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.

 

Cousins Is just a best case scenario IMO. The new ownership wants to keep him but eventually they may get to the point to where they are afraid he may not re sign long term. Would you rather lose him or get somebody like Bosh if you could?

 

Bosh wouldn't be that bad in a different situation. He was always a 20-10 guy before teaming up in Miami, in a situation where he was more of a focal point like a number two option or something he could still be valuable to somebody.

What team would be a good fit for Bosh?

 

Any team with a good inside presence. Somewhere like Indiana would be ideal but they are fine with David West. Similar situation would be ideal though.

I'd want draft picks.

Be tough for the salaries to work for a lot of teams. If they could still get a solid young player for around 8-10 mil a year and a couple picks then that would be a pretty good deal. Anything would really, what they could get would be better than what Bosh gives at 16 mil a season.

 

 

I know they traded their picks to save salary but I thought Miami should have drafted Festus Ezeli last season. Would have been pretty cheap and would have at least provided some kind of post presence, something they obviously don't have. Birdman brings some energy and hustle plays but def not a post presence.

It's a little funny :lol2:

 

I did laugh but I didn't want to ruin my post by adding a smilie...

You don't think Cousins is one of the top 5 centers in the league?

 

Duncan

Howard

Hibbert

Chandler

Lopez

Gasol

Bynum (healthy)

Bogut

Jefferson

 

 

Which five are better? Duncan was a power forward for the majority of his career but I still counted him.

 

Just off that list, I would take those six before Cousins.

I respect that, but personally I would take Cousins over Lopez, Gasol, and Bynum. Lopez is a good player, but for a true post he is not going to average double digit rebounds or make a difference on defense. Gasol is almost done, has maybe two or three more seasons in him at the most. Bynum, who knows what will happen with him. Considering he only really had one above average season in terms of production and his injury history I would take Demarcus.

 

People don't like him because of his attitude and I understand that. BUT, cannot deny what he can do on the court.

I thought you meant Marc Gasol.. Whoops. :lol2:

I did leave him out, he would definitely make the cut though. Not sure who I would take between him and Cousins, I would be happy with either. But definitely forgot to put him on the list.

Boogie over Pau in a heartbeat, lol.

Bosh would be perfect in the WNBA as his game is boring as theirs.

I'd take Boogie over most of that list in all honesty.

What team would be a good fit for Bosh?

 

The Wizards. They need a 4 that can shoot the ball.

Right now for sure, but Pau was one of the best post guys in the league for a long time.

 

 

Cousins vs. Marc was who I was talking about, although a toss up I would probably still take Cousins. Give up some size and defense, but I think Cousins has the more all around game and is a little quicker/more athletic.

The Wizards. They need a 4 that can shoot the ball.

 

Wiz would be a perfect fit but I couldn't see them having what it takes to get it done. Maybe Nene, maybe Okafor and some picks or something. Just don't have a lot of assets they are willing to part with, or should I say don't have assets with a lot of trade value outside of Wall and Beal.

 

 

The Wizards would be perfect though. It's a dream scenario (since the Wiz are currently my 2nd favorite team), especially if they could make it Wall, Beal, Porter, Bosh, Nene/Okafor (whichever one doesn't get traded). Thats a good team for the next few seasons, and still young enough to be good for a while. Again, dream scenario though as it likely doesn't happen. Wiz could give up Nene/Okafor and #3 overall and have a chance at getting something done but outside of that I don't see it unless Miami is cool with Okafor's expiring deal (which will equal valuable cap space after next season).
