The Toronto Star has a story on Toronto Raptors free agent forward Chris Bosh and his options during the upcoming free agency period, and one intriguing possibility that is mentioned is Bosh signing with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The article notes that one incentive for Bosh is that OKC is close to his Dallas home. But there's more reason than that. Anyone who saw the Thunder knock off the Lakers in Game 3 last night would have to be excited about the possibility of playing with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden for the next few years, and Bosh would fill a real need for the Thunder as a post scorer. From a talent and roster perspective, OKC is a much more attractive option than either the Chicago Bulls or the Miami Heat, and with several of the top Western Conference teams getting to be on the older side, the Thunder is poised to be a threat in the West for years to come. We're just speculating on all of this, but given all these reasons and the fact that the organization will have plenty of cap space this summer, you'd think Bosh would have to start giving the team some serious consideration.

Yea Bosh to OKC makes a lot of sense. They would be a contender for a long time. Durant would have the type of player with him that Lebron has never had in Cleveland. Not to mention Russell Westbrook and all the other good young players they have on that team.

Let's hope it doesn't happen, the Wolves already get eaten alive by Thunder, Nuggets, Jazz, & Blazers. We don't want Bosh in our division as well.

Westbrook-Harden-Durant-Bosh-Krstic that would be unstopable. But who knows, maybe Bosh will be in a TWolves uniform next year.

Wow... I never even thought about Bosh to the Thunder. Man, that would be soooo sick. They'd be a top 4 team in the West for the next decade. The Thunder need a big man like him. They also need a big defensive minded center, but I don't really see any great options for them in the near future.

And Bosh isn't very old either, he'd be the perfect fit with that team. I always just assumed he'd try to go play with LeBron or Wade or someone like that, but this would make a ton of sense for him. Plus it's close to home. If I was Bosh, I'd go for it.

I suggested this to Ed.

Whyyyyyyy!!!
We are in the same conference.

If they do not get Bosh what about this;
Jeff Green + Collison for Big Al

I personally would not do it, but know that most of you would.

Why not? He's a perfect fit. Not like Bosh would ever come to the Wolves, so it doesn't matter that they are in our conference. Plus the conferences hardly mean anything at all in the NBA anymore.

Ehhh, I wouldn't. Jeff Green is decent, but he wouldn't be that good on the Wolves I don't think.

I'd rather trade Al to the Pistons for Prince + #7 pick.

Yeah I'd much rather do the Prince deal even if we had to send one of our other 1st rounders with Al.

Check out the comments. Ed does not agree with me.

That's crazy talk. If you can get Bosh and Durant on your team you do it and figure the rest out later.

Yep, that's actually not a bad return in that trade but I personally do not like Green or Collison and wouldn't do it.
