Bosh is a 20/10 young post player. Thats pretty much the most coveted thing in basketball today.
I would trade Manu and Mason for Bosh and not even have to think about it.
Dwayne Wade!!!

But you're not trading Manu and Mason for Bosh. You're trading Manu and Mason for a chance at signing Bosh. What if Bosh doesn't sign here? Manu isn't going to wait around to see whether or not the Spurs get Bosh, especially since the only shot at Bosh in 2010 involves telling Manu to piss off when he asks for an extension in 2009.
Bosh or Bust Baby
Considering that in 2010 Bosh will probably be getting a call from Wade saying "join me in Miami" and one from Lebron saying "let's both go to New York" I'm afraid the odds of that decision coming up "bust" are pretty good.
the Magic very likely don't have a plan how to be a player in 2010, but if they find a way to clear enough cap space (by a Lewis for expirings trade), I think there is also a chance that a call from his best fried Dwight Howard would help to bring in Bosh. (Bosh called Howard and Josh Powell his best friends).
You're right but there's no way anyone would want to acquire his ridiculous contract. The Magic outbid themselves and ironically Lewis is probably going to be the reason why they won't win a le.
He may be homesick and Dallas is right up the road. Not to mention the chance to play for a five star organization, and learn under the greatest player of this era.
totally agree. the Lewis contract is probably the most ridiculous signing of the last 5 years. they would need a teaser like a top 3 pick or a young top talent to package with Lewis, so that other teams are interested. both they don't have and they won't get.
the Lewis contract might even be the reason why Dwight Howard will walk away 2012, when he realized that he won't win a le with this team.
he might just go to the Mavs if he is that homesick. believe it or not, but the Mavs have some options to clear cap space 2010, if they focus on this. (Dampier's contract isn't guaranteed and they might not use the TO for Josh)
Now your reachin, we still have TP and a first class FO, and POP. Between the two there is no comparison.
sorry, but claiming we have a shot at Bosh in 2010 is no less reaching than that he might want to go to Dallas.
2003 we had a brand new ring, a young Tim, even younger TP and Manu, a boatload of money, Pop and the same first class FO.
what did it bring in? Rasho! on an overpriced contract.
premium FAs just don't go to SA. that's sad, but that's what it is.
What's a reach is believing that the Spurs are going to deliberately piss off Manu and forego any significant roster moves between now and summer 2010 just so they can cling onto the Chris Bosh dream.
Manu's going to get an extension this offseason and then the Spurs will make up their minds whether or not to use their MLE in 2009, or try to have just enough cap space to beat the MLE in 2010.
That has been the plan, WTF are you talkin about. It's been no secret they have lined up all contracts so they could be a players in the '10 FA market. I'm simply sayin Bosh should be and probably is the best fit and most obtainable.
Agree. Bosh is a max caliber frontline player. Those are in high demand.
Agree. They will pay manu so there goes any max player for the 2010 plan.
There's different type of players in the FA market. If the Spurs wanted to have a max contract to throw around then they severely hindered their chances when they gave Tim Duncan his extension. If they wanted to have enough cap room to beat the MLE, which gives you more money to spend than the majority of teams out there, then they can still do that.
Ironic timing here with the breaking news about Manu being out with injury tonight. If the Spurs have concerns about Manu's long term health then that does change things significantly.
I would also never pay Bosh the MAX neither..I've gotten to watch him closely over the years..while he's a great player, and he WILL get max money, he doesn't deserve it at this point..he's not a #1 option in this league, similar to Stoudemire..
there are only 5-10 guys that deserve the MAX in the NBA, and we already have one of them..
