can signing bosh happen?

[spectator]

hey guys,
i was wondering given that we are committed to spend money in the next 3 years, can we sign bosh next year?

my reasoning is that if we subject ourselves to this much money into the roster, we choose not to sign ginobili next year (i am assuming he does not improve) and try to get bosh for 5-6 years starting at 10 mil in the first year, then 15 in the second year (when we get rid of RJ's salary), 16-17 in the third year and 20+ afterward (since we get rid of TD's salary).

i'm thinking bosh would like to play on this team, would make great money, and would play in tx. this sounds like a better option to playing with d-wade or staying in toronto. again, i am not sure we can be so selective in determining money levels per year, but it would surely be nice to have 2 strong players in the front-court.

thoughts?

If he wants to take a massive pay cut then sure.

I'm not convinced manu is done. I'm also not convinced the spurs will let him walk unless their is injury concerns. Bosh is going to want money. The spurs will not be able to offer him a max contract. Other teams will be able to pay the big bucks to bring him in. (ie. NY, Miami) Spurs chances are slim to none.

Did the threadstarter forget about the salary cap? This ain't the MLB.

What a mouth breather thread.

Pop will not let this to happen. As much as Pop has the "love" for Finley", his "thing" for Manu is even greater!

Remember how Pop defended Manu after he stupidly fouled Dirk leading to three-point play, overtime and finally lost it despite Duncan 41 points? Yes, Pop has that much love for Manu. Don't even think of trading Pop's jewel!

i did not; i make the assumption that we spend this much money for the next 3 years (TD's window); that is the reason for which i wrote the salary ladder, so we keep ourselves within the same limits as before

No. You can't do that. You don't know how the salary cap works at all.

sign and trade

If the Spurs can somehow bring Bosh over, the Spurs will be contenders even after Timmy retires. Can you imagine him beside Blair? We'll be offensive rebounding leaders.

Bosh often complains about the lack of respect he gets. I agree with him and playing in SA will help him gain the respect he deserves. Not to mention improving his overall game including defense.

It's a pipe dream.

This is the one trade that could move Parker.

He will not get the the proper respect he expects when he plays for SA. I even think he will have a hard time focusing on his game because he will be replacing TD and that will bring pressure. - IF a miracle happens and he ends up in SA

[Ditty]

I hope he can stay one more year after this season so when we will have alot of money in 2011 we can sign him

Get rid of Parker and Bonner, sign Bosh and start Hill

[murpjf88]

I heard he wants to play next to Duncan even if it means taking the MLE.

:p

where did you hear that?

Hill is not a true point guard. That would leave us with no point guard.

[murpjf88]

I was totally kidding man.

[lefty]

Hill is not a true point guard. That would leave us with no point guard.

Parker is not a true PG either

[Chieflion]

Naw, I know that Bosh was the main player the Spurs wanted to get out of the 2010 plan, but RJ ended up being the result. Still I guess there might be some kind of trade possibility. The Raptors will likely figure out that Bosh will walk to get out of Toronto and in turn the Raptors will be open to trade ideas. If the Spurs offer Parker I can't see anyone offering a better player without an expiring contract. Maybe a swap of first round picks could happen too! I am loving the way this draft class is shaping up.

Funny thing you are saying. If we take Bosh, that means we have to take Calderon too.

[Indazone]

Not if we get him first

Cmon man, think before you speak.

TD is not going to retire for a few more years. He will ride till the wheels fall off.

In the back of his mind somewhere, I'm sure he wants to play a role similar to David Robinson; being an anchor for another aspiring Big. Bosh could be that guy.

He's already taking Blair under his wing but "oh my Bosh" if it were to happen.

that's just hilarious how guys like you just find a way to bash Parker in every ing thread opened in this forum.

lame and pathetic. In every damn thread that i read, you have dbestpro, lefty, TDMVPDPOY and assholes like this ing about Parker, even if it's not a thread Parker's related.

[Muser]

Damn, if there was a way to move parker and other fillers to get Bosh and Calderon, damn this team would be scary. I know it's a pipe dream but wow..

[exstatic]

SA won't trade for Bosh, let alone Bosh AND Calderon.

I also read somewhere that Bosh doesn't want to play in TX. Don't ask for a link, because I don't have one.

[Mark in Austin]

Bosh wants Max money/years but isn't a Max player.

Pass.
