I disagree. Bosh and Garnett have similar body-types. There is no reason Bosh can’t workout and build as much muscle as KG.

Long time reader, first time poster.

I don’t think Beasley being 6′7 and Griffin measuring out at 6′10 is a big deal, in fact when you look out at their wingspan in comparison to each other, its a moot point.
Beasley measured out at 6′8.5, not quite prototypical PF height but when you consider what he brings to the table as a player, it evens out.

Height w/shoes Wingspan Reach No Step Vert Reach Max Vert

Michael Beasley 6′ 8.25″ 7′ 0.25″ 8′ 11″ 11′ 5″ 35.0

Height w/shoes Wingspan Reach No Step Vert Reach Max Vert

Blake Griffin 6′ 10″ 6′ 11.25″ 8′ 9″ 11′ 5″ 35.5

When you factor in Beasley longer standing reach, longer wingspan, nearly equal verticals despite probably assuming Griffin is a better athlete, Griffin’s 2 inch height advantage is a wash and is negated with his average wingspan and reach.

I think the comparison is apples and oranges really, as they will both in the future be 20 and 10 players in the L.

Honestly theres a lot of factors that go in before we give bosh an extention for the max and thats if he deserves it. . . If the team sucks as a whole there is no use or extending bosh, rather we should use him as a chip to get more pieces back meaning GRIFFIN!!! You know the guy has character not that bosh dosn’t but money can make anyone have big smoke dreams! Griffin seems like a character guy, why not snatch him, I would not take micheal beasley which was the purposed trade out there. . . The man is 6′7 which is small for a PF and Griffin is 6′10. . . Honestly i don’t see him becomming like a lebron, wade, those are completely different types of play. . . What is bosh gonna play sg? Come on! Something will fail with the raps, weather its chemestry, or rookies not stepping up to the challenge, delfino experiment failing. . . Or some big name getting injured. . . Why risk paying max when you can not rebuild necessary but retool with using bosh as hopefully calderon as a chip in the draft. . . I WANT GRIFFIN! ! ! And no i don’t want boozer because bosh is way more valueble then boozer, i think griffen will be better then both . . .

Dude, why do you resort to inviting physical violence when someone doesn’t agree with you. You insult other people all the time, so learn how to take it when you say something that you must know is ridiculous

bosh talk the talk of a superstar, but doesn’t act like one.

he won’t improve this summer. why? he never improved before…he’s stagnant

plus, in this last yeat, he won’t risk any major injury…

let others pay him maximum money…I prefer a winning player

—————

Agreed. 6 seasons and he wants to improve his game now? Why, because he wants to show off for other teams and wants a huge paycheck, not because he wants to help the Raptors. He’s a loser anyways I hope he gets knocked on his ass next year by Griffin.

It would take some cajoling, but the Pacers would bite eventually.

I like it. I hope Brian Colangelo reads this blog.

Hard to get assists when everyone just stands around and watches when he has the ball.

Raptors would love to dump Banks contract.
THe Hump may now be expandable due to Reggie Evans trade.

If I said we get a decent back up PG for these 2 with the salaries and years remaining on all contracts being equal we would all agree this would be a good move I am assuming. reasonable people so Khandor not included.

Trade:

Raps send Hump/Banks to Pacers for Jamal Tinsley.

Ok I know he is a head case but maybe he has learned his lesson after being banished last year. I actually think he would be a good backup and at times outplay Jose.

Do we want to pay a backup PG 7 mil a year for 2 years? off course not.

But the fact is we have Banks at 4.5 this year and 4.8 next and Hump make 3 millish therefore the salaries work.

Could backfire and he could be a cancer so you banish him and you lose Hump for basically nothing so its a gamble but could be a good one…

Pacers basically get Hump for nothing because there stuck with Tinsley 7mill contract and he is not going to play for them. Banks just gets passed around like a fat three paper…Puff Puff Pass mother fucker…
