If the Lakers traded for Bosh instead of Gasol, how many titles do you think they win

[SouBeachTalents]

Do you think they still win 2? More or less? And do you think Bosh would have had the same statistical output and impact that Gasol had?

4. Kobe would've made him a better player than he was in Toronto for sure.

0, Bosh wouldve basically been what Radmanovic was for the Lakers, a shooter

No 7 footer post up big = no rings for kobe

3 or 4.

Bosh is the best pick and roll defender in the NBA and he wouldn't quit on the team.

0. Maybe 1 if Kobe goes nuts.

LOL Pau Gasol is extremely underrated.

[Fudge]

They'd 3peat, IMO.

lebron wouldn't have won in 2013 with that tip to ray

[no pun intended]

Gasol was the ideal big man for a triangle offense. It's hard to say how good Bosh would've been moving the ball to the right players at the right time.

Ray wouldn't have won without that triple double from lebron

If they trade for Bosh in 08? In Phil's system? Bosh puts up 19/10 on high efficiency. Heck, he put up 19 & 8 with having two high-usage players on the team in Lebron & Wade, he'd put up better numbers in the triangle, alongside Kobe. Bosh a better defender than Pau as well, moves better in transition (on defense). Lakers would probably be better with Bosh in Pau's place, since Bosh is also younger.

Probably win from 08-10 because Bosh would play better than Pau did in the Finals. And with Bosh still on the roster in 2012? Lakers go to the Finals that year, possibly. Pau was so bad in that OKC series, Kobe averaged 39 & 7 in the last 3 games and we still lost in 5.

People are underrating Bosh here. Bosh without Lebron, Wade > Pau without Kobe.

Bosh led his team to two Playoff appearances and won at least one game in both series while putting up good numbers. Also his scoring numbers are better than Pau's and he's a better shooter & a defender. Pau is more skilled in the post, but that's about it.

I guess that one rebound makes up for his pathetic 11 & 6 on 42% through the ECF & Finals, as well as his bagel in Game 7

He played great defensively in Game 7. Wade and Lebron took care of the scoring.

0. When Bosh averages 20/10 on 54% for an entire playoff run let me know. Long story short Pau steps up in the playoffs, while Bosh constantly vanishes.
In b4 Kobetards bring up that one rebound in game 6, as if that makes up for him being a no show in every other playoff game.

[SouBeachTalents]

He played great defensively in Game 7. Wade and Lebron took care of the scoring.

How about his 11 & 6 average on 42% through the ECF & Finals?

[JT123]

He played great defensively in Game 7. Wade and Lebron took care of the scoring.

And if Lebron plays just slightly worse the Heat lose and no one gives Bosh a pass for going scoreless.
