I think Bosh is one of the more underrated players in the league now. Being the 3rd Wheel of the SuperFriends took away a lot of his looks, and turned him into a glorified role player. I wouldn't trade LMA straight up for him b/c he's a year older and not likely to re-sign in POR, but he's better than LMA at what LMA does best (shooting long jumpers). His career rebounding %s are higher than LMA's best year (last year). They're similar on defense. He has a quirkiness to his mindset that I think would fit in here.
I think the Blazers need to find an All Star-caliber PF who's going to be here for a while to pair with Lillard. If that's LMA, good. If not, there are others who are comparably expensive/hard to get/good. Asik/Parsons are not that player.
That forum is great fun. They think Asik can get them a legit top 15-25 player in the league and almost seem to think we would have to throw something in if we traded LA for Asik to make it fair.
