Chris Bosh moving mid season??

Rockets has nothing big to offer.

Toronto doesnt need Brooks and they dont need an undersized PF like Landry. They should go for a strong SG or a Center so they can move Bargnani finally to PF...

Yeah, the Rockets have nothing big to offer. Brooks, Landry, Scola, Lowry, Battier, Ariza, etc., aren't big pieces.

A Scola + Battier or Ariza + Cook + Houston 1st trade for Bosh could work. Don't know where Toronto will find a better deal. Houston could throw in Lowry, too, and maybe Houston gets back Calderon or Jack in return for him. Doubt Toronto will find a better deal elsewhere. They can watch Bosh come back to America this summer instead and come out empty handed.

He better not go to Houston.

You'd be surprised. So many NBA players are in Houston during the offseason.

You dont get it. Houston has nothing Raps really need in their roster. They dont need Brooks (and he is anyway overrated) and they dont need Landry. They need a SG or a center. Yeah Landry is good and young, but thats nothing "wow we have to do it". They can get such stuff in a S&T next summer too and can retain still the hope right now that Bosh maybe stays.

You dont trade Bosh right now for SUCH things.

The other deal I've seen (new article on ESPN Insider today) is a Hinrich + Tyrus Thomas + pick for Bosh. I think the Houston deal is better, especially if they include Landry instead of Scola.

I don't get it?

Why would a team sign and trade for Bosh this summer when they could just sign Bosh instead, without giving up anything? The Raptors should take anything (reasonable) that comes to them, because they will end of with nothing this summer.

You give them Scola, and he can still help them out this year. Plus, Scola adds to that "International Team" that they are building in Toronto. Then, Battier or Ariza. Battier would be that defensive specialist that Toronto needs. Ariza the same way, just younger. Then, Cook will be the expiring contract crap throw in, that will help Toronto financially. Lastly, that first round pick for more talent. I would throw in Lowry to the Scola/Battier/Cook/Pick deal, too (if needed).

Also, even with Toronto winning a little more now, I think Bosh would still want to leave. That Toronto team is stuck in mediocrity. They don't really have a strong young core, plus they have to go against the Celtics, Magic, and Cavs.

All just speculation, but it is interesting.
