basically said the following:

- had little to no contact with bosh, and his agent also has had very little contact with bosh thus signalling bosh's end in toronto

- he prepped the fanbase for bosh to leave for nothing or a TPE and picks. he will not take back bad contracts

so.......if you want to play sherlock holmes...bosh is either going to sign outright with a team (chi, ny or miami) but the scenario he laid out about TPE and picks lean heavily towards miami or chicago b/c the knicks don't have picks to deal.

if true, SAS says CHEEZE DOODLZ...

where do you stand on that subject, i'm not sure we know?

I don't see that the sign and trade helps much anyway. Bosh is going to choose which team he wants to go to. If the difference of where he wants to play is based on a sign and trade, I'm not that sure I want him. But, even if the sign and trade was the answer, I don't see Toronto taking Eddy Curry in return, so it means Bosh would've used up the major piece of our cap room.

Everything I have heard out of Houston is that they are targeting Bosh with a sign and trade offer. A combination of Hill, picks and possibly another player is what I have read up to this point.

they can target but the chance of Bosh going to Houston is right around nil.

and im targeting to have penelope cruz over one day this week.

And if you happened to have Tom Cruise's cell phone to make the call from, you might have a pretty good shot!

Ultimate insult will be Bosh to Houston for Hill, our picks and filler.

that would just add a big nasty cherry to the top of this mess of a team if that happened... hopefully something like that never occurs, or else the excuse makers are gonna run out of excuses.

there is always an escapegoat route... the spin of missing out on lbj could be fascinating (from the FO).

Wade, expected to stay in Miami, and Bosh reportedly have agreed to recruiting visits to New York but they could be courtesy calls. In fact, Wade will first try to get Bosh to play with him in Miami, not New York. Wade and Bosh have the same agent.

'Miami is in top contention," Bosh told the Miami Herald. "With the money they have, the cap space they have, the rights on Dwyane [Wade], him possibly staying. And just having a good organization; they are known as a first-class organization."

we haven't heard many direct quotes from the bigname FA's themselves but Chris Bosh seems to have let the cat out of the bag with this quote.
