If I were BC, I would try to do a 3-way trade with New Orleans, to wind up with Paul & Okafor. I'm not sure who exactly would go where, but between the assets Toronto would get from Houston and assets they already have to offer (players/picks/expiring contracts), I think a pretty decent package could be put together (in addition to taking Okafor's contract) to get Paul, who is rumored to have requested a trade.
Talk about 'young guns', how good would a core of Paul, Bargnani, Johnson, Ariza, DeRozan, Davis, Weems and Alabi look???

At least Leafs are gonna be progressing haha.
I still don't know which one of the top tier FAs are gonna sign with NY.. The Knicks are going to end up signing some random people

Anyway, I admit it is a bit wishful of me...but other than a Noah return from Chi. Houston would be best for the Raps and I dont believe its a stretch that it's a good place for Bosh on many levels. Circumstances might yet conspire that Houston be the only place he could get the S&T max. Ironic because they dont have cap space ! Would you be surprised if Miami & Chi. are not offering Bosh a 6 yr. absolute max (thru s&t)?

Pass the TPE to New Orleans for Collison(young PG, not Paul, I like Paul but he would not like a rebuilding situation) and Posey or Okafor(depends on if we sell Turkoglu, even if he returns, Posey is the better option, could start and be a perimeter defender and space the floors with his 3s or could come of the bench for Turkoglu with the same defensive mentality). Trade expiring contracts(reggie evans, marcus banks, belinelli) to team under cap for TPE and pass to Kings since they have their starting center in Demarcus Cousins(and a viable back-up in Hassan Whiteside) for Sam Dalembert and we are set.

I think there is some gumming up of the Miami troika thing happening...or it would have been done about now...whats the holdup if it was such a slam dunk (at least Wade & Bosh). Amare has come into play and the rumour about questioning Bosh in Miami. Do you really think (without any f/as) that Chicago is a better team than Houston going forward? LA in my view was always a long shot. Now that they won its even longer. I cannot figure how Bosh would make that team better by deleting Bynum (even at 70%).

I think Noah would be everyone's wet dream, but unless LeBron signs with Chicago, and Chicago is desperate to add Bosh, I don't see them agreeing to part with him. I think if Chicago DOES sign LeBron and want to do a sign and trade for Bosh, I think Colangelo should demand Noah if for no other reason than to weaken Chicago a little.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!
