is resigning.
i cant wait till the draft date, A LOT of things are going to go down....

Right. I'm sure this whole thing came down to how good the Raptors actually are.

i respect it cuz at least he isnt bs'ing the organization and the fans by lying. i hate when players act like theyre gonna stay, and as soon as they canbecome free agents, they go sign with another team.

Wade, Bosh, and Bron need to go to NY in 2010. JUST DO IT! It'd be horrible for the fans of all 3 current cities (and the rest of the NBA) but who gives adamn! That'd be ridiculous. They'd 10-peat!

what has bosh accomplished, or shall i say,what has the management accomplished to help relief the load on bosh's back?

whos getting far in the playoffs out side of san antonio, l.a, cleveland and boston...and i guess you could add orlando.......
the raps were young and won the atlantic division on Bosh's back. he has a top 5 point guard (Calderon) and managment brought in J.O last summer to reliefhis load. but when JO went down the league's biggest secret lessened the load (Andrea Bargnani).
they aren't deep at all but the draft and some trades could fix that. and by all means, the only reason the raps didn't make the playoffs is becausecalderon wasn't healthy. when they picked up matrix and calderon was healthy they were beasting at the end of the year.
bosh thinks the grass is gonna be greener on the other side but its gonna be the same for that guy unless he's on a stacked team. imo if you replace timduncan with chris bosh the spurs would win a chip. but that's the thing...not a lot of teams are as well constructed and deep as the spurs. he'll justrun into another toronto situation. by your logic though...96% of the teams in the nba are losing teams.
