Bosh is a really good player, one I would sign for the max because he's a max player and thats a solid asset to have. Worst case is you can always get a nice package of talent back in a trade for a guy like Bosh if healthy.
However he's so soft defensively and he gets banged up a lot. He may play through it, but as DJ has documented several times his play goes into serious decline during these stretches. I would prefer an athletic and more physical presence next to Lee. Lee is a great scorer, he really his.
I know I am waffling here some, but my beef w/ Bosh is he takes up so much $$$. $17mm is a lotta bling. Especially when you consider combo's of players... like $9mm for Tyrus Thomas and $7mm for Mike Miller. Maybe a guy like Brandon Haywood. Maybe we use the cap space to trade for Ok4 and put him next to Lee. Maybe we take Elton Brand for Eddie Curry in a salary dump by Phili.
I think Douglas, Chandler, Gallo and Lee is a solid base of players. You add a center and a playmaker and I think you have something. Those are good BB players who continue to improve. Lee wont be cheap but if you give him 6 years starting at $9mm thats a $70mm contract. Thats a TON of money, but the $9mm for Lee vs. the $17mm for Bosh is a KILLER.
