		<description><![CDATA[Ownership and front office: Alexander, Morey, Adelman vs. Reinsdorf, Forman, and Thibodeau.  Both owners have championships but come on you know Alexander is the better owner. Both established GMs but Morey is a numbers guru and just doesn’t make bad decisions when involved with trades and the draft, Adelman is definitely the more established coach.  Is there anyone that thinks Thibodeau will out coach Adelman? Thibodeau can teach d but needs a lot of help on the offense.  

Center and point guard: Yao and Brooks vs. Rose and Noah.  
Yao29 (career) 19.1pts, 9.3rebounds, 1.9 blk, 52.5%fgs, 83.2%fts. 
Noah25(09-10) 10.7pts, 11rebounds, 1.56 blk, 50.4%gs, 74.4%fts.

Brooks25(09-10) 19.6pts, 5.3ast, .84stl, 43.2%fg, 39.8%3pt%. 
Rose21 (09-10) 20.8 pts, 6 ast, .73stl, 48.9%fg, 26.7% 3pt%, 

Houston has the maturity without being old(25 and 29 vs. 21 and 25).  Rose and Noah have a couple years for maturity and learning a new system.

Role players: Taj Gibson and Deng vs. Battier, Ariza, Scola, Martin.  Does that need to be debated?  Houston has the role players and Chicago would need to add them.

City and media.  Chicago 3rd largest city.  Houston 4th.  Chicago controls the Midwest.  Houston controls China.  Where do you think you are going to make more money in advertisement and global popularity?

Bosh alone.  Chicago-Noah, Bosh, Rose, Deng, Gibson off the bench, and then overpaid, to old, or overrated free agent signings.
Houston-Yao, Bosh, Ariza, Martin, Brooks, with Battier, Scola, Patterson, Hayes, and a couple free agents (like Brad miller and Foye). Sign and trade Hill, Buddinger, Lowry, Anderson, Jeffries, and draft picks

Bosh and Wade.  Chicago Noah, Bosh, Wade, and Rose.  Everyone else would have to come from free agency.  Everyone.  No depth so a championship would be at least 2-3 years away to get the right role players.  
Houston Yao, Bosh, Ariza, Wade, Brooks.  Battier,  Hill, Patterson, Hayes,  and a couple free agents (Miller and a pg). Sign and trade Martin, Scola, Lowry, Buddinger, Lowry, Anderson, Jeffries, and draft picks

Injuries.  Yes Yao has been injury prone, but Noah was not the healthiest (64 games) at times either.  Injuries are a part of the game so that makes the supporting cast all that more important.  Kendrick Perkins is a great example.  So this part you want to ask if this player goes down, who replaces him?

General opinionated comparison- More money for the player-Houston; Championship chances within the next season or two-Houston; Team and front office cohesion-Houston; Pizza-Chicago; Popular choice-Chicago; best choice-Houston.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If everything ya&#039;ll are saying is correct then it should be a no brainer and Bosh will be in Houston.  

I am in Holland right now working and have been crazy about this looking for updates on all the key free agent moves.  

What I hate is that it always seems that the media is so &quot;Anti-Houston&quot;!  Why is that?  I think that this affects our chances of getting a true superstar at times!

We have the best supporting cast in the NBA!  That is a fact.  We had our star player out and still played .500 basketball.  Next year we get our big man back who is fine with not being the number one option so why is it that the top level free agents are not beating our door down so that they can win a championship?

I say if they go to all of these big hype teams with no supporting cast then they deserve what they get!  I am not going to feel sorry for them!  Where has all the honor and pride gone in the NBA?

Last words...

$100,000,000 can last you a lifetime but the legacy you leave behind on the game will last forever!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If everything ya&#039;ll are saying is correct then it should be a no brainer and Bosh will be in Houston.  

I am in Holland right now working and have been crazy about this looking for updates on all the key free agent moves.  

What I hate is that it always seems that the media is so &quot;Anti-Houston&quot;!  Why is that?  I think that this affects our chances of getting a true superstar at times!

We have the best supporting cast in the NBA!  That is a fact.  We had our star player out and still played .500 basketball.  Next year we get our big man back who is fine with not being the number one option so why is it that the top level free agents are not beating our door down so that they can win a championship?

I say if they go to all of these big hype teams with no supporting cast then they deserve what they get!  I am not going to feel sorry for them!  Where has all the honor and pride gone in the NBA?

Last words...

$100,000,000 can last you a lifetime but the legacy you leave behind on the game will last forever!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[i thought i heard a while back that Bosh said he wanted to be the &quot;Man&quot;. why is he so focused on being Robin?

		<description><![CDATA[As to what Toronto is looking for, their roster is loaded with with 4&#039;s and 5&#039;s.  They have PG&#039;s.  It looks like they have more need for 3&#039;s who could score.  Ariza would actually be a good player for them.  Scola could pick up some slack left by Bosh.  Doubt they have use for Hill.  Draft picks are always nice, but I doubt that would be needed unless other teams in the chase start ponying up their picks.  Of course, none of the picks look as good as the NY swap in 2011.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kevin,

Now the only person that needs to realize this is Bosh! He is so set on trying to play with Wade or Lebron that he is screwing himself in the process. It is difficult to win a title in any sport so how does he or anyone else know for sure that him and Wade or Lebron will win a championship without a supporting cast. If he is dead set on hugging Wade&#039;s or Lebron&#039;s scrotum sacs, then he will take less money, play second or third fiddle, and call it a day.


&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;comment-3532&quot;&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-3532&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Kevin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Yeah.Bucher, who is my favorite ESPN employee (other than you of course) tweeted the following earlier today: “Tor’s threat not to S&amp;T Bosh is to get his attention. Pick up the phone or it could cost you $30m. Truth is, Raps can’t afford not to S&amp;T.”He also tweeted this: “Hou makes the most sense for Bosh. Best S&amp;T offer, he gets to play PF next to All-Star C (Yao) + he’s set up as main star moving forward.”I love reading what I already know when it’s from the experts.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
