Chris Bosh. My other centers are Magloire (underachieving so far) and Pachulia but I love the PF/C option that Bosh gives me in my lineup. I might take a slight hit in total contributions pts/steals but a scoring center is more valuable than a SF (plenty abound even on waivers) A move that I was looking at was perhaps dropping Stackhouse (injury prone)for Raja Bell (draining threes from all over) funny about the Carmelo trade i just gave him away for… Chris Bosh.

But, he overall is a guy who can easily get 16/10/6, and that is pretty nice from a Center. Also, Center is probably one of the biggest positions of scarcity, especially with so many teams playing small ball. Melo only really helps in scoring...and quality swingmen are the easiest position to get a hold of. I probably wouldn't do it, if for the simple fact that Melo doesn't contribute a lot of 3's or assists, which is something I'd want for giving up Miller. But then again, it depends if you're playing in a Roto or head to head leave and if your lineups are daily/weekly.... True, I have Miller and notice he’s had a bad few games in a row now.

But he's been a little banged up and has a tendency to go hot and cold. Like I said earlier today, Parker has been one of the most consistent guys in the league this year. But since he doesn't hit many 3s or get many steals, he'll never be a true top player. It's a pretty even deal; Wallace without a doubt has more upside, but Parker's the steadier choice. Melo for Miller? I don't know. They are pretty even, but trading a top center for a SF isn't usually my favorite thing. I probably wouldn't do it, but you know your team better.

I love those St. Joe's guards. Think Portland would rather have Nelson or West instead of Telfair? What about Cleveland instead of Luke Jackson?

I would hesitate (just barely)to add Ridnour to “The Fall” whose injuries have reduced his playing time but is still valuable for his steals and assists while his 3pt shooting has become a liability

and Watson is still in limbo but could be turning the corner on the heels of his 20 pt performance going 6-7 from downtown vs. Houston
