Warriors Trying for Bosh, Too

I agree. This is from the “duh” files. The Warriors put in their bid for Chris Bosh, according to a team source. Haven’t confirmed if it was just talks, or an offer was made. But unlike Phoenix, who is trying to dump salary, Toronto is looking for some ballers in return, but only if they are convinced they will lose Bosh, who can opt out after next season.

The Raptors, according to an insider, aren’t likely to move Bosh until this offseason. Though they are last in the Atlanta Division, the Raptors are one move away from competing for the eighth spot in the East. They are only 5 1/5 games behind N.J.

They’d prefer to find someone to put next to Bosh (I’ve heard they want Biedrins next to Bosh), but could end up moving him. Again, all this is just what I’m told.

Obviously, nabbing Bosh would require the Warriors to move a big name — Biedrins or Ellis — and some young talent to help Toronto rebuild. So this just shows that they are willing. The fact that they are throwing their name in the hat for these big players, even if futile, is a change in pace. These two were untouchable. Now, the Warriors are willing to play all their cards, even though they haven’t seen everyone healthy for a significant length of time yet.

Is this good that the Warriors are willing to make such big moves? Or should the Warriors stay the course with this squad?

What yall think about the amare/bosh trade talks for biedrins or ellis?

I wouldn't give up biedrins or ellis for either of those two

we should just stay with this team for the rest of the year and go after lamar odom or carlos boozer in the offseason

I never thought I'd say this. But yes. Do it.

Bosh can do EVERYTHING on the court. He is a true franchise player.

Amare would walk in and instantly become the most explosive PF to ever put on a Warrior jersey.

If Baron wasn't untouchable, then no one is.


EDIT: If FOYLE wasn't untouchable, then no one is.

only untouchable i would have is Randolph, put him next to bosh or amare and watch out for years to come. id be ok to try ellis or biedrnis but not both. bellinelli can go to, we got a bigger, better, more athetlic bellinelli in morrow.

why peete? cause duncan can hit a 12 foot bank shot? robinson was a gritty inside player, and having 2 power forwards/centers in the line up would crazy. just like san antonio did. with turiaf splitting the difference and giving breathers to either of the 2...... i want ellis around, but i wouldnt give up the big man.... ellis is the smarter choice at this moment. in my opinion.

David Robinson WAS NOT a gritty inside player, lol He was a face up, finesse player (like Bosh is now but Robinson played closer to the basket). So maybe you're right after all :eyecross:

None of those 3 can defend the 4 and 5 position like Timmy though. It doesn't make sense to me to make a move that's not improving your defense, considering that's the Warriors main problem. How many tall wire thin dudes can you have on your front line?
