Im not. I just have an idea on how teams are made. Some don't. Its not about throwing a bunch of guys together and seeing if they can play together. Guys have to get their shots. There has to be players to do different roles. You can't say "derrick Rose is the point guard and i dont see a problem with that". That is an ignorant statement. You are asking a guy that has never distributed the ball in his life, never played second fiddle in his life and never had to spot up in his life to suddenly have to do these things and expect it to work simply because he is talented. Basketball doesnt work that way.

Would they be good? Sure they would be good. Wade and Bosh would be good with anyone around them. At the same time, in order to seriously contend, you would need a guy to get them their shots and hit an open three.

Anyway, it is silly to argue. I think Wade and Bosh end up together and I would agree that Chicago has a shot (isnt it wade's hometown?) but no more so than New York or Miami and I think Miami would be the favorite. What is your opinion?

She acts like Rose is Iverson. He isnt. That he has never played second fiddle doesnt mean he has issues, it just means he has been better than his teammates. The thought that he couldnt fit with Wade in the backsourt is beyond dumb. This isnt baseball where you cant ask Jim Thome to bunt and steal bases because he physically cant do it. Players adapt to different roles all the time. Look at Channing Frye. he went from being pretty much a stiff low post, high post player to a good perimeter shooter because he plays on a different team that has a different use for him. The idea that Rose cant play the point on a good team with other weapons is misguided. He idea that he wouldnt play second fiddle to one of the games very best players who would compliment his game and make him better is misguided.

In what Bizzarro world did Channing Frye play low post? LOL I must not watch a lot of basketball and I must have imagined those days he was popping out to 19 ft every chance he got. I guess he has back to the basket moves that he never showed and only U of A alums with the special decoder ring had a chance to see in private midnight intramural games.

Its not whether rose can play pg on a good team its whether he could play it with those players you named.

And after re-reading all of this jibber-jabber I am more convinced than ever Bosh and Wade end up in Miami.

I have a bet chuckster. I bet wade/bosh miami. You say wade/bosh chicago. If neither happens push. If it goes down, $1000 against pair of trainers/owners seats for derby 2011.

Deal?

Amare gets onto the Cavs roster and it's over for the rest of the East. Da Bulls could've pulled of this trade before the cavs even had a chnace and once again they choked. Kevin G. is changing his home phone number right as we speak because he doesn't want the C's calling him to see why he istn't coming to work. ha ha

If Phoenix makes the proposed AS for Z's contract, Hickson and a late number 1 I would be surprised. I know they want to get rid of him but you are essentially getting .50 on the dollar.

Since my bet would be contingent on Chicago trading Hinrich/Thomas for the space I will pass on your generous offer.

You told everyone that my hypothesis of Chicago opening up cap space and getting Wade and Bosh wouldnt happen because "teams arent built that way". Yet when they did exactly that but came up short because Wade needs to stay in Miami and Bosh decides to join him rather than go to Cleveland you all of a sudden were right?

Yeah you and gales have something in common. You love the chalk.

[dalakhani]

Now Miami was chalk back in february when i predicted this?

You can't just say, "you were right and I was wrong on this one"?

You said Chicago and I offered a wager on it. You then said the reason that you wouldnt bet is was because Chicago would have to get rid of the heinrich and Thomas contracts. They did indeed rid themselves of both contracts and still Bosh and Wade end up in Miami.

Come on Chuck...even if its by PM, you have to admit...

Its not whether rose can play pg on a good team its whether he could play it with those players you named.

When the Knicks drafted him they tried to play him in the low post. The next year they got fat boy and tried Frye at the high post.

I dont really have to delve into the 3 pt stats for his career to show that he now plays on the perimeter now do i?

Anybody who thinks Wade, Bosh, Deng, Noah and Rose isnt a good team is just being obstinate

So you were right in taking the path that everyone at that point thought they would take.

That doesnt make me wrong because I never said where I thought they would wind up. Why is it so hard for you to give up your futile accusations? LOL

You cant find a post where I said that I thought they were going to Chicago because I NEVER SAID IT!!!

LOL
