    Well as I was watching my beloved mavs fall to Dwayne Wade and the Heat in game 5 last night, i heard Hubie Brown say that Pat Riley was honestly going to draft Chris Bosh, if the Raptors hadn't selected him before the Heat.

    I was just wondering what the feel of Heat fans would be with a lineup with Bosh involved. And if Bosh was drafted, would the Heat ever gotten Shaq?

    But let's say...they still got Shaq the next season. Heat fans would you rather have All Star big man Bosh along side Shaq on this 2006 squad instead of Wade?

    WE wouldn't be where we are. Bosh is great but he's not a Dwyane Wade.

    Hell no. Wade is the best player in the game right now, and Bosh would not compliment Shaq as well as Haslem does.

    I don't think so. Bosh is great, but I don't think he could do what Wade is doing.

    Well I think a Bosh/Shaq combo would work well, because Bosh has a very solid jumper. and could finish any passes from Shaq.

    Bosh would have a big impact for Miami, and a different one than Wade. However if the impacts could be compared, Wade would have the larger net impact.

    So good job Riley for drafting Wade.

    Well this would have been the lineup if they did draft Bosh instead of Wade.

    PG- Rafer Alston
    SG- Eddie Jones
    SF- Caron Butler
    PF- Lamar Odom
    C- Chris Bosh

    I think I like the roster they have now.

    Yeah that's what else i was trying to say. Was would Lamar still be in miami, and would miami have made that trade to get Shaq, when they wouldve had a bigman of Bosh. IMO i think the raptors saved Pat Riley's career by not picking Wade. lmao

    ^^No there's no way Riley would've traded Bosh not even for Shaq.

    Ye Pat loves big man(no satiric) but with Bosh, I don't think we could have landed Shaq.
