Can "we" get Bosh now?

[Vinny]

I really don't see this deal happening, but in the few Raptors games I've watched, they definitely are desperate for a wing player.

It all depends on what Toronto is looking to do - are they looking to dump salary and rebuild? Are they looking for other pieces? Because Detroit could offer them AI + Max + 1st rounder for Bosh and Kapono. But I have no idea what Toronto would be looking to do. I'm sure they could get better offers, but they couldn't clear salary better than that trade.

That depends on whether they think they can instantly replace him with Boozer.

We would have to give them a better financial incentive to dump Bosh now.

I would offer AI in any deal, since it would solve our SG glut and also help the other team sellout the arena. That is an incentive they certainly would want.

Bosh, Jermaine O Neal, and Humphries, for AI, Rasheed, and Amir/Kwame. Hell they might even resign AI to fill the seats.

They would actually still save about 10 mill next season by renouncing their FA's and signing Boozer to a max deal since they would be off the hook with ONeal. They also would be relieved of paying Humphries during the free agency bonanza.

I think they would be pretty decent with Calderon, AI, Kapono, Bargnani, and Sheed and we would be greatly improved with Bosh, Dice, Oneal, and Maxiell as our bigs. Both teams would still be max free agent players in 2010.

Heck that same trade could even be done with Phoenix sending Amare to Toronto, and getting Rasheed and Fabio.

I'd do that deal for sure.

Would the Raptors make this move? I have my doubts. They'd have a ton of cap space after this year to play with though and if they don't think they're keeping Bosh, getting all that space could be a very tempting deal.
