Bosh Met With the Houston Rockets?
Thursday 01 July, 2010 at 1:40 pm Featured, Just for Kicks, NBA 6
Chris Bosh is on Award Tour...New York, Miami, Chicago...Houston??
For at least the next week, we’ll be hearing stories about how 10 different teams are signing the same player.
On the opening day of free agency, forward Chris Bosh met with the Houston Rockets. Earlier today, Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted the following:
“Just finished meeting with @chrisbosh – great player & person. He is about winning so I focused on how w/Houston he can win a championship.”
So, inquiring minds would want to know…Daryl, just what did you say? From looking at your situation, I’d be led to believe that you hit him with the following points which would need to happen for the words ”Rockets” and “NBA title” to be mentioned in the same sentence:
Bosh is not the missing piece to a Houston run at the championship.
- Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Kevin Durant, Steve Nash, and Dwight Howard will all retire because their teams are clearly better than the Rockets
- Yao Ming will have his natural legs amputated and replaced with the legs of the Bionic Man to prevent any further games lost due to injury
- We will strongly encourage LeBron and Dwayne to accept separate offers from cellar-dwelling teams like the Clippers and the Nets
- We will tell Kevin Martin that players on real teams (not Sacramento) are required to at least try to stop their opponent from scoring
I’m sure that Bosh was comforted by Morey’s truthfulness. But if Bosh is moved by anything other than money, don’t expect to see him in a Rockets uniform.

You are a tard T Lamont. who is above the rockets…. lakers….denver if they dont trade melo….thunder have alot of talent, but i like the rockets more… who else. the whole league is getting shaken up to its core. i keep forgeting that alot of people dont know basketball…. just a bunch of tards. the rockets have Yao…the best shooting bigman the game has ever seen and you cant teach 7 foot 6, brooks who had the most 3 pointers in the game/most improved player last year, martin…who is an all star but has just played on a small market team his whole career. he averages 10 free throws a game. only 6 players in the game can do that (James, melo, wade, kobe, durant, martin) so that by itself shows the caliber of a player he is. Ariza is the best wildcard in the game. can score 30 pts at anytime, great defender, great at steals, can block, not a star of a team as he showed, but is great as a role playing starter. and scola has shown the kind of scorer he can be with his great "scoup" shot.
Not to mention, coach aldeman is the most under rated coach in the game. without a allstar for almost all of the season last year, he showed what his team can do under his system. i believe there is not a single coach in the game that could of done what he did last year with the players he had. great system, along with a team with 3 or 4 potiential allstars.im sorry your wrong T Lamont. there isnt but 3 or 4 teams that might be ahead of the rockets. all thats needed is one more piece, a great rebounder/defending big man. bosh is a bad fit with the rockets, we dont need 2 scoring big men. we need Yao and a guy like stoudemire or heyward or lee. but ill let the rocket do the talking when they win the title next year. __
i wont be comming back to your site to see what you have to sya back, so if you want to talk to someone who realy knows sports, my email is goodfellas6730@yahoo.com. peace
Wow!! I never saw someone get so angry b/c his team hasn't been relevant since Kenny Smith was in the dunk contest. You can't teach 7 foot 6, but you also can't teach good healthy bones either. So I don't think there's much of a chance for a Rocket title.
Oh and I forgot to mention… You're talking about how Kobe, Pierce, Durant, and Lebron and Wade's future teams are going to be stacked. Remember who the Pistons beat in 2004 (4 games to 1) to grab the championship title? LA Lakers headed by the likes of Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, and Shaq (when he was still good, if not the best player in the nba at the time). That's not just 5 all stars, thats 5 future hall of famers. You know, that sounds awfully similar to putting Lebron, Wade, Bosh, and Joe Johnson on a team.
I think the author has a very bad understanding of what the rockets are about and what they need to succeed. Daryl Morey and coach Adelman are going for the team chemistry over superstar approach. Somewhere between Kobe leading his team to back-to-back championships and LBJ leading his team to 61-21 record in the east, we forgot that long ago teams without any superstars can win championships too. Pistons ring a bell? Rockets are very similar to the championship piston team, they're a bunch of guys with similar talent, personalities and playing styles and the ability to mesh (Just look at how poorly Carl Landry's doing on another team compared to on the rockets, even his free throw percentages went down. The genius of Daryl Morey is that he can see team Chemistry unlike any other manager in the league). On top of that, Rockets went 42-40 without Yao this season. Their starting center was 6'6" for crying out loud (Same height as Kobe for reference). And yet despite the obvious over-exploitation of their lack of big men, they still managed to stay 3rd in their division. Sure K-Mart is not the best defender, but he's just a piece of the puzzle. Don't forget Houston has defensive specialist Shane Battier AND Trevor Ariza to shut down any shooting guard out there, even the likes of Kobe (as Battier did in the playoffs just 2 season ago). The Rockets are all about pieces. And the only pieces they're missing are a center who can defend the post and grab boards (If Yao comes back and stays healthy) and a power forward who can make those bread and butter plays (Bosh). With Bosh, the Rockets will be a serious contender for the finals.
