Thoughts On NBA at midseason

The word is that right now Ernie is asking too much for Jamison and that Butler will probably end up in Dallas.

I have heard a lot of people talking about Wade coming to Cleveland. I can't imagine that. Bosh is possible but Lebron will have to do some selling.

Z ill's contract is a problem. LOL. I remember someone talking about that last summer.

Lastly, X man went to Witchita St and always had a aura about him as a man not to be fooled with. I remember when Webber and Howard played in Washington and we were sitting courtside (at cap centre, you could hear them breathe it was so empty) and you could hear Xman completely emasculating both of the wanna be young thugs. Hilarious.

They arent gonna get much for those two. Z's contract isn't a problem, it is an asset. Why would you think it is a problem? They have to give Washington something in return for Jamison and cap space would seem to be better than paying a 34 year old guy big money for a bad team. I mean seriously who else would the Wizards want that has value?

Why in the world wouln't Bosh want to play with James? Add him to Cleveland and you have a new, prohibitive favorite. He solves a lot of thier problems and doesnt need the ball in his hands all the time. I don't think Wade would be happy being a complimentary player, especially now in his prime years.

Read back. You called Z's contract a problem a few posts ago. You said a trade for Jamison would take care of two problems in one. Come on...have you turned into John Kerry?

Bosh might come to Cleveland but it would take a sell. A lot easier to sell him on Miami I would think than on Cleveland. Maybe the whole weather thing. Maybe Miami might be just a slightly nicer city for a rich, single young man to live. Besides, Bosh could get closer to equal billing with Wade. In Cleveland, he would be much more second fiddle to Lebron.

I did nothing of the sort. Where did I say his contract was a problem? I said Jamison would take care of two problems 1. Someone to take minutes from Hickson who is lost most of the time and 2.Jamison would be a better matchup on Gasol than anyone else on cleveland.

Wade owns Miami. Bosh is a complimentary player and he knows it. Miami has big problems. No one is going to the games, the owner wont spend any money, they have no one worth a damn on the roster outside of Wade. (Beasley wont ever be more than a 17-9 guy who is a headcase)

It wasnt clear and i read it wrong.

the owner will spend money for a contender and Riley is the ultimate pitch man. Who does cleveland have that is anything better than what miami has when you back out wade and lebron?

So it comes down to Lebron's sidekick in cleveland or Wade's in South Beach for the same money. You tell me where you would go.

Cleveland is a better situation. He fits great with the players they have. Miami is a mess. Wade isnt happy, they stink, and they are trying to sell off guys. If Wade sees that they arent getting an impact guy you think he stays?

Where is Wade going to go? . Miami doesnt stink. They are about .500 and getting Bosh and maybe one more player will make them contenders.

Its not all about team success when players make these descisions. Heck, they both could end up in new york.

Chicago. It makes a lot of sense. Miami does stink. they are not a good team, they have gaping holes everywhere. Being 26-27 in the East is not good.

NY doesnt have the space and unless Isiah suddenly gets an NBA job and trades for jefferies, that wont change.
