Would Miami Consider Either of These Blockbuster Trades?

Idea 1.  Trade Bosh to Lakers for Bynum.  If I'm the Lakers, I say no way.  Bosh' trade value has declined way too much. LA must realize that Bynum is the key for them to be able to repeat against Boston.  They would lack the physicality without Bynum.

Idea 2.  Bosh to Dallas for Haywood or Chandler. This is more realistic, money aside. Dallas can afford to give up one of these guys. And yes, I think Bosh' trade value has plummeted that much already!!

Idea 3.  James to Denver for Carmelo (in sign and trade) and Lawson.  Carmelo's game complements Wade's better than James' game does.  Plus Law could be starting PG.  Chemistry should improve a lot in Miami.  Wade for Melo makes no sense because James and Melo together makes no sense.

Idea 4.  (Assumes James will not be traded under any circumstances).  Wade to New Orleans for Chris Paul.  This only works if Paul renews his trade demands. Frankly, the exit of Collison would make this tougher for NO to consider.  But if they agreed, I think the chemistry in Miami would be vastly improved. Paul would unquestionably be in charge of the team, and LBJ would have to work off the ball more. 

I think Miami's chemistry, though still early, is not working. Of course, Miami will first fire Coach Eric and replace him with Riley, probably before the Laker game on Christmas. The chemistry will not get any better, and a suspect that a major trade will go into the works along the lines outlined above before the trade deadline.

Key question: Do any of the (not so) Big 3 in Miami have no trade clauses? In all the hype last summer, I don't recall this ever being reporting.  If not, the ideas above becoming more realistic.

I was pretty confident before the season started that Bosh would not be able to cut it, but Miami's problem runs much deeper: Wade + Lebron is far greater than WadeLebron.

Another poster (josh88) suggested Bosh to Portland for Andre Miller and Marcus Camby.  Sounds crazy but I think this is a deal that helps both teams.  Miami get a true center and a true PG which fits much better with Wade at SG and James at SF.  Portland unloads their two oldest players and move forward with a young core of Roy/Oden/Bosh.  Maybe Miami throws in a shooter.

Haven't checked the numbers or trade clauses.

I don't think they'd consider any of those trades except maybe the CP3/Wade swap. That's the only one that's close to even value.

I don't think Bosh is going anywhere, you don't panic on a 6 year max deal after 9 games. Not when you've been a good defensive team and offense has been the bigger problem.

The defense of Miami last night was one of the worst I have seen this season by any team.  They were awful.

Miami gets too old doing this, so would decline.

None of those trade get considered. The Heat are not going to trade Wade, Bosh, or James... That notion needs to stop coming up in scenarios.

None.



Sign Dampier.



Look to trade for a PG that can defend and shoot.  Do not need to have playmaking skills.

You mean, like Boston? (lol) The deal won't happen but not for that reason.

They won't consider any of the deals.  Miami's not even gonna think about blowing up their top 3 until they've had at least a full season under their belts.  Panic trades after 9 games aren't Riley's style.

While I don't think they'll consider a trade, I do think it's fun to think about ways they could improve their roster. I'd wager that the original poster didn't put this up thinking that a trade is inevitable.

I'll throw one into the mix:
Chris Bosh, Chalmers and a #1 for Kevin Love and the right to Ricky Rubio

They won't trade any of them, unless they face some kind of a meltdown, a lot of presure is on this guys. Miami would be a great team if they could sort they offense up, and sing a good C and a PG. Trades will happen, I just hope nodoby gives them a disscount.

So they have to wait till December 15th for this one:

They would have to be in desperation mode for this.  But I could see Chauncey being a great addition to that team.  Miami loses a lot of depth in this trade.

 I have mixed feelings on this one... but its interesting
