Now Wade will get a huge legacy deal to play 50 games a season.

Bosh got the same thing.

Am I taking crazy pills? Why would two smart organizations offer Chris Bosh a max deal at this point? He only puts up numbers if he has the ball in his hands at all times, which isn't exactly a recipe for winning basketball games.

Interestingly Houston is said to be the organization at the forefront of using ...how you say... data analysis. Or was anyway.

Maybe they know something we don't.

But not the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics or the Knicks. Big markets like Cleveland or Oklahoma City are better.

Who doesn't want to play in those markets? You know the last big time FA the Blazers were connected to? Me neither. We were excited about Spencer Hawes.

Cleveland is a special circumstance. OKC got to at least talk to an old and frustrated Pau, but they are 100% draft. Which they have to be.

If you all want to compare me to Joe Morgan, that's fine: But I'm right.

Bosh isn't a banger anymore, but he would've been a good compliment to Howard because Houston would really have great spacing.

Now I hope Melo stays in NY or goes to CHI and the Love to CLE trade happens. The more players leaving the West, the better.

He would have been a decent fit for their team, but not for anywhere near the salary they were supposedly offering.

And Portland booted them from the playoffs with a bunch of analyst-hated midrange jumpers. It was poetic.

I know Simmons has a hard-on for him, but I'm not sure Morely with his advanced stat conferences is all that great. The Lin deal wasn't smart. Expecting a ransom for Asik and not getting help at the deadline with that chip was stupid--they ended up trading him for a pick they had to include to clear Lin. Keeping Kevin McHale was really stupid.
