I get this side too. I get where Charlotte's coming from. Some teams are viewed as "too young" and don't have veterans surrounding them pushing them along. It's easy to turn winners into losers. If you bunch up young talent and all they do is lose, they're gonna think this is how it'll always be. A guy like Bosh has a title and knows what it takes to win one. That kind of impact isn't slept on with young players.

The only way to fix it is to establish structure, land that transcendent player that simply won't tolerate that shyt, or get an impact vet to speed the process up. Sometimes that one trip to the playoffs makes all the difference. Ask Golden State.

So would the money work out for Charlotte, worse case scenario, like it did for Philly and Bynum?

what player is remotely available that would lead the Bobcats somewhere then?


Ain't enough superstars in this league to go around.

Theyve sucked for years might as well suck for one more and hope to get a top 3 pick in the 2014 draft then go all in to at best be an 8th seed and get 4 or 5 extra games a year

Miami trades Bosh for 4th overall and amnesties Wade. Signs Howard and Chris Paul to the same $$ they were paying Wade and Bosh. Then what? :mjpls:

Have no idea. Not like there's anything pending on this front. This is more or less an idea.

Yea, I mean, this da only way I see this scenario makin' sense, is if the reward outweighs the risk, 'cause if this is 2010 Bosh, this thread wouldn't exist. I'd like to believe there's capable veterans out there that can be had for less money, that'd help this team.

odds aren't on their side.

If you rely on that and it doesn't work out for you, you're gonna fall into a situation that not even rookies will wanna be a part of. They could seriously tank for Wiggins and fukk around and wind up with the more selfish Harrison twin or worse. When more than half the league wants to jump on this Wiggins sweepstakes, 13 teams are gonna be disappointed.

and when you lose so much, in some ways you come to the conclusion that you'll never be Miami or San Antonio or the Lakers, etc. so if the decision is being a treadmill squad or being a perennial loser, sometimes you just don't wanna feel like a perennial loser anymore. Denver operates that way. Milwaukee operates that way. Houston operates that way (and gets sucked off for that mentality). Some teams will take the comfort of the possibility of those 2 home playoff games rather than being an NBA leper. Rebuilding is cool and necessary, but it's not something you wanna spend years upon years doing.

Even beyond Wiggins i think theyres a good amount of guys in this draft who will have as good or better careers then Bosh and be a decade younger

I dont think Bosh really has all that much left, if your gonna go that route then might as well overpay one of these fa's who isnt that far from Bosh right now [Millsap, jefferson] rather then give something up

Yet folks wanna ridicule me for saying my Hawks should operate that way.....

If Charlotte throws in a second rounder, can they get Wade too?


Maybe they'll offer half their team and some cheer leaders for LeBron too. :laff:


actually been thinking bout this and the heat do need an improvement in the center position. bosh is alright but not dominant enough. what i would do is trade bosh and chalmers, yes chalmers. for a pg and pf/c combo. someone who rebounds well and a decent pg. don't know much bout contracts or salary space but how bout bosh and chalmers for rubio and love? or is there a better combo out there? love gets rebounds and can shoot from deep. rubio up and coming and has potential. only other combo i can think of is zbo and Tony Allen but i doubt Memphis giving up their franchise player. every other pg too elite for just a chalmers offer, ex. rondo, rose, paul, etc. gotta go for young pg and powerful big man. bosh and Chalmers for horford and teague?
