Detroit and Cleveland are the 2 teams, at the moment, with no real future to look forward too

maybe Sacramento if Cousins continues to act like an immature elementary kid and Tyreke continues to play uninspired ball
but even then, i'd rather be the Kings than Detroit or Cleveland

Amen to that man.
Literally the only team in the league with no young potential packed, promising player.
Monroe shows signs, but who knows cause he don't play lol.

Lakers better show up against the Spurs

The Raptors don't have shit either. Bargs I guess, but he's garbage.

I dont believe Reke is fully recovered from his injury.

IMO reke needs to slim down a bit. Looked a bit overweight last time I saw him which was months ago. But if they can land kyrie in Sac-town the future is bright.

I think a little better off, Bayless has been good for them, as well as Derozan and Weems.

How does Bosh suck?

He's so overrated. His level of skill can't hold a candle to Wade and LeBron, he doesn't even deserve to be part of the Big 3. The only reason his stats were high were because he was playing for TORONTO.

Obviously Bosh isn't as good as LeBron and Wade. They're two of the top 3 players in the NBA.

Bosh is averaging 18 and 8, both very close to his career averages. His points are taking a hit playing with two of the best scorers in the NBA but he's still just a bucket below his career average. He has a great shooting % too.

His D rebounds are right in line with his career numbers but his offensive boards are a rebound lower. The Miami Heat shoot up a lot less bricks than the Raptors did, resulting in a lot less offensive rebound opportunities.

Bosh is still a great player and is a top 20 player in the game.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Bosh has just been playing better lately. He's not a good rebounder for his position nor is he a good defender. There's plenty of PF's I'd take over him right now.

 

[Elite]

He's stepped it up defensively this season. He's not a great defender by any means, but he has been playing better defense.

What PFs would you rather have over Bosh? (I'm not asking like there's none I'd rather have because there is, I'm just curious)

+1 and Bargnani is far from garbage.

Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol, Carlos Boozer, Kevin Love, Kevin Garnett, David West, LaMarcus Aldridge, David Lee, Paul Millsap.

Bargs is a 7 foot center who can't rebound or play defense. He's a bust in my mind.

 

[Elite]

Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol, Carlos Boozer, Kevin Love, Kevin Garnett, David West, LaMarcus Aldridge, David Lee, Paul Millsap.

Dirk yes, STAT no (he plays center now anyway IIRC), Duncan yes, Pau yes, Boozer no, Love no, KG maybe those knees worry me, David west lolno, LMA no, David Lee no, Paul Millsap no.

That's 3 guys I'd rather have and 1 maybe.

 

[elcheato]

You'd take Bosh over Amare? :headsmack:

And Boozer is the same player as Chris Bosh but he has a post game..

 

[snipezo]

So in your logic a big man that is a good scorer but can't rebound or defend is a bust? Well you might as well call Bosh a bust then. You're acting like he's ass. He shouldn't be even playing center.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I was going by natural position, Stoudemire is a PF and is much better than Bosh. How could you not take Boozer? He's a better low-block player and rebounder, both have their struggles on defense though. Love is another case of someone playing well on a bad team so I have to see more from him, all the others are just a matter of opinion.

 

[Elite]

Yes, I'd take Bosh over Amar'e. Amar'e plays in an extremely uptempo offense and has his whole career which is why his PPG is so high. Not to mention he's the #1 option this season and was in Phoenix too. Bosh was the #1 option in Toronto too but he's now the #3 option and is still putting up a good PPG.

 

[RipCity32]

I think Bosh and Amar'e as interchangeable.
You put both in the others situation, and you would get similar results.

He was a #1 overall pick and he's not even that good of a scorer.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Bosh couldn't do what Amar'e is doing this season if he was in NY. There's no shot. Rip get on AIM.
