    Quote:

    The Raptors are privately acknowledging for the first time that they might need to trade Chris Bosh, rather than risk losing him to free agency in 2010, according to a report from the New York Daily News.

    The Bulls remain interested in Bosh, but Luol Deng would have to be part of a package going to the Raptors.

    Bosh could also end up in Detroit in a package that would net the Raptors Carlos Boozer, according to the report.

    Cool. Bosh to Detroit and that fat-headed sea-lion headed for the East. I like this.

    "Private" huh?

    If the Raptors move Bosh and sign Boozer long-term, that would be a huge mistake. I doubt he would go there unless they paid him a lot more than anyone else offers.

    my original quote was from Real GM who got it from NY daily news. Here's the quote from NY Daily News:

    • Although Carlos Boozer could be headed to Detroit in a free-agent deal in July, there's a chance he'll end up going to Toronto in a package for Chris Bosh. The Bulls remain interested in Bosh, but Luol Deng would have to be part of a package going to the Raptors. The Raptors, privately, are acknowledging for the first time that they might need to trade Bosh, rather than risk losing him to free agency in 2010.

    I agree I doubt this will happen. Bosh might get traded, but Boozer is not going to be th guy to replace him, well I hope not...

    Has Bosh reached his ceiling?

    sorry that was totally off topic. i just get annoyed by that man.

    anyways, bosh may have reached his ceiling, but 22pts 10 rebs 1 block 1 steal while being pretty good from the line and the occasional 3 aint bad. he's consistenly put up these #'s the last few seasons.

    Well, I am very familiar with SAS. I just recall him reporting something of this nature and getting flamed as a result of it, that's all.

    I have no idea if it can be done or not but ever since Cleveland went down 3-1 to Orlando I keep getting a feeling Bosh will end up in Cleveland next season.

    It's only fair that Lebron get his sidekick for free since Kobe got his last season.

    Is it me or do star players don't want to stick around Toronto and/or not want to get traded there? Something against living and playing in Canada, or higher taxes perhaps? If so, it kind of sucks.

    True, no reason the NBA can't rape and pillage another small market for the benefit of the superstar.

    Hell why we're at it, the nba needs to get rid of the last few expansion teams. Get rid of Toronto, Memphis, Charlotte and OK city and make the rest of the teams more talented. That would also help drive down the ridiculous salaries these pre-maddonas demand.

    Yes. Jermaine O'Neal v2.0

    And Boo$er would never sign with Detroit if he thinks there's a chance he'd be traded 7 months later.

    What I'm interested to see is if Utah is at all willing to participate in a S&T.

    Toronto is NOT a small market.......Jeeez you really need to look at the figures. Silly post.


    I agree with those that say Bosh has reached his ceiling, I don't see him getting much better. Bargnani has a higher ceiling than this guy.

    It could be the higher taxes. All I know is the canadian fanbase has one team and they aren't even that passionate about it, let alone basketball in general. It's pretty much the country that no one wants to go to unless it's for the first 5-6 years for a nice bucket of cash.

    It is not higher taxes....there are ways around it. We are a passionate fanbase, when we have a winning team we are usually up there in attendance (top 5). Thing is its a younger generation that's into basketball, and its huge.....look at Realgm, we have the most active fans.....all this team needs is time and good mgm....we've got to give a reason to the younger crowd to spend its money on the basketball team.

    Bosh needs a fresh start with another team. A move would probably change his game and given the drive to play like an all-star again.

    My mistake, I was basing all of it off of it being Canada. Retraction.
