Article: San Antonio is the Best Place for Chris Bosh

Didn't see it posted elsewhere.

With Parker's recent comments, I think I'd do this.

I'd do it.

c - duncan
pf - Bosh
sf - RJ
sg- manu
pg - hill

bench:
splitter
anderson
bellineli
evans
temple
hairston

Why would Dime Magazine pimp the Spurs up? Anyway, it is all but certain Bosh would go to Miami to join Wade.

[MoSpur]

I'm fine with giving up Parker and Dice, but not Blair.

[Muser]

For the 1234565432454345432345432 time Hill is not a starting PG.

True, but if this deal is on the table, the Spurs absolutely have to do it and think of the PG position later.

That said, it's highly unlikely, of course.

Bosh any day !!!!! Bring it !!!!

understand that, but with Bosh, TD, and Splitter, all the pg has to do is bring the ball up and throw it down low ala Avery Johnson. Ball will either go up as a shot or come back out to the perimter for an open look. I know this an oversimplification, but when you have such strong low post presence a serviceable pg will do, IMO. It's not likely to happen anyway, but it's a pipedream fun to talk about.

without giving any credence to this being a remote possibility:

agreed that Hill is NOT a PG. However, if it gets you a guy like Bosh - you make a Hill/Ginobili tag-team work at that spot.

if you're sporting the best frontcourt in the league, the demands of playing the PG position are significantly lessened.

No way Toronto does that trade.

A trade centered around Tony for Bosh has been discussed ad nauseum around here since last summer.

Toronto has two ridiculously overpaid PGs on long-term contracts. Parker on the Raptors gives them 3 PGs on the roster for 27M next season. It makes no sense. It makes even less sense because there's no way Tony signs a long term deal to stay on that dysfunctional mess of a team up there in Toronto.

So all Toronto gets out of that deal is a one year rental on Tony, the last year of Dice's career (if he doesn't retire rather than report), and Blair. Now I love Blair, but that's a pretty meager return for Bosh, Evans, and Belinelli.

No need to look at reasons the Spurs might be hesitant about this deal, there isn't nearly enough in it for the Raptors to cooperate in a S&T.

Mel_13, you're right that there's little in this package for Toronto, but after Hedo's contract and yesterday's Raptors reached agreement to sign centre Amir Johnson to a five year, $34 million, I wouldn't bet my house against the possibility of Colangelo having a blonde moment yet again.

True enough. One shouldn't underestimate the possibility that BC makes an incredibly stupid move that further cripples his franchise.

[Biggems]

U dont give up an all-star/championship PG. We would rue the day that we traded away Parker to get Bosh for a long time.

Instead of worrying about trades and such.....let's use our money to sign Splitter, keep Jefferson and then add some UDFAs to the mix....maybe Mikhail Torrance, Marqus Blakely, Mac Koshwal, Tyler Smith, etc.

I like what we have with Duncan, McDyess, Blair, Manu, Parker, Hill, Temple, and Hairston.

Are you going to get paid a commission if those two guys get NBA contract?

[Tito_Trinidad]

If we get Splitter, there is not necessity for Bosh. The next step after getting Splitter is a long young wing, like Rudy Gay, Granger, Iguodala, or even Brewer.

[Darkwaters]

My thoughts exactly!

[bdictjames]

No way. Bosh is pretty much in love with Miami.

[guzmangm]

Actually the first time I agreed with a possible Parker trade. Remember Jefferson plays better with Manu at point; who is a better distributor (if they do in fact resign RJ). If this happens it in effect negates or lessens the need for the slashing attack of the point guards. Blair has upside but we hardly used him, so you can't really miss what you never used and he is still short...

[Cheddz]

Sure I'd miss Blair, but getting Bosh would probably make me not notice so much.

Anyway...this is a pipe dream.

[dbestpro]

Hill is a PG now and in the future. Why? Because Pop says so.

[rayray2k8]

Bosh aint coming guys. Don't let this pipe dream thread continue to drag on any longer.

[OrEmuN]

True enough. One shouldn't underestimate the possibility that BC makes an incredibly stupid move that further cripples his franchise.

If BC is that incredibly stupid, i hope he is stupid enough to do a S&T involving Bosh for RJ + spare parts ? Can someone link him up with some RJ youtube highlights ?

What are Parker's recent comments? Man I need to check ST more.

I disagree, if you get Splitter and Bosh, you have the next generation of twin towers and you build around them. And, you still give Tim a chance at another ring.
