REPORT: LEBRON, CAVS WANT BOSH IN CLEVELAND

Quote:

LeBron James and Chris Bosh could well end up playing together when the NBA free agency dominoes fall later on in the week, but the city they play in could be Cleveland - and not Miami or Chicago.

According to ESPN NBA Insider Chris Broussard, the Toronto Raptors have told the Cavaliers that they would be willing to do a sign-and-trade that would send the power forward to Cleveland.

Broussard speculates that in return, Toronto could get Anderson Varejao and/or J.J. Hickson, along with Delonte West and perhaps Anthony Parker as well as a possible draft pick.

According to Broussard's sources, the Cavs and James are trying to convince Bosh to go to Cleveland as opposed to a bigger U.S. city that Bosh reportedly favours.

The report says that Bosh, however, is cool to the idea of playing in Cleveland. Sources indicate that Bosh would prefer to play with James in Chicago, Miami, or New Jersey.

One possible sticking point for Bosh's potential arrival in Cleveland would be the position the Cavs would want him to play.

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix is reporting that Bosh is apparently balking at the idea of playing centre and would prefer to remain at the power forward spot. According to Mannix, the Cavaliers would have to guarantee a legit centre would have to be in place before Bosh agrees to anything. This could pose a problem as both players who lined up at the five for the Cavs last season, Shaquille O'Neal and Zydrunas Ilgauskas are up for free agency, while Varejao who has played centre in the past may be involved in any potential deal to acquire Bosh.

Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo spoke on the issue of using the sign-and-trade to get assets back for Bosh on Monday.

"I would say there are multiple options that could play themselves out and we're prepared for multiple options," Colangelo told the Canadian Press. "But at the end of the day things have to make sense for all sides...that's the part that ultimately needs to be decided.

"He might decide on a franchise and we may participate, we may not and that's kind of where things are."

Anyone else here think that Knicks signing Amare' is good? I personally don't like it as much... why? he is not as good defensively and gets injured and now he is signed for 100million guaranteed...

I personally like David Lee and i'm not sure why the knicks are letting him go.... I guess it's all about the "name"

amare is gonna do squat in NY

mark my words

That's not saying much....Amare is only as good as his point guard. No Nash, means his numbers will drop big time in my opinion. I can't even name the point guards on the Knicks.

nope no one gives a fuck about johnson lol

Amare to the knicks does nothing really. Nash is the one who made Amare look good. Other then his pick and rolls, what else does he have? His low post is pretty good and his outside shot is ok at best but his ppg will drop drastically. Unless they can do alot of pick and rolls plays or the knicks start playing run and gun ball

Chris duhon signed with the Magic. And i doubt tony parker is going to head to NY. Amare is in it for the money; even he know with his injury history he might not have many years left in the league to be considered a star player, obviously he is going for the big guaranteed contract. NY is just too desperate for ANY big name, i just hope amare doesnt turn out like another eddie curry.

it's a stupid trade ... i dont see how amare replacing david lee is an upgrade

so thursday 9PM EST is the day..

LOL.. I'm not a huge fan of Amare' but did you just say Eddie Curry? I'm pretty sure he is leaps and bound more talented than Curry. But the Suns need to make a move and add another front court presence

The Spurs need to do something and change it up...they already have a pretty good PG in George Hill so Parker can be traded...If he wants to go to NY, why not go for a Sign & Trade?. Lee for Parker

Wow! I think that's the nicest thing I've seen done haha.. I think LeBron stays in Cleveland. Wade stays in Miami. Joe Johnson stayed with ATL. Only Bosh leaves and go to one of these teams....

So much for bosh wanting to be the "main" guy and not a supporting role LOL

And what's up with LeBron wanting a 1 hour special on TSN to announce the freakign decision..holy shit...

I bet he will say "I've always loved Cleveland and would like to spend my entire career with 1 team, bla bla bla"

bosh is on his way to miami !

I wonder if Seattle ever regret selling the Sonics.. I mean, now they have a solid team and Durant will sign a 5 yr extension....oh damn... i wish they were still in Seattle. makes things easier to watch a game live

BOSH AND WADE TEAMING UP IN MIAMI
