Miami wont trade Wade and Bosh for howard thats absurd and dumb for the Heat. However if they can revolve a package around Bosh that would be the best Orlando might be able to get for Howard and that would make Miami ridiculously scary.
Wade and Bosh for Howard does sound a bit far-fetched. It might be more palatable for the Heat if Ryan Anderson was included.
A Bosh package makes the most sense for the Heat to keep a Howard/James/Wade core together. But hard to see the Magic biting on just Bosh and filler. I think they would rather take their chances and hold onto Howard for the rest of the season and see what happens.
If he enters free agency, could Miami amnesty Bosh and sign Howard? Do they have that financial flexibility?
If I'm the Heat, I'd rather trade Wade than Bosh. Wade is about 3 years older than Bosh and is more brittle. ...........That team would be unstoppable if healthy.
I agree with you from the Heat perspective, but the Magic have to feel the same way we do about Wade's durability, which is why they would want both Bosh and Wade. One of them doesn't get it done.
Also whoever gets Howard in a trade, will most likely have to eat Hedo. To make the salaries match, it almost has to be both Bosh and Wade. Can't see taking Wade and filler (Battier, Miller, etc wouldn't be enough).
If Miami really wants Howard in a trade, which seems like the only way for them to get him and keep him given their salary situation, they gotta pay. What scares me is if they know he wants to come and they just amnesty Bosh next year like the Knicks did to Billups for Chandler, in effect they're just giving up Bosh for Howard. If they can do that, that's scary and may turn me off to the NBA for awhile.
Miami would never trade Bosh and Wade for Howard and they wouldn't have to. Wade alone is a better deal for Orlando than any other trade offer they have received.
Miami would keep Bosh over Wade. Howard, Bosh, James, Miller, Chalmers is a much better basketball fit than Howard, J. Anthony, James, Wade, Chalmers. The players just fit better and would cause much greater match up problems for opposing teams. I mean that frontline would be a better version of the Lakers Bynum/Gasol team that won two titles and the rest of the team i.e. James, Chalmers, Cole, Miller, Anthony is better than the rest of that Lakers team. They would be unstoppable with that lineup. I think a team could still beat them if they had Wade instead of Bosh, even though Wade is a better player that team is easier to shut down (it lacks the interior offensive player that you really need to win a title).
