The Chris Bosh Saga

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

I can't blame them though, I really can't.

Being a Canadian sportsfan (or in general) really has to suck.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

For you salary wizards on here:
Are there any teams that can offer two max contracts?

Thanks for this man. Very helpful.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

I don't think there is truely any single team that can offer two full-blown max deals, because the Heat will have upwards of $25M in capspace, but that is before they resign Wade. The Knicks have a similar amount of space but they'll also have to re-sign Lee and Robinson. If they want to open that additional space, they'd have to renounce their rights (as restricted FAs) and that would put them at big risk of losing both/either for nothing.

I don't expect ANY team will be in a position to offer two max deals, but I could definitely see two big-time players taking slight paycuts (heaven forbid) to allow a team to sign other stars. It will definitely be very interesting to see what happens.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

Discussing a pipe dream that was made up by a bored NYPost reporter.

Why the hell would the Raptors trade their shot at the playoffs and resigning Bosh for damaged goods in Bynum.

It's not going to happen unless Jerry West becomes the GM of the Raptors.

Thank you, nothing really more needs to be said, and we will resign Bosh.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

Why would they trade Bynum. I understand that the have Gasol but, come on! Bynum is going to be a monster very soon. IDK, maybe it help Toronto but, whatever.

Hahahaha...

Bosh is arguably the best PF in the game this season.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

Three people think Bosh is going to stay.

There are three people from Canada posting in this thread.

The math is quite simple.

We are going by what Bosh says about the city and how much he likes it up here as well as wanting to see improvement from the team...

Maybe it's false hope, but the people who think he will leave always come up with the same, "Toronto is syberia and cold" bull**** and have absolutely no clue with what goes on with the Toronto Raptors or even Chris Bosh for that matter.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

Just like when three or four people liked the Hedo signing.

I can't blame them though, I really can't.

Hedo signing was a mistake...

Dude has mailed it in and looks out of shape..

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

Good thing I like Hockey more then the NBA which is a complete ****ing joke of a league. Don't get me wrong I love my Craptors, but still the league is a joke pretty much only 2 teams will be challenging for the title for the next 2-4 years, too many teams not enough good ones. And how many have won in the last 15 years ?? 4 or 5?

Thanks for responding to Cebby. It seems everyone that says Bosh will leave or Toronto is a bad NBA city has no freakin' clue about things here. It's pretty pathetic really.

Oh and I agree with your next post about Hedo, the signing was a good one on paper but the guy is completely mail it in. I think it was after the Boston game where he said he's not getting enough touches. The guy has been getting a ton of chances with the ball but is doing diddly squat with it. He needs to own up to the fact that he's playing like hot garbage.

Re: Bosh to the Lakers?

Well Cebby is usually the leader of that clan lol...

I can't really blame people for thinking the way they do because the Raptors don't have a great history and have been losers, more than they have been winners.

But man, some people on this board are so out of the loop with what goes on in the day-to-day happenings of the Raptors it is not even funny. I don't expect them to follow them 24/7, but if you're gonna make comments because us Raptor fans, going by what Bosh has says, think he genuinely wants to stay, at least brush up on your facts and know a thing or two about the situation...lol

As far as the trash talking on Canada, well that's another discussion. A more valid point was what Born said.

Anyway the Hedo signing was not good on paper. It was absolutely horrific on paper. Everyone outside of Toronto was already saying this the minute he inked the deal. Everyone knew the guy would mail it in after getting paid.

You might be right but you'd think a star caliber player in the NBA would at least try to prove his worth rather then just slack off just because he got a big contract. Now I wish the Trail Blazers had gotten him instead.

Oh well...
