Bosh to Miami is what I figured. M&M talking about how Bosh not wanting to go to Cleveland meant Wade got to stay in Miami. If Bosh had joined LeBron in Cleveland, Wade probably would have gone to Chicago. I think the Raptors worked out a sign and trade of Bosh to Miami- maybe for one player, picks and a TPE. Chicago ends up with???

Wade is certanily a better teamamte and cooler person than LeBron is. Who would want to play with that egomaniac? AND CERTANILY NOT IN CLEVELAND LOL... that is probably the last place you wanna go to if you are Bosh. Whoever took those rumors seriously is nuts.

Keep in mind that many players will want to join a team with Wade and Bosh so recruiting should be much easier for them from this point on... Miami will be a powerhouse in the next 5 years if this is true.

Ray Felton, Mike Miller, Travis Outlaw, Haywood, Brad Miller...

If the Heat can sign a couple of those guys, they'll start to look really good. They really do need to get a legitimate center to play with Bosh though. Haywood would be ideal because there really aren't any other centers on the free agent market.

They should try their best to secure Raymond Felton, who is a solid defender at PG, and since Wade is handling the ball most of the time, it makes things easy for Felton on offense. Secure Mike Miller cause they need a shooter and Haywood for his defense, but the Mavs will overpay to keep him. I was wondering whether they should ask Haslem to take a paycut and return.

After signing Wade and Bosh,

Miami has $12mil if they keep Beasley.

If Beasley goes to TOR in the Bosh S/T, then Miami has enough cap space to outright sign LeBron James to the max too.

If LeBron does not go to Miami,

then the Heat are going to sign Brendan Haywood and other role players.

Heat never really wanted Jermaine, and the HEAT had barely any good role players.

The HEAT got Jermaine for contract reasons. They traded Shaq's unmovable contract of $20mil per to PHX for Marion, then traded Marion's for O'Neal's which expired right in 2010. Just in time for the off-season

I've gotta assume that LeBron would love to play for a LEGIT hall of fame coach for once. So if he came to MIA, that would be a stipulation imo...

LeBron will stay in CLE imo.

He does matter.

He's the next Pau Gasol. A talented big man on a craptastic team with shitty management that failed to build a competent team around them.

Once Bosh starts going deep in the playoffs, even maybe win a title, suddenly Bosh is a top 5-10 big man in the nba. His big games get noticed because they are done in big situations

Offensively, it doesn't matter which position he plays. He'll score, especially with Wade opening up the offense for him.

Defensively, Bosh cannot play center. You said he put up his best numbers this past season while playing significant time at center. Well he also put up his worst defensive rating of his career, by far. He cannot and should not be a primary defender at the center position.

Edit: He had a similarly bad defensive rating season in 2005-06, not coincidentally a season where he also played a lot of minutes at center.

If Bosh would have went to Chicago or Houston...smart, because it shows he would want to win. Miami? Dumbass move. Dude just wants to have fun in the NBA it seems. This is reminiscent of when the Rockets traded for McGrady and had Yao. Had we had a supporting cast now around McGrady then in his prime, we would have won at least once.

The Heat will not play Bosh at C. Bosh wants to play PF, and that was part of the deal to come to Miami.

Really? What has Miami done recently? Houston's role players almost had the same record as Miami last year, with a healthy Wade + an actual team. What is Bosh going to now? A gutted Miami team with Wade and a depressed Beasley? Okay... Houston or Chicago made much better sense.

And no, I'm not mad. It was a longshot anyway. Now, the Rockets can hope Yao comes back healthy, sign a backup C, and have our young players develop more this year (we get to keep our depth).

Yeah, Miami won a championship back in 2006 (four years ago). Who from that team, besides Wade, is still in Miami? Thanks.

What good is depth if there is no major talent? Bosh has proven himself not to be a superstar capable of carrying a team. He needs to be a second banana to a Wade or LeBron. On Houston, he'd be the best player. Depth by itself is no good without the major talent at the top. There'd just be a bunch of second and third options with no number 1. And please don't even utter Yao's name. Chris Bosh admitting he needs to be a "second banana" to a Wade or LeBron actually shows he's more about winning than going to a team where he'd have to be the number 1 option.

The absolute best lottery team buddy! But seriously, Miami wasn't much better with a healthy Wade + an actual team, like I said. Bosh is looking more for fame and having the same agent as Wade helps Miami, too. Good luck to him.

I think they are. Wade has won a title, remember. Boston isn't going to be a threat for more than a season or two and that may be in question if Ray Allen leaves and KG stays as effective as he's been. Chicago may not land anyone. Cleveland will probably lose Lebron now. Atlanta is good, but far from great and they didn't get a major upgrade at Coach as they should. Dwight Howard has no game outside of dunking the basketball and Pat Riley is probably going to return to the sidelines.

Aren't you a fan of the Pistons? How did you guys win your championship?

A shitty Eastern Conference and Kobe's ego.

And not afraid or too proud to admit it.

They are due for a resurgance and that will be the expectation when Yao comes back, even before he plays a game. Phoenix will probably not win 50 this year and that is what it will take to make the postseason (again), so there's room for Houston.

However, remember your recent history. The Houston Rockets did this "best team in the lottery" in 2002-03. The follow-up season they didn't improve much, even with Yao having a terrific season in 2003-04, and the celebrated hiring of Jeff Van Gundy. They were everyone's favorite to make it big. The same thing happened after they traded for Tracy McGrady, the next Shaq and Kobe tandem. The Rockets have a recent history of not meeting expectations. Miami these past two seasons has defied them. You can blame the poor Eastern Conference, but things haven't worked out in Yao's time there.

My point? Put bluntly, shut up. Wait (and demand) that they do something before you put them in the upper echelon of NBA teams.

We'll see how this shakes out. Bosh/Wade and veteran minimum/young guys only get them to the second round or maybe the ECF if they get lucky. If they can add a couple of more significant pieces(center, shooters) they could vault themselves into elite conversation.

Plus, the day Brooks/Martin play any defense whatsoever is the day Rocket fan grows a brain.

So yeah, the reconstruction of the 04 Pistons won't be happening any time soon in Houston :lol

The Rockets definitely didn't have the young and promising core back then as we do now. Our coach is better, our role players are better, we're younger, and the only thing hindering it all is the health of Yao Ming.

DO agree with your last part though.

They could also go out and get Bayless and Brandon Jennings while signing Nic Wise to create the dominant team me and everyone I know thought we would be watching our freshman year at Arizona :lol. Then Jennings couldn't pass his SAT and Bayless went to the NBA.

i actually don't like this. they could have chosen a better destination like the nets. the heat still have to add more pieces and potentially hand out some bad contracts due to the market. the nets or the bulls would have been a guaranteed finals trip but the heat, not so much. did they do this so they could have room for lebron? contract info for both players have not leaked out yet, which is unusual as boozer, durant, and amare's contract info had all come out.
