Official Miami Heat "DreamTeam" Thread: Miami Plan A Success

Sources said the Raptors will try to acquire draft picks and young players in return for Bosh.

They would likely ask for forward Michael Beasley and point guard Mario Chalmers in any deal with the Miami Heat.

If Bosh were to go to the Chicago Bulls, the Raptors like forward Taj Gibson and center Joakim Noah, though Noah could prove impossible to pry from Chicago.

If Bosh settles on the New York Knicks, the Raptors would try to engage in a double sign-and-trade that sends Knicks forward David Lee to Toronto. Sources called a potential sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Lakers "doubtful."

They are willing to stay over the cap and the luxury tax level for Michael Beasely?????????

I would rather have Bosh walk. That is crap talent to remain over the luxury tax level.

Im sure they can find a better deal. Why not New York and get David Lee in return? This deal has me

Bosh has to agree. He may not want NY.

Report: NBA agent says Heat likely to land Bosh
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports: A veteran NBA agent representing several players on the free-agent market said he expects the Heat to land power forward Chris Bosh. Because Bosh is seeking a maximum contract, the agent said Toronto may be prepared to swing a sign-and-trade deal with Miami.

The trade exception that Toronto would receive could be worth up to about $9 million and would allow the Raptors to obtain a player or players making that much without giving up a player in return.

Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo said earlier this week that obtaining as many assets as he could for Bosh would be his primary goal in the free-agency period.

As expected, supposedly imminent Bosh-Beasley swap between Toronto and Miami now being shot down in both cities-for now.

. Top-level source insists Raptors have no interest in Heat's Mike Beasley or Mario Chalmers & seek $16 mil trade except.

With a report earlier in the day of how LeBron James and Ray Allen could end up in Cleveland together, it's now being rumored that LeBron has spoken to Allen about playing for less money in Miami.

LeBron is supposedly referring to him, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as 'Dream Team,' and supposedly has already asked Ray-Ray to join the three of them in Miami. Again, most of this is coming from unnamed sources, but it is starting to feel like Bron, Wade and Bosh all have a plan in place to play together, and if they can get Allen to join the mix, they are going to be very tough to beat.

I don't ever remember MJ getting together with Hakeem and Drexler during the summer discussing where they were going to sign together.

Well if Lebron wins under such a stacked team (and he will win!),... At the moment I'm worried that if this Miami super team got assembled, then the NBA would be doomed. The Lakers might compete with them for 1-2 years, then the Lakers too are doomed,...

therealdeal wrote:^ Yeah? And what happens after that? The starting five plays all 48 minutes? Where's their bench? Not nervous at all. Let them try this, they still matchup well against the Lakers.

And by the way to no one in particular, I called Ray following LeBron. Zing!
