All this conjecture about what is happening might also lead to Donnie using leverage or a game of bluff.

He can threaten to pull out but that really is bad form for all. Bringing back ZDump is not the end of the world.

But perhaps at the last minute he got a better offer and has that in his back pocket if need be.

Toronto could be heading for a shake-up. It's unlikely Bosh will re-sign with them. I think you would need Randolf's contract to make a deal work. aWishful thinking but hopeful anyway.

I think it's just me being delusional. But, if we got Bosh now, could it lay the foundation for Lebron? I think Toronto will look to get some good value on Bosh from someone. Could they go out and land two in 2010? Why not get some value for Bosh. Young players like Nate, Lee, Chandler and a first round pick might be attractive to them?

Or we can just keep our prospects and picks and sign Bosh in a year and a half

Yeah, we would not be in a great situation having next to no supporting cast by trading them away now. Not that Bosh is Garnett, but wasn't Garnett like the only good player on that team for years?

I think we are doing things the right way. Getting rid of Zach and Crawford give us time to build a great supporting cast over the next two years. Hopefully Gallo can heal and Wilson continues to improve. Don't forget Nate as well. It might look pretty good to two super stars stepping into free agency.

That's the issue here we need to build or assets, Nate, Chandler, Gallo and have time so they can grow and be ready for the next step in two years.

There's no way we get Bosh in a trade. Who the hell came up with that idea?

Crazy talk just because the LA deal isn't done yet. It will be over soon.

Forget 2010, Donnie is the man and will get both Lebron and Bosh now that he is re-thinking the Zach deal. Its obvious this is the reason for the holdup.

By 2010, LeBron will have a bad back and Chris Bosh will have injured his knee...

Knicks have until 6:30 to approve the deal. They say they are waiting for new tests on Mobley.

Nobody has mentioned Dallas but is it true that Donnie checked with them to up the offer? Is it allowed? Nobody has mentioned them so I guess noting is happening...

If the Knicks get Jerry Stackhouse and Josh Howard for Randolph or the Clips include Camby or a first we'll all be happier. So, why not wait until the deadline to accept?

Well, if Donnie voids this trade that may very bad for him in the eyes of the rest of the NBA, every team will think twice about trading with Donnie, knowing that deal might get pulled at the last minute, so this deal must go through for all parties involved, this team needs these players tonite against the Cavs.

Mobley failed a physical. How does that make Walsh look bad?

It's called business - and if a better offer was on the table any GM in the league would do the same. Trades are not finalized until the physical is passed - like Commander said - Mobley failed it so the trade is nixed.

Walsh isn't a new GM. Nobody is going to form a bad opinion of him from one deal.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
