For some reason, I've already started thinking about players available next year. I know it's early. But, I think it's high time the media began thinking about the crop of free agents available this summer. They've been slacking.
"What if?" is the main question on nearly every fan's mind at the end of a season. It's the sports season version of "after the day I've had, I need a drink." It's both tonic and palliative. It ain't gonna cure ya, but you'll feel much better.
Here's mine today: Chris Bosh in Denver next year. I know, it's not an original pipe dream. I don't know if the Nuggets could afford Bosh given that they have Billups and Carmelo Anthony and a big payment (with Early Termination Option) to Kenyon Martin. The idea, however, of that offense is truly scary. Ty Lawson would come off the bench again. A less troubled guard than J.R. Smith could be found for cheaper. And, if George Karl battles back, wow. There'd be the question of who brings the nastiness, and without Kenyon Martin, that's valid, but who cares. It's more fun to ask "what if?"
Interesting idea. I still think style-wise, however, D-Wade or Lebron (of course) would be better.
ReplyDeleteMelo is a great scorer, but he does a lot of it on the low or high block. Also, he is a very very good offensive rebounder who scores points on missed shot. In some ways, you would be limiting both Bosh and Melo by having them play together.
I think guys like D-Wade and Lebron would be better because they are slashers who force the defense to collapse. Image the number of dunks Bosh would throw down running back-door on a collapsing defense.
Another team that could make sense would be Atlanta if Joe Johnson leaves. Imagine Bosh and Josh Smith. BEASTS. That Hawks team would be scary.
Finally, what about Chicago. I would LOVE to see Rose and Bosh together, with Noah doing the little things. Also, how much would that help Deng. Who would you double on that team?
