Rockets with Bosh would be the best team in the west

[Rose'sACL]

Bosh would have fit so well on rockets. i know that may be he just likes miami but this rockets team with a guy like bosh who can play his natural game with a C like dwight would have been deadly.
As a basketball fan, i wanted bosh to go to houston.

Perhaps. But the reason he didnt go to Houston is because he didnt trust Harden and Dwight.

Never heard of that. I just thought he chose Miami over Houston because he loves the city and Riley gave him a monster contract.

His exact words were he didnt want the pressure. Basically meaning he didnt think he was gonna win a surefire ring with Harden/Howard. And why should he. Just came off a terrible Finals loss. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/18/chris-bosh-says-championship-pressure-part-of-reason-he-didnt-pick-houston/

Now in Miami he can lose and nobody cares. While still getting paid and living in a great city.

He already has two rings, more than he could imagine when he first started playing IMO. He has had several 20/10 seasons as well so I don't think he feels he need to prove something.

who would start at SF though? I know they have Brewer now but to start the season who would it have been? Papanikolou?

Ariza...

Harden has been wining all season so his reasons for not trusting him are not looking all that good. The real reason was 30 million extra. we could only offer him 90 million, they offerd him 118. Before the Miami offer he gave morey a verbal agreement hence the asik and lin trades..

Ariza...
I could be wrong, but I thought they used a portion of the money offered to Bosh to get Ariza. They could not have had both.

That said, thoughts like this, as the Cavs are proving, are difficult. On paper, it works. But would it work in real life? Who knows.

I'd rather an upgraded bench or PG as opposed to another power forward
We already have plenty and they're all young.

What's him not trusting Dwight or Harden got to do with this? Basically just admitted he doesn't care about winning anymore championships.

We don't want Bosh's max deal.

Wish he'd gone tbh. Not worth more than $15 mil.

are you kidding me? bosh and wade were the main reason miami won back2back championships, lebron was the 3rd option on those teams.

But, I thought LeBron killed his game? Or reduced it?

he did. bosh had so much success in toronto. i still remember those finals where he averaged 28/10 but lost because of refs.
