Is Chris Bosh Going to Be Traded?

Last night's NBA Finals game was awesome. But now that the season is officially over, there are some questions that need to be raised.

Dwyane Wade
What does Wade need to do this offseason? Well, obviously he needs to heal and recover. If the man has to go to Germany to get some crazy new surgeries on his knee, then do it. He's got to do whatever it takes so that his knees rest and recover. Also, it would be good to see D-Wade work on his jumper a little bit more. During the season, Wade will probably play much less minutes. That's okay, because the man is a superstar, future HOF, and great player. As long as he recovers correctly and further improves his jumper, he will lengthen his career. Remember, we all thought Kobe (well at least I did) was done during the past three years. Kobe went to Germany, got some weird blood treatment, and now looks great (ignoring the Achilles right now). I don't think that Wade is done. If he continues to hone his jumper (which is all hard word), he can really adapt his game, similar to a way MJ did once he got older.

Lebron James
Rest. Lebron needs to rest. He's only gotten a combined 2 weeks of rest over the past 2 years. Lebron needs to take an extended rest (1-2 months) and really recover. His legs must be spent. Also, he lost a lot of weight during the playoffs, and he should look to get that weight back. Otherwise, Lebron should continue to work on his jumper. It looked lethal last night.

Chris Bosh
There are people saying that Bosh will be traded. Bosh had an okay series. He didn't score too well, but he did make some crucial plays to help the Heat win the series. Bosh didn't score last night, but his energy and rebounding was still important. Bosh should look to put on some more weight during the offseason. I know that Bosh will never be a "banger", but it wouldn't hurt to put on an extra 5-10 pounds of muscle to help with his defense and rebounding. Also, Bosh has always had a good jumper, but he can be a very streaky shooter. His jumper could still get a lot more consistent. However, he might be traded, so I will address that later.

Role Players
*Disclaimer: I haven't looked into any of the contract situations, so I'm not sure who is a free agent. Anyways, Micky Arison is a great owner who will take a loss in order to win. I'm not too worry about any contract issues with role players.

Mario Chalmers had a solid series. He played well last night (save for a few dumb early turnovers) and was a big factor in the championship run. A lot of people forget about his buzzer-beating backboard three at the end of the third quarter. Absolutely huge.

Mike Miller might be back. If he wants to be back, he will be. Obviously, at a cheap price. Still, he's a great shooter and was a huge spark during the past two weeks. Last night he missed his shots, but his impact will not be forgotten.

Shane Battier had a funny reference to Mark Twain in the post game press conference. He said something about his "premature demise". Anyways, look it up. Battier was hilarious and sounded like a goon. Battier has had a terrible playoffs, but played out of his mind last night. The Heat would love to have him back.

Norris Cole should continue to get stronger. Intense defender and solid jump shooter. However, Parker abused him by throwing his body against Cole. Cole is very quick, but he can definitely stand to get stronger to avoid being posted up and backed down by bigger guards. In fact, Parker isn't even that big. He's only 6'2'' 180. Still, he's bigger than Cole.

Udonis Haslem will be back. Heart and soul of the team. Didn't play much this series due to match-ups. However, he was huge in the Indiana series and is vital to the team.

Chris "Birdman" Andersen was so important to the Heat's championship run. Without him, the Heat don't win the trophy. He should be back.

Ray Allen was "Jesus Shuttlesworth". Collectively, Heat fans want him back. He will be back. Enough said.

Offseason?
Is Bosh going to be traded? Many people think so, but those around Pat Riley say that he is incredibly loyal. If that's so, Riley will not trade Bosh. Also, Bosh's value throughout the past couple of years has definitely declined. He's getting paid $20+ million during the next two years. Even if the Heat were willing to trade him, it would be tough to find a team willing to take on that contract.

Greg Oden rumors? The Heat pulled themselves out of the Greg Oden talks in mid-February, but you would have to think that maybe the Heat re-engage in those talks? Why wouldn't Oden want to play with the Heat? He'll probably start, and instead of playing heavy minutes and risking further knee injuries, he would get to ease his way back into the league. Oden can still run and jump. Paired with Birdman, Oden could help form a formidable defensive front-line to better help the Miami Heat combat teams like Indiana and Chicago. Hell, if Birdman and Oden are both on the Heat and playing "big", then game over. The Heat will be unstoppable. Literally they will have no weaknesses.

Conclusion: We will see where the offseason goes. Moves will definitely be made.
