Your probably right about Lebron jumping ship for a better younger team but trading a major piece of a championship team is a hard move to make, especially when they've only played forty games since winning a title. Arm chair GM is an easy job compared to what an NBA front office does.

We should all be hoping that bosh is not an all star. maybe that will be a sign to him.

You're really voting against Bosh? Do you not remember how great he was playing the first 2 months of the season? Was being considered by many the best BIG in the East. Now that he's struggling the last couple of weeks you're bashing him?

It's more than that. He's made comments to the media that doesn't sit well with many here. Yes, he's in a funk offensively, but that's not an excuse for not being at least engaged in the games. Lately, he's been damn near non-existent. He might end up being an All-Star reserve......

Struggling is a huge understatement.

It's like at times he's just checked out.

Even as so many of us continue to question whether anyone in the East can really capitalize on the defending champs' frailties, TNT's Charles Barkley continues to trumpet the need for an in-season trade in Miami similar to the deal Houston struck way back in 1994-95, when the Rockets concluded that they didn't have enough to repeat and unexpectedly swooped up Clyde Drexler at the deadline.

Those Rockets, with Phi Slama Jama college teammates Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon reunited, indeed took off after the trade and won it all as a No. 6 seed out West. But that remains one of the few instances, along with Detroit's acquisition of Rasheed Wallace in 2004, in which a prominent addition as late as February was followed by a championship in June.

The Heat, by all accounts, just aren't open to that sort of shake-up. No matter how much chatter there is about its lack of size, rebounding woes and defensive slippage, from The Chuckster or otherwise, sources plugged into the league's personnel grapevine say that Miami isn't prepared to part with Chris Bosh, not only in a bow to that daunting history, but because it's not exactly comfortable from a player-relations perspective to break up a star trio that famously plotted its move to South Beach in unison in the summer of 2010.

Said one rival exec with some interest in Bosh: "I think they are committed to him."

Definitely. Maybe playing against his former team on Wednesday will get him inspired

Lol, Bosh wasn't the reason the Heat won last season. Bosh showed up sporadically, with his performance being generally marginal at best (no real surprise there, he was the same the year before). This is why the Heat were just fine against the Indiana Pacers without him (despite that the Pacers were now even bigger, and had been quite good at keeping bodies out of the paint). No, basically, it was a heavy dose of James and Wade that did in the Pacers (in those final 3 games), a heavy dose of LeBron in the ECFs that did in the Celtics, and a heavy dose of LeBron with cameos from Shane Battier and Mike Miller that did in the Thunder.

Quit giving that ugly m-fer so much credit.
