Get a life! Go create your own exciting thread! (but that would take some thought and creativity! hmmm)
whatever you think of aldridge he's worth more than 1/2 season of bosh. bosh isn't signing anything now.
His game equal's his face? I don't get your logic, but I'll play. If his game is equal to his face, than I see a ice-veined clutch PF who doesn't let anyone rattle his cage or effect his game. A Kevin Garnett type PF is once in a lifetime. Skills and fury. Bosh has the skills, So does LMA. Neither has the fury of KG. As soon as we get our Big's back and a rebounding SF, LMA will be more than adequate. He's going nowhere.
Why oh why is it so difficult for so many people to grasp the concept of giving something to get something? Bosh was good enough to play a significant role on the USA olympic team, LMA is struggling and underperforming this year, Blake is playing at below replacement level, Outlaw is hobbling around on a bum foot and the Raps don't need cap-space for Bosh since he's already an expiring contract. Secondly try to see this from the Raptors end long term: A front court of Aldridge and Bargnani would be epically bad on defense and give them zero post presence.
One of the main reasons we have become over .500 is because of Bargnani's post D, so this can be a little off, though your point is valid.
Thank You! I was starting to question my bb IQ. BOSH >>>>> LA Not even close. How many double-double's does LA have this year? Bosh = 27 out of, what, 30 games? Bosh is the aggressive PF this Blazer team NEEDS to become Champions. I say: trade whatever it takes to get Bosh. Anyone but Roy, Miller, Oden, Bayless, Batum, Rudy, Cunningham, Pendergraph, Mills.
So basically, you're saying don't trade for Bosh. Because Toronto wouldn't trade him for what we'd be left to offer them.
I left a list of: Aldridge Outlaw Blake Webster Pryzbilla What is Houston going to send to TO that we can't better? Oh yeh, I forgot: I also left Howard! LOL I think Aldridge + a healthy Outlaw (and they can use Blake and his expiring contract before the deadline) would be a nice package - especially if Bosh indicates that he won't re-sign!
I don't know of a better team to be trading with (over the Blazers), when it comes to TO trading BOSH. If Utah wanted to trade Boozer and their number 1 pick (from NY), then this "might" be a better package for Colangelo to consider. And Bosh's addition to Utah would make them solid. Houston doesn't have much to offer Toronto (although this is the chatter); And Miami -? I don't think they'll part with Wade for Bosh...the idea has been for Bosh to play with Wade - so I just don't see much there. The 76'ers? Iguadala + Dalembert + #1 pick for Bosh? Maybe...but not as strong as LA + Outlaw + Blake in my opinion. So help me out here - "homerism" aside, what team can offer up more for Bosh (today) and not deplete their team by doing so?
Toronto can have Pryz!!! I love Pryz. But Pryz has no doubt seen his last game in a Blazer uniform. His rehab time will not have him playing until mid-year 2010/11 season at best - so if we can move him and his 2010-2011 expiring now....great.
What do you base this on? Cause I'm saying he doesn't. LaMarcus is a good jump shooter that's mediocre in every other phase of the game. He is what he is. I've never seen anything from him to show that he's anything else. Being angry that he's not Chris Bosh doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense to me.
Some Portland fans used to say the same thing about Rasheed Wallace. What I think it comes down to is, people realize they can't be angry at a player for lacking talent. That's just obviously silly. So they pull out the "He could be the best [or close to it], but chooses not to be" card in order to have justification for being angry at the player.
But, but, but . . . if you ignore Boom, how are you going to know about all of his ultra-realistic trade proposals that he whips up everyday? Oh wait . . . I think you're onto something there!
Apparently the Lakers might give up Bynum for Bosh. On the face of it that looks great for LA, as Bynum is pretty much redundant for them unless Gasol is injured (in which case they're not going to win anything). Bynum is the Lakers' Marcin Gortat. BUT this guy (local media) doesn't think much of Bosh:
