Patrick: I KNow EVERYTHING,
Actually, Timmy is more of a center. He’s 7 feet tall and guards the opposing centers typically and they guard him so he’s a center. Bosh would be a good fit in San Antonio.
But Houston looks to be an even better fit.    

Yeah, the insistence that Duncan is a PF is one of the weirdest things about the last decade of basketball. Never understood it.

But Houston looks to be an even better fit.

Really? I find Rockets basketball Gorgeous… And i hear many (Non-rockets) fans love the games against the rockets because of how we play.

Scola is a hard worker and a good basketball player… But we’re in a league of MISMATCHES.

Heres the question you ask yourself…. Does Scola create as much offense on the low Post as Chris Bosh… the answer is no… because people will rotate to Bosh and Not Scola.

Yao with a chest pass from 3 ft = a dunk every time. Scola won’t create that Bosh will.

Not to mention The LAKERS.

Honestly id rather see Bosh V. Gasol then Scola v. Gasol. because Bosh is bigger and stronger.

If you force the lakers to play with no bigs (because your bigs are dominating) you can beat the lakers.

Couple that with great Outside scoring and Interior defense. your doing well.

My question… Who plays SF?

Luv the part about how the Knicks have a good shot even though they don’t… You know what the Knicks actually have a good shot at? Signing Tracy McGrady to the contract hes not worth.

jason b.,
yeah, i’ve thought about that – i don’t like his persona one bit. but i don’t think it’s nearly enough to deter me from wanting him in a league where talent overrides all considerations. if we were expecting this guy to lead us like a kobe or a superstar, we’d be in for a huge surprise. but we’re asking him to just be one of many talented pieces, or just the most talented piece – kind of like rasheed with the pistons. he wasn’t their leader, but he was probably their best player, among many damn good players. that’s how i see it with bosh. and sure we’ll have to pay him like an alpha-dog, but that’s just how it goes.

Richard,
yeah i know he didn’t list them in order of priority, but it was just weird that we were excluded from the first group. i think what you said about the luxury tax part makes sense…i hope.

Anthony,
I’m not with you here man. I can’t justify paying that guy when Scola can be had for much cheaper.

bob schmidt,
shocking that noone has advised this guy that his antics are turning people off. you’d think his agent would step in at some point for his own good.

DaRealDikHuntr,
LOL. i’m far too irrrelevant for any of my rhetorical diarrhea to ever matter.

RFWC,
i think it’s mainly just our market

Pest_Ctrl,
lol yeah, except now they have nothing left to offer us – he already robbed them of the only assets they had left.

In a league with priorities discombobulated, it’s interesting to see that solid team-building blocks not being valued while ball-hogs are given max contracts.

Insanity is doing the same over and over again and expect outcomes to be different.

I saw the post about the new CBA nullifying contracts. I just filed that as under journalistic malpractice. If you make your bed by signing ball hogs to max contracts you can’t expect to be bailed out by fantasy that flys in the face of all the negotiations.

NBA would like to see parity. But the game is influenced disproportionately by the few freak talents. As much as the league would like parity, the new CBA will not facilitate this. Only when the league wakes to not valuing ball hogs and valuing defense more will the dynamic change.

Valuing defense however, promotes ugly ball. Something the league doesn’t care for either.

I don’t know why ESPN and other sport media outlets tag Houston as the most undesirable place. They are so caught up about where the superstars like Oprah, people from CSI: Miami, and the movie stars in L.A. live that it makes them believe that Houston has no one. They forget that some stars and former basketball players reside in Houston and when some current players (no matter what sport) train in the offseason..guess where they train? Houston. They act like we don’t have a culture of winning and want to win a title just as bad as these other “so-called” glamorous cities. Jon Barry should know better because his entire generation pretty much played for Houston (Rick, Brent, him, etc). I am frustrated just like you are because they are convinced that Houston can’t win anything..lord knows a title because they think we are not a glamorous city. I believe this “hate” came from Yao and McGrady being injured a lot. That is fine..they can hate all they want, but if the Rockets can stay healthy, be #1 or #2 in the West, and dethrone the Lakers, then watch how many of them flock to try to give us “love”.

Kevin: This whole thing is making me hate sports media so much more.It’s clear they hate Houston.Nobody in the media even watches our games.I laughed every time big media guys talked Artest-Ariza during those painfully long shooting slumps Ariza had, absolutely convinced Ariza was a much better player.I also wanted to track down Jon Barry and beat him to death (like I do every time he speaks) when he said that Crawford should beat out Landry for Sixth Man because Landry’s numbers were higher because all of his starts.Are you f***ing kidding me!He had no starts at that point!This was before that game he started at SF when we were shellacked by the Heat.This was when he was commentating a game and everyone including Hubie Brown nodded and agreed to this absolute B.S.!Sorry.I get frustrated sometimes.    

From a chemistry point of view, I’m not convinced that Bosh is a great personality to add to any team. But, I could be wrong on that. These guys should all hire a public relations person to handle their affairs. Like Rahat, I am tiring of the process and just want them to make their decisions so that we can move along to whatever reality that we face with our favorite team.

I still think that Houston has to be the most likely destination for Bosh, but will be satisfied if we simply add a veteran big to play behind Yao. It’s not the end of the world if we start this season without any big FA deals because we can address specific needs later on as the season unfolds. We are going to have a good team regardless. The “game playing” on Twitter will soon be over, and none too soon for me….

Since Amar’e is about to finalize his over payed and absurd 5 yr/$100 mil contract, could this open the gates for a S&T for David Lee. This guy gets no love! His numbers were equally comparable to Bosh and have been for a couple of years now. He’s a white dude on a crappy Knicks team. I would LOVE to see him in battle red to be honest.

re Bosh, I think you know I’ve been over his act for a while. And you’re probably right, fans should put that aside and consider only his game. But there’s a lot of talk about “producing the aggregate” on this blog. Isn’t his behavior indicative of a personality that a reasonable, championship organization may want to veto, owing to concerns about diminished production when the personality is removed from its small pond. This is my concern as a Bulls fan. And why I really want to see Bosh end up in Houston.
