Obviously, Bosh will never be Howard on defense. But, remember how lethal their offense was with Howard -> Bosh is a much more polished offensive player, and we should be much improved in that area.

Franyly, we have two need right now, a decent scorer off the bench, and a defensive stopper specialst. If we could get something like barnes and bowen or similar, this team could surprise many.

The biggest risk right now is if we can't = because then we could have a monster starting lineup, but 0 scoring off the bench. And that could be trouble.
