![]() Article from Newsday where this writer's sources believes that Bosh is all but gone from Toronto.
![]() I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but after this past season with all of his "shameless" self promotion I can see Bosh wanting to take his show to an American market next. ![]() Quote:

![]() Don't forget the "great" economic climate we are in.
The way things are going (we are already in recession, depending on whom you believe), the revenues might be going down for a couple of seasons, resulting, among other things, in reduced max contracts teams are allowed to offer. If the drop is significant enough, noone would opt out of their current, more lucrative deals prematurely. |

Everyone asumes that if you play in Toronto that the first chance you get you'll leave.It all depends on what BC does in the next 18 months to improve this team.

I'm kind of a big deal.

![]() Gotta love that air of pessism that always seems to be looming over the fans. I have to admit that Toronto has been shafted enough times for them to have a nervous outlook when it comes to the loyalty of their star players.

![]() he says that Bosh would have a reason to leave, but he doesn't say which one ... I would be extremely interested to hear what particular reason would that be. Surely it cannot be success, since most teams with that much cap-space will probably suck.
The only reason other than success is the opportunity to play in a large market like NY. However, Lebron didn't go for it 3 years ago, so obviously it's not that much of an appeal to being with. I think these NY writers severely overvalue their city attraction - when was the last time a big star played there? The way I see it, chances Bosh will stay here. If he decides to leave, he will most likely part via a sign-and-trade, which will give him the max salary he wants, and us a shitload of good players in return. Frankly, I'm much more concerned with Bryan leaving at the end of his contract ... Now that would be a disaster for Toronto ... |

right now, things are getting better, so i see no reason for either bc or Bosh to leave. as you said, the only reason i could see Bosh leaving is for a bigger basketball market. i'm pretty optimistic that he'll stay. with bc at the helms, things should just keep getting better. and we know that Bosh just wanna succeed and be in a winning environment. and he's got that here. i gotta say that i actually am a fan of Bosh now after this offseason. he's improved as a player and has welcomed the leadership role. and his personality has come out. great guy! id miss him if he leaves. probably more than vc leaving and thats saying a lot for me. |
