James, Bosh and Wade vs Bryant, Garnett & Duncan??

I'm talking about 5-7 years down the road, Bryant, Garnett and Duncan will be in decline by then, and who knows...some of them may be in the east. Kobe is jetting from L.A. in the offseason, thats if he isnt found guilty for rape and sent to prision.

But ya know...some of the big players in the east could go to the west as well.

these rookies have guaranteed contract until 2006/2007 where the players contract has a team option for one more year, then the 2007/2008 season the team has to make a qualifying offer to the player where about 90% of the time the player stays with the original team for the duration of the contract signed, if not the next year they are an unrestricted free-agent...so thats at least 5 years in the east for these rookies...

Bosh is a bit overrated, so is Wade. They had a few good performances and are immediately named as the biggest, future stars ...

Lebron can make it, I'm sure of that.

If career ending injuries don't occur, I can see KG, Duncan and Kobe still playing on top of their game within 7 years ...

Toronto gains scoring power through Rose, but loses a lot of inside presence and rebound power, the question now is, what do they got left inside??? Bateer??

San Antonio hasn't played well this season thusfar ...

And Vince probably will never obtain consistency ...

I agree, we don't have size in the front court now but we were such a horrible offensive team that its not funny now. We average the lowest points per game in the league but we are one of the best points allowed in the league as well. Toronto gave up defense to get some offense and the vice-versa for Chicago. Rumour has it another trade is in the works in Toronto in the near future to get some size upfront

Bosh being overrated???? ARe u crazy man??????? This kid's been in the shadow of the top big 3!! In alot of the scouting reports they have touted Bosh as the player in the draft who most likely will pan out to be the best player in the long run. James and Anthony brings you immediate help already. But Bosh has exceeded all expectations this year and is contributing more than most predicted. People were saying he needs to gain more weight, he's too small, etc. Well he gained weight over the summer and is continuing to do so. In the scouting reports, they compare the rookies to a current NBA player and Bosh is being compared to both Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. Bosh is just a little raw right now, give it some time.

And BMB, have you honestly watched any Raptor game this season to make such a judgement?

I've watched two Raptors games thusfar this season.

I'm not saying Bosh won't make it, cause yes, he sure has a lot of potential. But the media just jumps way to quickly to conclusions. Putting too much weight on his shoulders might have a bad effect on his play and certainly his development.

He's playing well thusfar and suddenly he's already expected to achieve this and that on short term or/and on long term ... not tha perfect scenario. He needs to work further, just as he's been doing thusfar. Expecting too much or putting too much pressure on his shoulders, will just have a bad effect in the long way ...

Comparing rookies to All Stars is never a good judgement.
