The Mavericks surprised everyone by making it to the 2nd round of the playoffs, so what is next for an encore? This off-season is going to be interesting with Jason Kidd and Brandon Bass, are top two free agents, looking for a big payday. I fully expect Kidd to be with the Mavs next season because the way the money works out, Dallas can offer him the biggest contract. Bass on the other hand will probably find another team (which is sad because I like him a lot) that can give more than a mid level exception.
One of the players possibly coming to Dallas according to Tim McMahon from dallasnews.com is Chris Bosh. According to the Morning News, Bosh has made it clear that he will not re-sign with the Toronto Raptors next season and he is expecting a max contract after the 09-10 season.
Here are the stats on Bosh from nba.com:
Height: 6-10
Weight: 230
College: Georgia Tech
Exp: 5 years
Went to Lincoln High School in Dallas.
2008-09: 22.7 PPG, 10 RPG
Career: 19.6 PPG, 9.6 RPG
He made 14.4 million this past year so Dallas would probably have to trade Eric Dampier and Jerry Stackhouse to match his contract. Would Toronto go for that or would they want Josh Howard instead of Damp? Do we want to make a big time trade for one guaranteed season of another finesse PF?
Tell me what you think? Do you want Bosh, a hometown guy, playing for the Mavs next season?
