This would be so friggin' sweet! I'm not as gun-ho about bringing in Amare as other people are, but Bosh, imo, would be a no-brainer trade if Pax could get this done. Would even make up for the Gasol trade blunder.
Can't this deal get done without Toronto? I've heard from multiple people Sarver will not deal Amare to the Raptors or Knicks because of his grudge against the Colnagelos and D'Antoni.
There is definitely something here regarding Bosh. I was told about 2 hours before Roman's blog post, that we might make a run at Bosh. I didn't think anything of it at the time, because it was just a passing comment after a lot of Amare information. But where there's smoke, there might be fire. Personally, I would rather have Amare with the Bulls. But Bosh ain't bad either.
Wow, now that would be something. Still don't see it happening, but if everybody else is getting drunk....
Tech N9ne says 50/50 chance the Bulls do the Thomas for Amare swap, but isn't going to divulge any information this time around, because he doesn't want to screw anything up for the Bulls.
I'll take Chris Bosh ... If Phoenix can't make up their mind about Amar'e then I'll happily take Bosh.
The problem though, is that it's a rumored three way. So it's still dependent on Phoenix liking that Chicago package. I don't see Toronto taking the Chicago package. Maybe something based around Deng, but I doubt that as well. Good trade for the Bulls/Raptors, given the likelihood that they lose Bosh in 2010. They could at least try to rejuvenate the team with Amare, and try to re-sign him. A superstar is a superstar here. Chris Bosh or Amare Stoudemire, either are great for the Bulls.
I don't think this will happen, either. Chicago is becoming the Lakers', rumors with every unhappy superstar.
Id rather do a two team trade with the Raptors and not have the Suns involved. This whole Amar'e business is pinching the shit out of my nerves. Not in a good way, just.....the aggravation.
I can't picture any logical reason for this trade to happen, and think it's compelte BS. But hey, I'll be happy to oblige everyone if it means getting Bosh.
Did anyone else see Gordon and Rose openly commenting on Chris Bosh to the Bulls? What's that say about the current big men when your guards are talking about how great it will be to play with so and so, even when seemingly, there is a low chance of that happening. Eh...I guess the 82games positional rankings say enough about our bigs already ( http://www.82games.com/0809/BYPOSIT.HTM )
