With Bosh in the fold already, our chances of signing Lebron improves dramatically. You resign Bosh to max, you sign Lebron to a max deal, and then you let everyone else go except maybe Hughes if you can get him cheap. Next years team is Hughes, Chandler, Lebron, Gallo, and Bosh, with Jeffries, Douglas, Curry and Bender on our bench. I think that team can compete for a championship in its second year after we add one more solid FA with the money from Curry and Jeffries deals expiring.

If Toronto falters over the next month, I approach them about working out a Lee/Hill/Nate for Bosh and a second round pick. Toronto gets a good young power forward to replace Bosh along with a young Bosh-like prospect in Hill. Nate can be their backup PG if they decide to resign him. Who else is going to give Toronto a better deal than that?

not a bad deal, but if they are floundering with bosh, why make the deal that sweet. I mean lee, nate and our lottery pick? if we did that, they they would have to give us their 2010 pick, unprotected..

F no. Keep Lee

For clarity: So if it came down to signing Lee or Bosh, you would take Lee?

C'mon Briggs hasn't TMS made this point a million times Bosh >>>>>> Lee in terms of helping us woo Lebron/Wade. Plus Bosh is a better all round player. I really dont get what people have against Bosh.

if we sign Bosh & Lebron somehow rejects us i'd have no problem at all w/re-signing D Lee to an extension... i don't see where he'd fit tho, we drafted Jordan Hill for a reason... Chris Bosh & Hill in the frontcourt would be our likely future tandem... IMO if we somehow land Bosh i think Al Harrington would have more of a shot to be re-signed than D Lee cuz of his ability to hit the 3 pointer & i think J Bender will be here next season as well.

Don't you mean Utah's lottery pick? Because ours is actually theirs.

I dont think Al Harrington is in the mix, especially considering the emergence of Gallo and Wilson.

BTW I wouldnt mind getting Amare, resigning Lee, getting a starting pg then sigb Melo in 2011. We would probably have the capspace to do that then resign Chandler too.
