    I really hope Bosh doesn't go to Houston, Rocket fans don't deserve it.

    No offense, but I'll take sub .500 teams for 1600, Alex.

    Heard on ESPN radio just now that HOU is offering Bosh 4yr/96 mil.

    1. How do they offer that kind of $ when they don't officially have the space?
    2. This prolly means they're pulling out of the Melo sweepstakes.
    3. Bosh should take that shit and run. 24 mil a year, and no income tax? How do you compete with that?
    4. Fuck Houston.

    1) They can clear the cap space easily, renounce Parsons trade Lin/Asik.

    2) They already have, supposedly. It has been reported its been a Lakers/NY battle for a few days now.

    3) Bosh LOVES playing with LeBron and LOVES Miami.

    4) Agree. Bosh + Dwight = we're fucked.

    How can they do it?

    even with the Asik trade, they don't have that kinda cap room.

    I know they can create that space (not easily as you say, but they can). Just sayin none of these deals have been official due to the moratorium-- so their offer is not official, just a verbal one I guess.

    Well, if Bron goes back to CLE, then Bosh is not gonna take a significant pay cut to stay with Wade.

    Another thing about all this, how pissed is Wade gonna be if Bron does indeed leave? He could have just opted out of 40mil/2yrs for no reason.

    If LeBron leaves, Bosh is gone and I believe that has been the unanimous belief since the start of FA. Mavs/Houston were clear favorites to go after Bosh in that scenario.

    And yes, it is easy as that for them. http://hoopshype.com/salaries/houston.htm

    Harden only makes 15 mill. Dwight is 22. They only have 2 players that make above 2 million, and that's Asik and Lin.

    And they supposedly already have an agreement in place to trade Asik, and the trade market is "huge" for Lin. The notion that they've spent poorly is very untrue. They have money.

    Apparantely Philly will absorb "Lin's" contract if there is a future first and player to go along with Lin.

    Lin and asiks cap figures are actually 8.3 I believe.

    Can you imagine if this happens, Lebron and Bosh leave while Wade gave up 2yrs/$40mill contract. DOH!

    Yeah that would suck for him. He's the guy on the back end of a fucked up situation. Miami would become a shit team in one summer swoop

    Meh. 4/55 is better than 2/40 and two very small deals because his knees will be shot.

    Maybe 2/10 if he is lucky

    If Portland was somehow able to trade Batum, Matthews, CJ and Aldridge for a sign and trade of both Wade and LBJ, would you do it?

    No because you'd leave us for the Miami Heat forum.
