If Toronto takes too long, they get nothing. People think Bosh can't live without the extra $30 million, what's that supposed to mean? Sprewell can't feed his kids, now Chris Bosh can't either?

 

Bosh will find himself another contract later on, he doesn't need the extra $30 million, he would like to have it, but if Toronto's being too picky, Bosh might just say screw it.

I understand the position that Toronto is in though. Bosh has basically made it known that he is leaving Toronto, but he needs them for the extra year and the extra money that no one else can offer, so he puts them in a really s***ty position.

 

Who's the bigger loser? Bosh for not getting the bigger contract, or Toronto for getting nothing in return for him?

I think it has more to with Colangelo wanting more than Beasley. He's trying to play the "we have all the leverage" card and its not really working. All the reports say they want Noah if its Chicago but the Bulls won't budge. Who knows.

Beasley and Chalmers was always going to be the Sign and Trade Offer from Miami if they could get Lebron also (but that isn't happening now it seems).

 

Signing Boozer is a bit of fools gold after seeing his performances for Utah over the years (and against the Lakers in the playoffs this season also).

Toronto for getting nothing in return. They're basically getting played.

Ya, both parties trying to make a name for themselves all the while pissing off all the people who are actually trying to keep up with real/relevant sources.

But if Bosh is all about getting the larger deal, they can basically tell him to f*** off. They knew he was going anyway.

Amare to the Knicks is done, should be announced within the next hour according to David Aldridge.

 

Everyone knew it.. but I find it very odd he didn't at least "listen" (or go to) the interviews with the Bulls and Nets scheduled Tuesday.

Prediction: Wade never had any intention of leaving the Heat, same with Lebron, though Lebron actually considered it mildly

 

Could be really devastating for Bulls fans if we end up with Boozer and David Lee, ouch

Why would we ever sign both Boozer and Lee? We're going to play 3 power forwards at the same time?

But if they're just gonna be offered Luol Deng, Toronto may as well save their cap space, considering they already have another SF in Hedo who makes a lot of money.

 

Gibson could fit as a backup 4, but they just signed Amir Johnson to a big deal also.

 

They need help at the SG and C spots more so than the SF/PF spots.

Whether it helps the Bulls or not, they should tell Bosh to go scratch. They help him get an extra $30 million and they get back a draft pick and the #2 pick in the draft who really isn't knocking the league dead by any means. I'd rather get nothing, and move on.

Only way I'd do it is if we could pull off some major deal to land Carmelo using Noah or Gibson or a combo of those guys plus Deng and draft picks (Or Brandon Roy).

Which isn't happening, especially with multiple reports saying Denver has no interest in trading Carmelo at this time.

AJ (the man behind that tweet) has done nothing to represent himself as someone within the inner circle and knowing what's going on... it's all entertainment from SLTC.

What about this tweet? http://twitter.com/LeBrontoChicago/status/17614261985

 

And I know your stance and involvement in this. But it's becoming quite a bit of a farce.

Stop hating. AJ posted a very vague tweet based off a rumor that was all over the place. If you have a problem with it, don't follow, but don't lump SLTC in with what Jason Goff has been doing.

I guess I just hate the use of the phrase "I'm hearing."

jgoff670 Wade is holding the Bulls over MIA's head so S&T with Bosh can be pulled off. Beasley and Chalmers not playing in summer league games BTW.
