June 19, 201313 yr Stephen A. Smith on First Take yesterday said that several executives have conveyed to him that the Heat are probably willing to shop around Chris Bosh THIS off-season. Obviously priority 1 is hanging on to LeBron, so he would not go anywhere. With the way Wade's contract is structured he would be difficult to move. None of the other pieces on the roster will allow them to get anything in return with the exception of Bosh. He said if the Heat lose he really thinks it would be a strong possibility. If they win they could regroup but thinks it is a good chance it may still happen. While the Heat still won the league's best record and cruised along all season, a lot of games during the post-season have given them some pause in looking at the future of the organization.
June 19, 201313 yr If they can get a top 5 true post for him ala Cousins or somebody like that they really need to. They need a banger more than a 7 foot jump shooter, I mean they already have enough shooters. Lebron is slowly turning into a 4 man in today's NBA, so if they can land a top notch post they would be a lot better than they are now. To Bosh's defense he wouldn't be as bad if they had anyone at all who could play the post. However, since they don't people drill Bosh because he's not that guy. Bosh is a power forward, a finesse stretch 4, he always will be. If they had that true post player (someone good enough), people wouldn't trash Bosh as much because he would be able to do what he does. Since they don't have that though, people hate on Bosh.

Easy with the Top 5. Cousins is definitely a banger, though.
June 19, 201313 yr They might need to eat some of his contract to do it. I wouldn't take him for what he's making. Same with Wade.
June 19, 201313 yr They need to dump Wade. He sucks. I heard on First Take that the Lakers may be a player for Wade if he was made available.
June 19, 201313 yr I heard on First Take that the Lakers may be a player for Wade if he was made available. That's not even remotely funny.

No chance they could get someone on the same level as Cousins for Bosh. This is Chris Bosh we are talking about. Win or lose I would look to deal Bosh.
June 19, 201313 yr I heard on First Take that the Lakers may be a player for Wade if he was made available. I don't see any reason for that. Doesn't make much sense on a number of different levels.

June 19, 201313 yr Easy with the Top 5. Cousins is definitely a banger, though. You don't think Cousins is one of the top 5 centers in the league? Duncan Howard Hibbert Chandler Lopez Gasol Bynum Bogut Jefferson Which five are better? Duncan was a power forward for the majority of his career but I still counted him.
