God bless those Raptor fans…they're passionate, knowledgeable and…wildly optimistic? Frankly, I think everyone BUT the Raps are in the driver's seat for signing Bosh. They have two choices: lose him outright or take the best offer they can get knowing that the first choice is always the other option. I think most teams that are targeting Bosh would love to have him, but not at the price of gutting their own teams (hence not being championship-caliber, and therefore not what Bosh would want to begin with). And particularly with Morey, I seriously doubt BC will pull a shakedown, particularly when Morey has said he won't gut the team. If the recent trade had proved anything, Morey is fast becoming the Keyzer Soze of the GMs.

is there a strong possibility to get grainder from indiana in a trade?
also this should happen after the bosh trade
For a bosh trade: Ariza, anderson, taylor, hill, and the 2011 knicks pick and 2011 rockets pick
For a granger trade: Jefferies/ battier, hayes, 2012 knicks pick, and 2010 houston rockets pick

...Also sign: brad miller or shaq
Brad cuase he can shoot or shaq coming off the bench gives you a solid back up in the paint along side luis

The team would look somewhat like this if all this occured
PG: Brooks, Lowlry
SG: Martin, Budinger
SF: Granger,Battier/jefferies
PF: Bosh, Scola
C: Yao, Brad/Shaq

This team could go all the way with any one in there way

i agree charlis. holako sounded quite bitter and irrational during the interview. hell, his own readers are more down to earth than him. i guess he thinks he has to spice things up for his audience and give the fans something to hope for.

it shall be a glorious day when rahat replaces queen solomon.

Here's the max I' be willing to offer Toronto. Ariza, Battier, Anderson,Taylor and the Knicks 1st.

Three players I would like to see us get Grainger as a SF, Bosh and Lee at pf/c.

I would certainly entertain dealing Yao and the Ariza Battier package in a three team trade Toronto-Indy-Houston. Lee we could sign as our center in free agency.

The PF/C postitions could be handled by Scola, Bosh, Lee,, Jefferies Hill.

We need to keep our second unit in tack. Hill, Bud, Lowery. Jefferies played almost as good the the first unit and we made up ground in games against the other team's second unit when they rotated into the game. Why screw that up by trading away Bud and Hill

To make the trade simpler I would offer Yao for Bosh straight up, then go to Indy with the Ariza, Battier, Anderson, Knicks 1st for Grainger. We would need to be top bidder for Lee which wouldn't be that hard.
