    No OKC is what I immediately thought of.

    If he goes to the Lakers for Bynum, I'm gonna throw up.

    I think he'll go to the Bulls for Noah and Hinrich, plus whatever else it takes.

    Rose
    LeBron
    Bosh

    Holy Crap

    Who says Toronto is going to help him? They have let players walk before.

    Secondly, player list of desired destinations are nice in their minds I am sure. But if the reality is that they only have sign and trade options in certain places, they can't do much about it if they want their money.

    Well, Toronto can't do much unless they really do want to let Bosh leave for free. If that's the case, I expect Colangelo to soon be out of a job, since that team minus Bosh is going nowhere.

    I expect him to be out of a job anyhow. He hasn't done Babcock bad, but he has done pretty badly since he has been there.

    He can try to leverage these five teams against each other to get something of value for Bosh. Hypothetically, getting a Noah and a Hinrich would be better than nothing, wouldn't it? Then Bosh gets his 6th year, and Toronto isn't completely a joke. I think Colangelo needs to get something in return for Bosh, considering how badly he bungled his cap space last year (and for which I will forever be grateful!).

    If I'm John Paxson, I'm voluntarily offering Deng or Hinrich as S&T fodder for Lebron, Wade, or Bosh. If they can free up the necessary space to get two of those guys instead of just one...

    I wonder if Milwaukee has ever been on anybody's list?

    Hey, we can always hope for a Paxsonian blunder.

    Why would OKC not be on his list? They'd be an instant contender if they got him. I'm not complaining, just sayin.
    Westbrook, Durant, Green, Bosh... oh my!
    But they'd probably have to give up either/both Westbrook and Green to get Bosh.

    If they give up their draft holds, they don't have to trade anything...they have enough space to sign him to the max.

    Bosh won't go to OKC. IMHO he is a bit of a prima donna. I like his game, but I don't care for his act. He wants LA, NY, Chicago, Miami..... Not sure OKC (or Portland) has anything in common with the names being thrown out there.
