Yeah, that woule be hilarious
I'd love to see Lebron and Bosh go to New York with Mike D'antoni so the media could themselves over a jump shot orgy that wins 65 games in the regular season and then falls apart in the playoffs.
Yeah, that woule be hilarious
Particularly because people would rave about how Bosh is the #2 option Lebron's been needing his entire career, and imo Bosh isn't much better than Antwan Jamison.
Why do you think I am not a big fan of L.A. trading Drew for Bosh.
Because you know how overrated Bosh is
There's a reason Toronto fans aren't really making an effort to show they want Bosh to stay. I've seen a few Toronto message boards, and most of their fans have the at ude, "OK, we know, we're the Raptors and you don't wanna stay. Cut the bull out and leave already, we really don't give a where your soft ass ends up."
You mean toronto is not throwing "please stay Chris" parties?![]()
Cavs reach out to Paul, Kidd about Scott
By Adrian Wojnarowski
As Byron Scott establishes himself as the clear frontrunner for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ coaching vacancy, team executives have reached out to two of LeBron James’ friends – Chris Paul and Jason Kidd – to discuss their former coach.
Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant and assistant GM Lance Blanks made an initial round of calls to New Jersey Nets and New Orleans Hornets officials to research Scott shortly after the firing of Mike Brown, but are now digging deeper as they inch closer to making him a formal offer.
The Cavs also had every one of the Nets’ 2002 and ’03 playoff games, including the Finals, sent to them for review, a source said.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo was the No. 1 choice of owner Dan Gilbert, but Izzo’s belief that James won’t re-sign with the Cavaliers was mostly responsible for him turning down a $30 million package.
Scott had a combative history with Kidd while he coached the Nets, and ultimately Kidd played a part in the coach’s 2004 dismissal one season after the team made consecutive trips to the NBA Finals. Kidd had issues with Scott’s preparation, but never had a personal problem with him. Still, it seemed doubtful Kidd would blast Scott to Blanks, who was making those calls.
As for Paul, he’s an immense supporter of Scott and never wanted him fired in New Orleans last season. Paul played his first four NBA seasons for Scott and remains close to him. Paul’s personal endorsement to James has gone a long way for Scott’s candidacy with the Cavaliers.
How quickly Scott would leap at a Cavaliers offer is still unclear, because he remains mostly interested in trying to get the Los Angeles Lakers job should Phil Jackson decide to retire after the Finals. Scott is a candidate for the Los Angeles Clippers job, too. Southern California is home for him, and he’s hesitant to jump at a Cavs offer without fully exploring the possibility of staying west.
