Chris Bosh revealed today the 5 teams he'd be willing to play for. The teams were: the Raptors, Bulls, Lakers, Heat, and the Knicks. This was reported on ESPN and a source also stated that if Lebron left Cleveland, that Bosh would probably try to follow him. If he returned to Cleveland, then Bosh would probably look elsewhere.

Lakers baby, sign and trade. I like Bynum but he can't stay healthy, how long will it take before Bynum reaches his full potential? 3-4 years? I don't know if the Lakers window will still be open by then

He would be a good fit ,but Bosh will require a max contract. I don't think the Lakers have enough $$$.

That would be the same thing. Free money. Did I really have to explain it to you?

The Rockets were interested in him, I wonder why they aren't being considered?

Raptors: can pay him the most, but nothing else to offer, he likely won't stay there
Bulls: semi-big market, possible contender with him being added with Rose and Noah, cap room
Lakers: big market, contender, Kobe, etc (would need a sign and trade, but that's a long shot)
Heat: possible contender with Wade, cap room, weather
Knicks: possible destination for Wade/LeBron, cap room, big market

What does Houston have to offer? Do they have much cap room? Not really a big market, and no potential to play with Wade, LeBron, or Kobe. And I don't know that they'd be an instant contender with him being the only addition.

Bosh going to Houston would be a lateral move unless Houston could attract another player,doesn't have to be a superstar, but another solid potential star player that would compliment Bosh. There's really one two players worth the max deals this summer Lebron and Wade, others of note are staying put b/c Kobe already resigned, and Dirk will stay in Dallas. Every other "top player" out there in free agency besides these four won't be worth the money IMO. Bosh and Joe Johnson? Really, those guys will be overpaid and not produce and have the leadership expected of them.

I agree that LeBron and Dwade are really the only legit top dogs.

I don't put Bosh on the same level but Dirk,and Amare are also game changers.
