Chris Bosh

With the 2010 Free Agent buzz dominating all NBA discussions, Vegas has jumped in with their opinion on the top 5 Free Agents:

LeBron James

Cavaliers -150
Bulls +125
Knicks +250
Nets +400
Heat +600
Clippers +1000

Dwyane Wade

Heat -400
Knicks +500
Bulls +500
Nets +1200
Clippers +1200

Chris Bosh

Knicks +300
Bulls +300
Heat +300
Rockets +300
Clippers +800
Wizards +800
Nets +1000
Raptors +1000
Cavaliers +2000

Amare Stoudemire

Knicks +220
Bulls +220
Heat +220
Suns +500
Nets +700
Clippers +1500
Cavs +2000

Carlos Boozer

Jazz +300
Bulls +300
Heat +300
Nets +300
Knicks +700
Cavaliers +1500
Clippers +1500

These odds allow gamblers to put their money where their mouth is, while also splashing a dose of reality into all the speculation out there.

Vegas is again shifting on LeBron, this time with the Bulls inching closer. Wade staying in Miami is as close to sure to a sure thing as you can get at -400. While Bosh, Stoudemire and Boozer still seem to be anyone's guess given how contingent they are on where LeBron lands.

We'll continue to update any changes, which are sure to come as July 1st arrives and the official recruitment begins.

In a short question and answer session with the Toronto Star, Raptors forward Chris Bosh revealed that New York is his favorite road destination.

"New York," Bosh said when asked what the best road city is in the NBA.

In "despite the fact that I can't see out of one eye, have already had micro-fracture surgery, but still want to market myself" news, the New York Post's Blog is reporting the Amare Stoudemire thinks he's better than Chris Bosh and he will be seriously considering New York in 2010:

CHICAGO - Here in Chicago waiting for the next wave of potential first-rounders to fill into Westin for the final media availability..

Back in New York, ESPN Radio's Brandon Tierney had Amare Stoudamire on this morning and reiterated remarks about his desire to play for Mike D'Antoni in 2010 while boasting about being better than Chris Bosh. Stoudemire told The Post similar stuff during All-Star Weekend.

When Tierney asked Stoudemire if he's better than Bosh, the Suns forward said, "Oooh man, are you kidding me? Ask Chris Bosh that question."

So that's a yes?

"No doubt about it, I'm better than Chris Bosh"

"How serious will you consider the Knicks in 2010"?

"I will be totally serious about that, I spent a lot of my childhood there, I have a connection with the state, and I also love the entire coaching staff"

" I think Coach D'Antoni's doing a phenomenal job with the Knicks, NY's a great city, I follow them closely."

If only he had told him where he was planning on going as well...According to Stephen A. Smith, Chris Bosh reportedly informed Toronto Raptors GM, Bryan Colangelo, that he will not re-sign with the team in 2010.

"He has no desire to remain in Toronto," said Smith, during a Feb. 1 interview.

Smith mentioned Miami and Dallas as possible destinations.

Could Bosh come to NY ahead of schedule? And if so would this encourage him to stay in 2010? I think so. New York is dying for a franchise player and Bosh could be that guy. Give him a season and a half to soak in the limelight of New York and get acclimated to Mike D’Antoni’s system, then the addition of LeBron in 2010 becomes that much smoother of a transition.

The question is – at what price? Bryan Colangelo won't even pick up the phone unless David Lee is on the table. Is it worth it to New York to give up David Lee now? Probably. Aside from Bosh's incredible talent, the Knicks may want to get aggressive to prevent him from ending up in Miami. The Knicks would be wise to block a Wade Bosh pairing now as a couple of winning seasons and nights out in South Beach might encourage both of them to re-sign with Miami in 2010, thus limiting the number of marquee players that will be available that summer.
