Bosh trade

I wouldn't be surprised if Bosh went to Miami although we seem to be about a day early on negotiations.

If Miami gets Bosh via sign and trade how much money are they left with? Obviously not enough for another max but enough for a Joe Johnson or even a Rudy Gay?

If Bosh truly is off the board I wouldn't be dissapointed if we finally landed this guy either after many, many safaris:

not confirmed... reported by lebatard but everything still says it is a proposed deal

If this is true, I feel the cavs could have made a better deal. At the moment Mo > Chalmers, Varejao >Anthony and Hickson > Beasley(with his issues)

It does not matter if the Cavs could make a better offer. The sequence of events has to go in this order 1. Bosh tells Raptors he wants to go to Team X, 2. Toronto and Team X work out a trade that gets Bosh $$ and Toronto something they value (flexibility, players, draft picks). Toronto will not get the world for Bosh but they will get something.

Miami-

based sports writer Dan LeBatard is reporting that Chris Bosh may be sent to the Heat in a sign-and-trade for Michael Beasley, Mario Chalmers, and Joel Anthony.

So far this is an unconfirmed report, and it might be a red herring since Joel Anthony isn't even under contract with the Heat (he declined the qualifying offer). In any case, no deals can be made official until the stroke of midnight

People need to keep in mind that Bosh needs to AGREE to come to Cleveland for a sign-an-trade, and there sure as hell isn't a chance of that happening without a commitment that LeBron will be returning.

Example 907 of LeBron holding this organization hostage.

He needs to do more than agree. He pretty much needs to request it.

Doesn't sound like someone who wants a deal done at 12:01 am.

Let's just all calm down. Just think back to the past few weeks of reporting. In other words, there are going to be LOTS of false reports over the next few days. Let's wait and see what happens.

As far as this deal to Miami, it's a day too early for it to be happening. But, I do think it's possible a deal like this gets worked out for Bosh to go to Miami. Don't fret - there's a lot of good names still on the market. In fact, one could argue it makes more sense to use our assets to bring in two tier b free agents in S&t than 1 tier 1 free agent.

Honestly, today is Wednesday June 30 - I'm much more concerned about getting Shaw named Head Coach today. We need all of our FO pieces in place as we move into free agency. It just doesn't send a good message otherwise.

If this is true, then the Cavs biggest strategy for keeping LeBron goes out the window. And I do think it has a good chance of being accurate, considering Bosh was going house-hunting in Miami and he has said the Heat have a good chance of signing him. This doesn't eliminate the possibility of LeBron staying, but it sure does lessen the Cavs' chances.

Could be 24 hours left until he teams up with Wade and possibly LeBron to dominate the NBA for the next 5 years.... That would give me nightmares...

It's definitely a day too early.. I also have to feel that Toronto will want to listen to as many offers as possible from Bosh's list of destinations. I think this may just be the first of many deals that will be tabeled over the next few days/weeks

this eliminates a suitor along with the assumed that bosh and lebron would both go to chicago. I see how this does nothing but increase lebrons chances of staying.

I dont think Bosh is happening. I know there are alot of bogus reports out there but it just sounds like the guy is going to end up with the Heat. I'm ok with it, I would love to have Bosh but I still think there are plenty of guys out there than can improve this team. Grant needs to look at other options because I dont think Bosh was a realistic move to begin with.
