From Bosh's POV, Houston is by far the best fit. And he gets a max deal with no state income tax. The Rockets would be looking nice if they pick up Bosh.

Definitely. They've Dwight too - so Bosh can play his natural position. It's easily the best fit for Bosh. He is a pretty good 3pt shooter too - so that'll really make things easy for Dwight as well. Great fit for both Bosh and Houston.

Might be better for Miami also if they can get Bron and somehow get Melo...

32 million over 4 years? I'm not really understanding this move by Orlando. They have plenty of young talent to groom so why overpay for Frye?

They were $20 mil under the cap minimum. I guess they had to give the money to somebody lol.

Same thing with Ben Gordon. Orlando is not exactly a FA hot spot at the moment. They have to give away money to get players to go there and meet the salary cap requirements.

Hawes got less cuz he's a soft big with issues staying on the court. Frye is finally getting healthy and can give your offense options as a stretch 4.

edit:: but i do agree that Frye is getting overpaid
