Maybe Bosh is not a top tier player- Maybe. How many teams have top tier players. Or asked another way, in the 15 year existence of the Raptors, how many top tier players have we had. If you are planning on trading Bosh, what are you betting on? Do you think Bargnani will be better? not saying he won't, but at this point in his career is there any evidence? Do you think the trade assets we get back will make us any better. We are not getting Lebron an even if we did, by time we traded to get him, we'd be back in the hole of not having enough talent to put around him. One observation I made about this years Raptors. They had absolutely no bench. It wasn't what Bosh didn't do that was the problem While I like Brown’s reasoning on trading Bosh, most arguments I’ve heard seem ridiculous.

Raps fans don't deserve an all star after the way they keep treating their stars after a let down season. He's not all to blame! It wasn't vince, t-mac or bosh that was the problem... it was the support. Bosh deserves better, get him out of there. pronto. Give him to the nets so he can be back with his boy VC, Blur and B-Lo... that's gonna be something to be feared in Jersey =) oh my… flashes of Vince Carter hate are in my head again… toronto sucks. let go of Bosh he’s better suited in another team.

People here were like '20 and 10, bitch! That is a star!'. Hmmm... To them, now, I say: LOL! This got me thinking:

That was a shock to everyone in the NBA. . . They waren't suppose to win that many games and kinda messed up the rebuild phase. . . Basketball fans will know the true reason toronto sucks is because the way vince carter was dealt with. . . We got jack in return for him and that messed up the franchise. . . Colangelo won't let that happen with bosh and im sure the owners made that clear. . . Yes toronto needs 2 or a 3 but i think it'll all depend on the first 20 games of the seaon, how raptors fair off. . . If they come out HOT which i doubt, then expect things to change. . . But if they come out good and not bad, expect colangelo to make a move for bosh. . . If im the raptors general manager, I would try to trade bosh for a guy like Griffen, and take a bad contract if need may be. . . And next year not focuss on making the playoffs, trade calderon for a draft pick and next year tank so the target could be john wall! You know when the raptors won 47 games. . .

We have shooters, and we have marion, now lets get someone who can do both and help score. The screwface capital ain't never happy! Torontos just mad the Raptors are STILL better than the leafs.

I don't know who Toronto would want but I think a sign and trade of Sheed, and their choice between Prince or Rip could work with salaries. Toronto would then have the two best 3 point shooting centers in the league! Trade him to the Pistons!
