*sigh* I wish I didn't have to post this, but I do. Apparently the media and the NBA players haven't gotten the message yet about the whole Bosh to Miami thing, so they've cooked up another rumour. Instead of just Bosh going to Miami, this one also includes Lebron James as well. (You know, the childish nut from the Cleveland Cavaliers who admitted during this year's postseason run that his team had CHOSEN their first-round opponent to be Chicago and not Toronto?) Not only that, but the rumour incredibly goes on to tell us supposedly "idiotic" NBA and Raptors fans that Dwayne Wade will be in Miami as well next season to play alongside these two guys. I'm sorry but I just can't see this working out either. Why not? I have a few questions to ask the Miami Heat folks:
1) How in the world are you going to be able to afford having all of these players on your team? It's not as though they don't take much money. It's also not as though you guys are similar to Boston in your historicity, allure, and track record. How are you people in terms of the salary cap situation? Also too, if you are going to do this, are you going to have to give away your future talent in the process? That could prove to be an unwise move in the long run. Even if you don't give that away, who would you have to give to Toronto and Cleveland in return? It better benefit all 3 teams immensely or it's a cheap deal.
2) What about Lebron James and CB4? Are they going to fit in well with Dwayne Wade and the rest of the team? Will they be able to kill their egos and listen 100% to the coaching and training instructions? We all know what a child Lebron can be and also how Chris has stated during this offseason that he wants to be the "main guy."
3) How will Miami handle injuries and other team problems? Only time will tell us this if or when this deal actually becomes reality.
4) Also too, if you're going to sign these guys only to a 1-year contract as some are saying, and the team DOESN'T win a championship or go deep in the playoffs, what will be the benefits of such a move? How would you recover from such a blow? It would take a lot of rebuilding to get the power back.
Those are the lingering questions that must be solved correctly if these things are to become true to life. I will update you all further as developments continue. I for one hope this is all a rumour and nothing more and would very much like for Chris to move elsewhere.
In other news...the Jays lost 5-4 last night to the Cleveland Indians in the 2nd game of the 4-game series. Starter Brendan Morrow got the loss and fell to 5-6 while Cleveland starter Fausto Carmona improved to 7-6. In the game, Matt LaPorta belted a huge home run in the 6th inning to help the Indians cause, closer Kerry Wood got the save for the Tribe, and Travis Hafner was big too for Cleveland. He hit two big doubles and scored an RBI. Toronto fell to 40-38 with the loss and now tries to aim for a critical win tonight as Jesse Litsch takes to the mound. Here is the recap. That's all the time we have tonight. Thank you for reading.
