We could maybe preempt the Cavs by getting involved in a 3-team deal where we S&T Lee for Bosh, and then send Bosh to Denver for Melo, or to NO for CP3, or to someplace else for some other player we want. Raptors get value, Bosh gets his sixth year (what a retard), and we get our player. The only one left in the lurch is the vacillating King, who will be heading to Chicago to be irrelevant. Sorry, but Lebron/Rose/Noah won't get past the second round.
Right there ya go Moon...You see where I'm coming from...I'd kinda get a kick outta taking King **** LeBron out of the drivers seat on all this for a little bit (I want the guy as much as anyone, but this whole thing is getting rediculous already)...Your plan makes some sense btw -- I didn't even think of that -- S&T for Bosh and then flip him in a deal for Melo...Very interesting....As a FA signing, Amar'e can't be dealt for awhile (several months I believe), but Bosh, acquired though a sign & trade, could be moved immediately (remember Q-Rich was traded like 10 times last summer it seemed LOL)...We'd be doing Bosh really dirty though esp. if he wanted no part of Denver (esp. going there minus Melo 
)...Tell ya what though, he'd be going to a team on a full 6-year max deal and he'd be able to be the man all by himself, which is something he's said he wants for himself...Denver might never be able to do any better for themselves too btw by getting Chis Bosh for Carmelo..
Very interesting indeed. How 'bout that -- a 3-way between us, Denver & Toronto?? Makes some sense to me..In order to make this work, I might sweeten it up a little and agree to send Chandler or even Gallo to Denver in order to seal the deal..In order to get Carmelo Anthony to come here right now -- I'd be willing to surrender Lee and one other player in order to first get Bosh, then include possibly another player to go to Denver along with Bosh...Sounds like a lot but we'd be getting a Melo/Amar'e combo to move forward with which I think is major and I still believe guys like Chandler, TD, even Gallo are all completely replaceable...Obviously I still value Gallo's potential a great deal -- if we could pull this off and still keep Gallo, homerun man...Go get me Melo to play with Amar'e right now and I'll figure out the rest (with that $15M in cap room next year, you use a majority of it to go get Tony Parker and lock him up July 1st, 2011)...
