Im just sayin, Bsoh with the Cavs isn't gonna make them a great team. Or at least better then they have been.

 

[Anytime23]

Youre fn nuts if you think LeBron being the man will affect Bosh's #s. LeBron is one of the best passers in the game. He shoots more than Rose and averages more assists. The opportunity Bosh will get is ridic. Who would stop them on pick and rolls? LeBron is drooling to have a guy like Bosh play with him.

 

[BigP50]

how much better can it make them? I mean they were amazing (regular season) last year.

 

[Anytime23]

They had enough to win regular season games but they had no one to step up during the playoffs. They have no players outside of LeBron capable of being that guy. Jamison used to be that guy but he isnt anymore. Mo never was that guy.

Bostons plan was simple, stop LeBron. Bostons next plan would be, oh shit how do we stop LeBron and keep Bosh from getting his?

I understand where Big P is coming from. Adding Bosh and sacrificing all of their heavy depth wouldn't necessarily make them a whole lot better. Hell, maybe even weaker in some ways.

But once they moved Jamison's contract for a C and a SG/PG, the Cavs would likely end up title contenders- maybe even favorites depending on who they get.

sacrificing depth

west and vari and another guy really isnt alot

you get bosh in

and maybe get a starting center

and then you have a starting center,with bosh,james,parker,and mo

with jamison and hix and others on the bench notably

 

[Anytime23]

Depth is important but i think people are underestimating Boshs ability to win games himself. Look at what LeBron did in 07. You arent completely gutting that team like MIA has.

I dont know how the teams cap would look after that trade but it would be much easier to predict the success of that team with a laid out roster. They would still have West or Mo. Both good guards. Powe when healthy is an impact on the court. He's dirt cheap. They just need to find a C

Hickson would be gone.
West
Varejao too, like you said
Shaq is likely gone
Ilgauskas is likely gone
(I dont think Moon would be gone)

And when you consider that CLE's entire payroll would essentially be James-Bosh-Jamison... that means they are in trouble.

C Powe
F Bosh, Jamison
F James, Moon
G Gibson...?
G Williams

And that^ WELL over the cap

Powe is way too small to play center. They could probably get Z back for the min.

He sure has done it a lot in today's NBA man...lol. Yeah they better. But Z would be stupid to do that considering he can get paid a shit load more to do less work somewhere else.

 

[Anytime23]

i feel bad if anyone ever asked Powe to play C. After his injuries the past couple years, he would be out of the lineup quick.

I think Z would because he just has that loyalty to CLE. He probably could have went elsewhere after the WIZ released him after the trade for Jamison. IDK
