  • Bosh or Wade?

    I don't mean whose the better player or the player you would rather build around. I mean who in 6 years (when their current Max deal would finish) would be better. Basically who is the safer player to give the Max to (they both will still get it and the extra 30 mill).

    Wade is already 28 and has already had multiple knee problems (not great for a guy who relies on athleticism as much he does). With all the bumps and brusies Wade has acquired through his reckless playing style and you add that to the amount of mileage in his career (Olympics and Playoffs). I'm not saying Wade will completely fall apart half-way through his new Max contract but he could regress enough to where his contract could burden a team.

    Bosh is not only 2 years younger than Wade, also usually SG's dont outlast PF career unless they completely devout themselves to taking care of their body (see Bryant, Kobe). Plus Bosh is a finesse PF and that would probably cause CB's NBA lifespan to increase.

    Also you have to account for the up-coming CBA coming and how it will tighten up the NBA salary cap, basically not allowing teams to build super teams anymore. Again this is not a slight against D-Wade or anything but how Bosh could be the better sign than Wade this off-season.

    Players need not worry about the upcoming CBA hurting them financially. By the time the Obama administration gets done with it and they will get involved, it will very union friendly. You betcha'

        That's just a silly question. Of course Wade. The guy is up there with LeBron, Kobe, and Melo. "True" franchise player if you will - can take the game over by himself.

          I don't think you guys understand my question, I meant who is the better investment for 6 years. Wade is top 3 player and IMO the only player than Kobe I would give the ball to at the end of game, BUT he is 28 and has serious knee problems, add that to his reckless style and that equals uncertain future into his 30s

          Just put away your preconceived notions of Bosh and just look at through the business side. I would be scared that Wade could regress and be burden for my teams cap flexibility.

            Obama has created a deficit that will never be paid off(Think $57 trillion). He has created more deficit in a year than the entire American history prior combined. He's screwed the American people over with the banker bail outs and what he's doing with health care reform is unconstitutional. If he somehow manages to get reelected(hello, new war? Iran maybe?) then things are not going to look much better long term. By the time the Obama administration gets done the American currency won't be the world reserve currency is more like it. Unemployment is through the roof and he lied about what he was going to do about the war. He lied about transparency, everything of significance is late hour backdoor dealing. I haven't even rolled up my sleeves yet in talking about what's wrong with the Obama administration but I'll leave it there. The players are going to get hosed compared to what they're currently getting and its going to stay like that for some time because people who don't have jobs don't go to basketball games or buy NBA trinkets. People forced to take pay cuts or reduced hours don't either. Just wait a little longer, we might see hyper inflation in the U.S. before its all said and done. Watch out then. I mean they're printing paper money like its going out of style. Paper not backed by gold, paper backed by paper.

            Wade gets my vote. He's going to have to change the way he plays soon though if he wants to have a long career. He can't go sacrificing his body like that if he wants to make it through six more years.

              Its a tough call.

              As it stands right now, Wade is better then Bosh, gets more respect then Bosh and Wade is actually a max worthy player.

              I think Wade has another 2-3 really good seasons in him, and Bosh probably has 3-4.

                Whoa there Apollo. That was a tad harsh wasnt it? You are not a card carrying member of the Tea Party are you?

                Lets try and get some facts straight shall we... as well as recent history including the incredible idiocy and contributions made by the previous administration to world peace and the economy.

                I realize this is a sports forum but your comments here, I believe, needed rebuttal. My apologies to readers of the thread.

                "Obama has created a deficit that will never be paid off(Think $57 trillion)."

                57 trill.? Huh? Source? Current deficit is $12.6 trill. (www.federalbudget.com). Here is an excerpt to digest..."When Bush took office, the national debt was $5.73 trillion. When he left, it was $10.7 trillion. That's a difference of $4.97 trillion..."

                http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...bt-under-bush/

                While the deficit/national debt has of course risen under Obama...a couple of wars (started under Bush), bail out of the banks (under Bush), the economic melt down (under Bush) and a cumulative tax break policy (under Bush)...will kinda do that to a deficit. Obama's timing was bad...getting elected in 2008. And all he did to raise the deficit was institute a historical necessity for his country where healthcare is considered a right (as in this country) not an option affordable only by some.

                "He has created more deficit in a year than the entire American history prior combined."

                Where are you getting this stuff? See above and please refute with a substantive link.

                Banker bailouts began under a republican/conservative (Bush) administration.

Care to explain if you currently accept the Canadian health system's "largesse" ...and how this is compatible with your position that what is in the US health bill is somehow nefarious (as it is infinitely inferior to what we have) and unconstitutional?

                "If he somehow manages to get reelected(hello, new war? Iran maybe?) then things are not going to look much better long term."

                War with Iran? If Bush were still president there would have been one there already. Cheney and the other neocons would have made sure of it. All Obama has done so far is try mightily to avoid war.

                "By the time the Obama administration gets done the American currency won't be the world reserve currency is more like it. Unemployment is through the roof and he lied about what he was going to do about the war. He lied about transparency, everything of significance is late hour backdoor dealing."

                More rhetoric? This is headshakingly obtuse. Did you just pull this American currency prediction out of ....

                Which currency or metal do you think the world would use (in the forseeable future)? Yuan, Ruble, Euro, Rupee, Peso? The American dollar and treasury bills/bonds inspite of the latest shocks is still the overwhelming currency of choice to hold. Please dont fear... nor buy too much gold (its overpriced).
                And what did Obama lie about? I must have missed some detail. All I know is that he engaged the opposition leadership in a very public/televised q&a and from what I understand some republican proposals on health care are now included in the bill. As a matter of fact while the public option (the Canadian system) was his first choice, he dropped it much to the chagrin of many Americans on the left. Of any recent president including our own Stephen Harper, Obama has been the most transparent and respectful of the opposing viewpoint. After all he did receive a significant majority including the house & senate. What do you want him and his supporters to do? Pull down their pants and rollover? Is that what the Bush admin. did while in office?

                "I haven't even rolled up my sleeves yet in talking about what's wrong with the Obama administration but I'll leave it there."

                  To be fair to Bush (I know extremely hard) the previous administration did give too much power to the corporations and banks (handing out at mortgages to people who can never pay that off= disaster in the making). Still since the 80s with all the tax cuts and the growing change of power going to companies and to much power for people you can't elect is never a good thing.

                  Again I think we are all of topic. Its Wade vs. Bosh (better investment over the 6 years).

                    I'd still take Wade over Bosh for the six years. Don't forget, Bosh has weak knees as well. Plus he's a big. When he loses his quickness he loses just about all he's worth since he won't be backing down opponents in the paint. And he isn't a great defensive stopper either. But i guess that won't be happening until the years after these next six. Hopefully. Still, I'd take Wade.

                      Year-to-date (YTD) the total overall U.S. debt is an unfathomable $57 Trillion Dollars. The average American's responsibility to retire the overall debt is a whopping $177,543.00 per individual or $679,749 per family. The interest so far this year, just the interest, on this debt is over $192 Billion.

                      Congress cannot so simply avoid the constitutional limits on its power. Taxation can favor one industry or course of action over another, but a "tax" that falls exclusively on anyone who is uninsured is a penalty beyond Congress's authority. If the rule were otherwise, Congress could evade all constitutional limits by "taxing" anyone who doesn't follow an order of any kind—whether to obtain health-care insurance, or to join a health club, or exercise regularly, or even eat your vegetables.

                      This type of congressional trickery is bad for our democracy and has implications far beyond the health-care debate. The Constitution's Framers divided power between the federal government and states—just as they did among the three federal branches of government—for a reason. They viewed these structural limitations on governmental power as the most reliable means of protecting individual liberty—more important even than the Bill of Rights.
                      Since the 1930s, the Supreme Court has been reluctant to invalidate "regulatory" taxes. However, a tax that is so clearly a penalty for failing to comply with requirements otherwise beyond Congress's constitutional power will present the question whether there are any limits on Congress's power to regulate individual Americans. The Supreme Court has never accepted such a proposition, and it is unlikely to accept it now, even in an area as important as health care.

                      The US dollar became the global "reserve currency" in 1944 near the end of World War II and continues as such. There have been numerous reserve currencies over the centuries, but none more widely accepted than the US dollar since 1944. While the US dollar has fluctuated widely in value over the 65 years since its designation as the reserve currency, its credibility has come under the most intense scrutiny ever in the last few years.
                      With President Obama's most unprecedented spending plans in history, with trillion-dollar budget deficits as far as the eye can see, and the potential to more than double the US national debt in the next 5-10 years, there is now widespread speculation that the dollar is headed for new all-time lows and a possible collapse.

                      As a result, we are seeing and hearing calls around the world to end the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency and replace it with something else.
                      Investor Insight
                      Consequently, the U.S. dollar is being replaced by Euro and other currencies and soon is going to be abandoned as a reserve currency in global financial system. Roberts appears to be seriously concerned: "I sometimes wonder if the bankrupt ‘superpower’ will be able to scrape together the resources to bring home the troops stationed in its hundreds of bases overseas, or whether they will just be abandoned."
                      Axis of Logic
                      “The U.S. economy will deteriorate into 2011 as the effects of excess consumption and the financial bubble linger,” said Daisuke Uno at Sumitomo Mitsui, a unit of Japan’s third- biggest bank. “The dollar’s fall won’t stop until there’s a change to the global currency system.”
                      “We can no longer stop the big wave of dollar weakness,” said Uno, who correctly predicted the dollar would fall under 100 yen and the Dow Jones Industrial Average would sink below 7,000 after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. last year. If the U.S. currency breaks through record levels, “there will be no downside limit, and even coordinated intervention won’t work,” he said.
                      Uno said after the dollar loses its reserve currency status, the U.S., Europe and Asia will form separate economic blocs. The International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights may be used as a temporary measure, and global currency trading will shrink in the long run, he said.

                      Obama is not your type of guy is he? Give us a clue who you would have preferred to be running the shop down there? Palin?
                      Dr. Ron Paul. He's a man of integrity, honest, extremely well educated, practical and isn't in the pocket of Wallstreet or big pharma.

                        Apollo,

                        One more go...

                        1) Could you please explain how the site you cite arrives at 57 trillion (ytd… whatever that means). It is a fact that the current deficit/debt is 12.6 trill. It is also clear from my previous post that Obama inherited a deficit of over 10 trill. So, I beg to understand why you blame Obama for 57 trill. Even if one voodoo-ed the 12.6 into 57…how is it that Obama is being blamed for all of the current deficit.

                        2) Re: constitutionality of the health bill. I am not in the least bit capable of nor wish to argue this very lofty subject. But I do know that the US Congress enacted a law and at some point the obstructionists (the Republican party in this case) will probably contest it in the Supreme Court. I am sure larger legal minds than you, me or the Wall St. Journal (an organ of big business and of course Wall St. and now owned by Rupert Murdoch of FOX News) have deemed that it is legal. I understand in the States, one has to pay into social security….another one of those odious "socialist" programs. Is that unconstitutional as well? In Canada we are “forced” to pay for our health care through our taxes. Do you find it unconstitutional, illegal or objectionable to do so? I think I posed this question before.

                        3) Re: the video clip from Fox News…Were you aware that the only inaccuracy in the statement was that his uncle was in the forces group that liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp… rather than Auchswicz?! He just misspoke the camp name. It is this kind of gotcha & petty finger pointing that some rabid conservatives and Fox News (definitely, “not fair nor balanced”) which is harming intelligent and proper political discourse in that country.

                        4) Re: Ron Paul…the little I know about him is that he is a libertarian and he was/is diminished by his own political party as a crank. Here is a piece though that doesn’t paint a very flattering historical picture based on his own writings.

                        To state “he isn’t in the pocket of Wallstreet or big Pharma” is to refute somewhat the contributions made to his political campaign from such institutions and many other big businesses as all politicians in the US do....a bane of their system imo.

                        I would love to investigate all of the 158 “lies” you cited...but...are you really convinced they are all accurate? The site looks a bit dodgy and the resident cartoonist/Photoshop expert isnt very good.

                          Wow this escalated quickly. This is the problem with arguing on the internet, you can pull facts out of anywhere and its near impossible to distinguish legitimacy from fabrication.

                          You could combine all 158 lies and it still doesn't touch the Bush administration fabricating the existence of WMD's as a precursor for invading Iraq.
