That'd be a stupid trade for Miami.

It's a stupid trade for both teams. I want Lowry back. I know were in need of a big man but Bosh at the answer. He wasn't back then and still isn't now

@redsox I plan on going into this further on the podcast tomorrow but clevelands love affair with LBJ will be their undoing

I've read a couple articles about Miami doing a sign and trade for Lowry... Which send a Bosh back to Toronto. Well guess what we don't F***ING want him hahahaha

Toronto would be stupid to do that trade. Not only Miami just got Napier, they have Norris Cole still. Toronto needs Lowry because not only did he almost made the final shot in Game 7 if it wasn't for the Truth, but he's the third best point guard in the Eastern Conference. Also Bosh isn't the Bosh that was drafted. All he does now is do strange things with champagne and shoot 3s instead of doing what he does best.

It probably will because god hates cleveland. I think LeBron goes to the Clippers to play with paul and Doc Rivers.

Bosh would be a good fit in Houston as a stretch four. I see him and Dwight playing well together.

Apparently Ric Bucher (who started the rumor) got it completetly wrong haha and there is no proposed deal with Lowry and/or Bosh. He says his source "set him up".

Yeah, now he's just an above average shooting power forward. I wouldn't put him in my top 10 power forwards right now to be quite honest based on his play in Miami. He's still a good player, and will probably get 17 million a year on the open market, but he's not nearly as good as he was in Toronto.

Just saying, it's going to be very difficult to sell Lebron on returning to Miami. They clearly need to upgrade his supporting cast if he does stay, but they don't have the cap space to do that unless wade opts out, which would deny him 41.5 million dollars over the next two years, more money than he could get under any new contract based on his injury concerns. Meaning Wade will likely opt in and then if Lebron comes back, assuming he doesn't take another pay cut which he most likely won't, they would have 45 million dollars of a 63 million dollar salary cap invested in just them. Then if bosh decides to opt in, he puts you well over the cap, adding another 20 million or so onto that total, or if he opts out and returns, which he'd still command 17 million dollars a year or so on the open market, so his return still leaves you at the cap level just with those three players. Then, Norris cole is under contract for a couple more million, and you are over the cap, meaning you could only use bird rights to sign back your current players, and a mid level exemption to sign one free agent, but all of these contracts, plus more minimum level deals to fill out the roster would place the team under high financial stress and may out them over the luxury tax level, and since they have already paid the tax more than once in the last 5 years, they would have to pay an even larger "repeaters tax", which is something the organization is trying to avoid. This would leave them in a cap strapped situation, and they would be able to add anybody they need to improve the team, which, unfortunately for the heat, means they'd be stuck with the same roster, one year older and more worn out, and next to no improvement from the roster that the spurs obliterated in the finals. So in all actuality it's borderline senseless for Lebron to return to Miami if he expects to win a title, because the team in place doesn't have the firepower to do it, and his return would mean they would lack the money to bring in more quality players. Miami is between a rock and a hard place, a future where losing Lebron means a rebuilding process for the next few years, and him returning means no financial stability and still likely not putting the team in place to win titles. That's the reality of the situation for the heat and for Lebron, who at this point in his career is just gunning for titles to cement his legacy, so if that is the case, it makes more sense for Lebron James to leave Miami and win titles elsewhere (Chicago, Houston, LA clippers, etc.) although, if wade and bosh and Lebron were to take pay cuts like they have in the past even though they have expressed their desire not to do that, then the team may be able to bring in more talent and win titles, however that seems to be very unlikely based on what I've heard in the news and what is being reported, so while I have no idea what Lebron will do, the logical choice, if he wants to take a max contract, would be to leave Miami. However, there may be more to it than logic, like the desire to move back home to Cleveland, or not wanting to uproot his family and from their comfortable living arrangements in Miami. So that's my take on it. Where will he go? Not a clue, but Miami has quite a tough sell.

I'd say he was a big winner last night lol

That was an excellent answer there man. Something I'll definitely be considering when we talk about it tomorrow. So I thank you for that

Biggest Losers:
Ben McLemore due to that pick. And Zach Levine who says **** me when getting drafted by Minnesota.

No problem just trying to offer some insight on what exactly LeBron is walking into by staying in as unbiased a way as possible.

Mclemore could be headed to Boston in the Rondo trade. Sacramento is going hard to trade for rondo and Josh Smith. Think about that lineup.

PG: Rondo
SG: Stauskas
SF: Rudy Gay
PF: Josh Smith
C: Cousins

That's a very solid starting five and they could easily compete for a playoff spot (not a high one but still) and Smith and Rondo are buddies from high school.

Boston:
PG: Smart
SG: McLemore
SF: Young
PF: Sully
C: Some white guy that can't jump.

Not as good but they're young and there's promise there

Also, I feel for Levine, who wants to leave the sunny beaches of LA just to go to minnesota. Hey, him and Kevin Love (also a UCLA alum) will have something to talk about until Love leaves! lol

Absolutely man. And hey you brought facts so who can argue that. It's something I hadn't looked far enough into yet.

I really don't know how I feel about sac pushing for josh smith you already have a volume guy in Gay do you need smith hoisting up all sorts of crap too? Rondo would be the guy to facilitate such an offense though.

I'm gonna be suprised to see Kevin Love pull on a twolves jersey next season he's entertaining CLE long term IF they can bring Lebron home
