Chris Bosh to Join LeBron on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Sign-and-Trade?

The speculation on Chris Bosh's next team has run rampant recently.

He supposedly created a list of five teams (Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Toronto) that he may sign with.

I agree with most people that Bosh will want to leave Toronto for the states this summer.

According to some sources, he will wait and see where LeBron James goes, and then join him.

Also, it has been said that he wants to do a sign and trade if he leaves Toronto, ostensibly so the Raptors will get something out of it, but more likely so he can get the extra $30 million that would allow him to sign for.

All these factors got me wondering, why not Cleveland? LeBron can re-up with the Cavs, and then a sign-and-trade can take place for Bosh. Maybe something like this:

Cleveland Trades

F Antawn Jamison

F J.J. Hickson

G Delonte West

Future Draft Pick/Cash

T oronto Trades

F Chris Bosh

G Marcus Banks ' expensive contract

I don't think you can slice it any other way, the Raptors are screwed if Bosh leaves. They couldn't make the playoffs with him, and won't without him.

At least if they do this trade, Hickson may be able to develop into a second or third option type of a player, and the overpaid Banks would be gone, replaced by West's non-guaranteed contract.

The Cavs would give a much better supporting cast for the two stars then the Knicks could, with Mo Williams, Varejao, Parker etc. and Shaq and Z would almost certainly re-sign.

I think this team would be even better than a Chicago team with LeBron would. Bosh can get the heck out of Toronto and join a superstar (and get that extra $30 million,) while James can get a winning team without looking disloyal by switching teams.

They would have all those guys, and have a good chance of signing some vets who want to win. If that team couldn't win any championships, then you would, or at least I would, begin to question LeBron's greatness.

Everyone wins—except for Jamison, Hickson, and West.

You would have to feel especially bad for Jamison after being rescued from the Wizards, only to be sent back to another rebuilding team.

Nothing personal, just good business.
