    If those rumored trades went through, how many championships would that team win? Also- who would be our top scorer?

    Babbit, why do you even need to ask?

    I dont think Bosh was ever rumored to be traded here, maybe Im missing something though.

    Yeah, what in the hell is this "Bosh" nonsense. There's been zero indication that he has any interest in coming here in a S&T

    Depends on who is coaching that team.

    I had to change my pants after reading that starting lineup.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The master plan also had LeBron James instead of Babbitt. The master plan involved a lot of murders and blackmail to execute, though, so I'm not sure how Portland would have reacted to that. Not the right culture?

    I'd look the other way if it brought us the line-up of Paul/Roy/James/Bosh/Oden

    That one was scrapped long time ago. It's why KP was fired. Too unrealistic, unlike the current one.

    We offered LMA and Rudy for Bosh. That's a great deal for Toronto. Wasn't that deal posted here? Or did I read it on Twitter/ESPN?

    Also- we offered Bayless/Batum/Joel/Miller/Williams for Paul and Okafor.

    Thus the original post.

    We would be left with a Camby, Okafor, Mills, Cunningham, Williams, Johnson, and the MLE. More trades could be made to balance out the bench if needed.

    I think this is realistic. Bosh gets a max deal. Paul gets the best supporting cast he could ask for. Hornets and Raptors get lots of good pieces. Hornets save money. Toronto can't get better than LMA/Rudy.

    Again, I didn't make this up. There were reports that we made these deals.

    Fuck that! I'd actively participate if that lineup was possible and I was guaranteed they'd keep it together for 5+ years. I'd be in Prison someday, but I'd have a hell of a lot of championship gear in my 15 x 10 cell.

    I agree it was the master plan. I'm outing BoomChakaLaka.

    P.S. I know PapaG is Bert Kolde, that was a joke.

    Throw out Babbitt. It'd be Cunningham.

    Why do people see untested rookies as such great players?

    Because they haven't had the chance to disappoint us yet so the hopes are high.

    If the Blazers had made those deals wouldn't Paul and Bosh be on the team? :crazy:

    I meant to say "made these offers."
