The trade I heard was Bosh straight up for Howard. Orlando has no leverage, he is leaving one way or another. Howard is still the best big man in the league (though Bynum is close), but his shenanigans are hurting his team's play and that has to count for something

I heard it would be both. I wouldn't give up Bosh, & definitely not both of them for Dwight. If I'm Miami I would trade Wade to a team for 3 solid players. Then go hard in the offseason to sign Roy Hibbert. Wade & LeBron don't mesh well, they're games are too similar.

Deal Wade to a team like NO. With the #1 pick they might be interested in giving up a few pieces to build around a superstar D-Wade & top pick Anthony Davis.

LeBron James

Chris Bosh

Roy Hibbert

Udonis Haslem

Trevor Ariza*

Shane Battier

veteran FA guard

'12 draft PG

*from Wade trade to NO

That would be a bad trade for New Orleans. No way I'm giving up Gordon for an aging, breaking down Wade.

But anyways, Durant and Westbrook were playing great ball, especially in the 2nd half. Durant had an amazing 4th qtr but it wouldn't have been possible w/o Russ. Lebron had a good game, could've had a lil better 4th qtr, but this loss isn't on him. Wade has got to step up. 19 pts by a top 10 player isn't gonna cut it. Lebron is gonna feel like he's back in Cleveland if his supporting cast doesn't step up.

LeBron had a nice statistical night last night with 30 points. But, he just disappears in the 4th when his team needs him the most. I don't know why he dominates for 3 quarters and then defers in the 4th.

He is too damn good for that to happen.

He just does not have that finishing killer instict that the greats had.

LeBron is the most gifted athlete physically the NBA has ever seen. He is unstoppable with his combination of size and speed, as we know. LeBron just lacks a killer instinct. I feel as though all the doubt in the past has almost killed his confidence to do anything. If LeBron had half the killer instinct of MJ, LBJ would be the greatest player to ever play the game

Hey KG, you know 11-24 is a great shooting night for Kobe.

In fact, 11-24 is a higher percentage than Kobe's 2012 regular season, 2012 postseason, and CAREER regular and postseason shooting percentage.

Kobe only topped that percentage 3 times in 12 playoff games this year.

And here's where the Kobe fluffers will say "But But But, clutch, mamba, NBA Finals..."

Facts get in the way as always, in 39 finals games, Kobe has only shot better in 12 of them. In his last 20 without Shaq, it's only been 5.

Lolz, a Kobe comparison is valid once King has 5 rings. Let's focus on last nights typical 4th quarter 33% shooting shall we.

Or we can make the NBA Finals thread a Kobe thread if you like.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
