What if?

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?"
