Bosh will not be back in Toronto. He'll shop a sign and trade.

    Nice. There will be a lot of competition out there for him though. Hell if we pull of the right trade, Toronto can just change their name to the Toronto European Softies!

    I think he ends up in Miami or where ever James ends up. If it were me, I'd go to Miami. No state income tax, south beach, instant contender with Wade, and with a S&T, they would still have a butt load of money for another very good FA. Then again, Miami has absolutely nothing to offer, so they would need to get anohter team involved.

    When can Aldridge be traded with his full salary? Isn't he one of those ppp players until a certain date?

    If we sign and trade for Bosh . . . maybe we can get Hedo too.

    You should share that in the Rapists supporters forum.

    I wonder if any players have the nickname "Filler".

    Keith Van Horn... the guy announced his retirement then that summer signed a 6 mil contract to be traded and then released. Nice little payday in a days work for his agent

    I am sure we can sign Diener for enough cash value to make it work out!

    Not exactly, he actually announced his retirement in the summer of 2006, didn't play at all in the 06-07 season. Then in the 07-08 season he was signed in February at the trade deadline as cap filler in the Kidd trade while never playing a game.

    I remember that part of the trade. How did the NBA allow that? If that isn't an example of circumventing the salary cap and the spirit of the CBA, I don't know what is. I guess the plus is that it's been money wasted for Dallas in terms of winning a title.

    Bulls S&T Deng for LeBron.
    Bulls S&T Hinrich to Atlanta for Johnson.
    Bulls sign Bosh outright.

    Lights out.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Alternate, equally realistic scenario:

    Blazers trade sign-and-trade Rudy Fernandez for LeBron James.
    Blazers trade sign-and-trade Travis Diener for Chris Bosh.

    Lights out!

    We should both totally be GMs. We have this thing figured out.

    The rumor is S&T Deng for LeBron. This leaves the Bulls with cap space to sign another FA outright. I'd think LeBron would be a decent attraction (plus the money) to a UFA.

    The Hinrich for Johnson deal is one I'm told Atlanta would be all over it. Not sure they would, especially if the Bulls did the S&T for LeBron. But Atlanta is going to lose Johnson for nothing otherwise.
