If that is true, it implies that the Raptors are looking to shop him. No idea what to believe, maybe BC asked for Carmelo and got hung up on.

Well Bosh's name has been popping up in a lot of places. Colangelo and the Raptors don't exactly seem to be saying "Bosh is untouchable". "Shopping" doesn't necessarily mean looking to deal. It could mean determining fair market price to help determine if they should deal. Based on all the rumored offers, Colangelo must be starting to get an idea of what the market thinks Bosh is worth. If the Bynum rumor has any legs to it and the Lakers and Raptors are just putting out a smoke screen then I'm thinking Bosh will allow the Raptors to land a marquee player for their young core at the least.

Denver has nothing to give up for Chris Bosh outside of Carmelo ... it was definitely Melo that BC asked for and rightly so.
Like so many other teams in the NBA, Denver had no strong level of interest in the player they were calling about. Just cursory interest, to see if they could get a steal. Get a good player without having to lose a good player. The difference between real interest and not.

Do you think Bargnani, who apparently thrives in guarding back-to-the-basket centres would fare well against smaller PFs?
Consider this both guys are 24 and 22 right now, both signed to extensions the Raps would never be undersized in the front court. Having said that their age being a strengh it's also a weakness because if ther 'Upside" doesn't pan out the Raps will be paying 22-23 mill for both."Hello, Hello !.....You Play to Win the GAME!!"

I dunno if it is a real trade, but I think I would pull it. Good for Bosh, good for us (I think, I am unconvinced Bargnani can guard the 4). Bynum would be under long term contract and we could avoid all these interminable rumours that surround Bosh. Plus, if I were Bosh, I would jump at the chance, even if it meant more limited minutes.

Off the bench, Odom, Calderon (who would work amazing with Gasol AND Bosh). If I am the Lakers I think I would try to make this happen this season...(probably it won't happen...but man it would be awesome)

I think Bosh would own Bargnani. Mind you, Bosh has moved his game inside this year, which suits Bargnani. But I mean, Bosh gives fits to even the best defenders in the league on most nights. Bosh commands a double every possession of the 4th. I gotta disagree Bendit.
Mind you, I don't think Bosh would able to guard Bargs particularly well either though...

It's definitely smokescreen and poker time.
ps...imv I would lean to a package including Nene & JR which might have been the exchange req.
