I would like to see him go back to Cavs and finish what he started. More so for the fans.

It will be a great example for Lillard after he leaves us for the Lakers. Come back, all will be forgiven!

(yes MM, that was a trolling post.)

 

[julius]

Oooh, Portland should see if they can snag them some Jarrett Jack!

Would be cool to see him win for Cleveland but the way their roster is set up, I doubt LeBron really wants to go there. They have lane clogging big men and no true shooters. Have great athleticism though with Wiggins, Irivng and Waiters.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'd be on board with this (even if his contract is a bit bloated.)

We haven't enlarged our court. He's still dribble out of bounds 4 times a game.

Heat could be in Trouble. And I would hate to see the Rockets with Bosh and Howard in the front court.

To get him, wouldn't the Rockets have to lose Lin and Chandler?

So that would make it so they're basically 3 good players, one who can't create for himself (Howard), one who doesn't play a lick of defense (Harden) and the other who hasn't show he can really survive while being in the game with 2 players one of which isn't LeBron.

Let them be foolish enough to think Bosh will put them over the top.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Didn't all those rumors about Gilbert turn out to be false?

Twin towers along with two sharp shooting wings and a pesky defending pg.

Bosh isn't anything special. No more than a Luis Scola type guy now.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

...and then there's this:

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt · 1m

As @sam_amick reported, LeBron James & agent Rich Paul will meet w/ Pat Riley. Details being worked on, but should happen in next 2-3 days.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Chris Bosh = Ho Grant

Portland could have something similar upfront with Hibbert but I think it could be more cohesive.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Bosh isn't anything special. No more than a Luis Scola type guy now.

I don't believe this. I think he's closer to LA than you might think.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Chris Bosh is very underrated. He gave up an awful lot for the Heat. He's a great defender and totally unselfish. He got tired of scoring 20+ ppg for a crappy team, but that doesn't mean he forgot how. He's been playing a LOT of C for the Heat - wouldn't have to do it for the Rockets. He'd be MUCH better for them than Carmelo.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I don't believe this. I think he's closer to LA than you might think.

I couldn't imagine LA putting up 16/6 with LeBron as a teammate.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

There's still something rotten in the core of that team. Harden turns to shit in the playoffs but they still have to keep giving him shots because he's good for nothing else.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I couldn't imagine LA putting up 16/6 with LeBron as a teammate.

While chasing the best frontcourt player on the other team around night in and night out?

 

[Hobbesarable]

It's called Coach McHale.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

In the Eastern conference? Yes.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I couldn't imagine LA putting up 16/6 with LeBron as a teammate.

All I'm saying is, you are comparing him to Luis Scola. I think he is ever bit as good as LA. Just playing on a team where its not expected if of him.

 

[RR7]

I couldn't imagine LA putting up 16/6 with LeBron as a teammate.

his ORBs were down because of his role in the offense. His DRB% this season would be the 3rd highest of Aldridge's career, and his TRB% this season is right around LA's career average. Yes he only scored 16 ppg. On 12 shots. LA had 23 on 20. It's about role on the team. Way, WAY closer to Aldridge than Scola. That's just ridiculous.

 

[PCmor7]

Bosh is tremendous. I would take LA ahead of him, but Scola shouldn't even be in that conversation.

Its assumed if the Cavs get LeBron they're trading away Wiggins for KLove or a similar all-star. Love's even said he would resign in Cleveland if LeBron was there.

Wow! That would be a power play by the Cavs.

Rockets would still have Parsons and Beverly. Parsons cap hold is small until they match his contract. Rockets would trade everyone else on the roster except Dwight and Harden. That's a damn good starting 5 though.

Yes I agree. They might be the favorites in the west.

Could you imagine LA playing 82 games at center alongside small forwards?
