    LB is not a point guard. He is a worse distributor that Bayless.

    I want nothing to do with Amare in Portland. What are some of your thoughts on a three way with Bosh to Portland, Amare to Toronto and Aldridge/RLEC to Phoenix as the principals? Is it fair, acceptable and worth the risk considering Bosh has an opt out in 1.5 years? Would he want to be in Portland?

    There's no reason to do a favor for the Suns. Amare's ego is simply too big for this team. The minute he's not The Man, he pouts.

    If you don't want Amare, I don't know why you'd want Bosh.

    J-Rich plays SF, position of need.

    What would LB do, back up Rudy as the third string SG?

    J-Rich came in a little under 6'5" coming into the League. He is a SG through and through.

    If a deal happened, which I don't want, I'd like to get Robin Lopez in the deal.

    He's listed at 6-6 now, and I think at 225, he's strong enough to play the 3.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Bosh has been more productive than Amare this year and plays better defense. Also, Bosh doesn't seem to have the attitude problems Stoudemire has.

    O RLY? So is that why he still plays most of his minutes at SG?

    Amare has an inside game. Bosh is a jump shooter and is soft.

    Phoenix has three small forwards, and one other shooting guard. So why would they play J-Rich anywhere but the 2?

    Bosh being a jump shooter isn't a bad thing in portland if Oden develops like we think he will

    Bosh: 8.5 FTA
    Amare: 7.2 FTA.

    Oden's definitely on the fast track to becoming that player, ay?
