Whats up fellas!

I ve been reading blogs on this site for two years but never posted anything…I am a avid laker fan and bball fan in general. Being a Canadian I also follow alot of the raps. Bosh is a very good player, but to me even if the raps could resign him to a long term deal I would not want him. Not because he doesnt put up the numbers, but because he doesnt win. How do you give a guy 125mil and they still wont make the playoffs or will barely sneak in. The raps are better off trading for some picks and decent players. Heres my suggestion. (ps.turkoglu is gone soon too, thank god!)

Bosh (throw in antoine wright if necessary) to Miami for

Beasley, Haslem, this years pick and 3 million cash.

The raps are owned by the ontario teachers associations as part of maple leaf sports. They dont ever want to go over the lux tax because that is an investment that teachers pension fund depends on,so thats y keeping bosh without adding other signifigant options is useless. Gms are scared of Beasley but thats why you can easily pry him from the heat. Beasley, as up and down on and off the court as hes been will improve alot (to at least 18 and 8) without wade taking shots from him and with turk on the way out he can play 3 or 4. Haslem is a great guy to have on any team even though hes undersized and with the pick they can see who falls to them or get risky and take a guy like stanley robinson (instant D) or willie warren (instant O, and a lotto pick last year).

If the raps can pull this off and get anything for turk they will be better this year than last year!!!!!!!

Haslem is a freeagent so he would have to agree to a s& t. He’s from Florida so good luck getting him to agree to come to Toronto. Even if that could be ironed out, Beasley isn’t the answer. The Raptors would be better off trading with the Lakers for Bynum and whatever cash you could talk the Lakers out of.

yeah i prefer the 2nd trade where we get a good big man in andrew bynum so we can shift andrea to his natural position as a PF…he would be better off playing there then playing against stronger opponents at C…if we can trade hedopoo for a decent player or then sign a sf or trade for one we could have a pretty good team..we gotta trade jose as well

jack
derozan/weems
sf
bargnani
bynum

Why Bynum? Bynum is known for his knee injury and we don’t want an injury prone centre.

The Raptors would benefit by sending Bosh to OKC for Jeff Green or Chicago for Noah.

[PurpleMonkeyDishwasherParticipant]

Toronto doesn’t have a lot of option… if Bosh says LA, that’s who they will have to deal with. Bynum has had some injuries but you guys don’t have any better choices.

i doubt that the bulls would trade Noah and with Green, his not a four he just need to play 4 with the Thunder cause they have Durant, unless you could find a taker in Hedo so that Green could play the 3 or even Beasley cause i think he is a bit undersized and would be better playing against SF rather than against PF.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about.

Bosh isnt this guy you think he is.

Every year around the 60th 70th game he gets injured.

He doesnt win.

Hes honestly extremely soft.

Let him go for young players, picks and cash.Toronto will be much better off.

Sorry Bosh I love you to death and your the best Raptor ever but after watching Pierce dunk on you like that and you just layed there like an asshole yous gots to go,

What kind of team identity team leader is that.

[Ch13f23Participant]

remember this torontoraptors4 your team doesn’t have a single power to demand a player from another team cause Bosh could easily sign with other teams with out a single player in return. You could only convince Bosh to do a S&T to a team he wants to go in exchange for whatever scraps the other team are sending to the raptors in exchange for Bosh. So having a Bynum in return is way much more better than receiving nothing or some scraps in return. And yes this is a LAKERS fan speaking.

[torontoraptors10Participant]

Bosh will definitely do a sign and trade because he will get a bigger paycheck that way. There is no doubt in my mind that Bosh will do a sign and trade. It’s best for him and for the Raptors because we’ll be getting pieces back.

[Ch13f23Participant]

but not as good as Bynum. Cause if Bosh wants to be a Lakers they could easily send Vujacic and Walton plus cash just to match players salaries. So having a Bynum in exchange for Bosh could definitely be more beneficial to your team cause his young and yes his injury prone but it would move back Bargnani to 4 which I think is his comfort zone cause his too soft to play 5. And the real question here is what kind of pieces are you getting in return, a rough diamond that needs to polished or some scraps and leftovers..

[nateoak10Participant]

Bosh for Deng, there 1st rounder, a protected first and James Johnson.

WHy does Tdot do it? Get any sort of value out of CB4 since he is basically gone

Why the Bulls do it? Cause it’s CB4…..

jeff green is a sf and the bulls love noah so that aint happening. plus green is a restricted free agent. also bynum put up 15 and 9 on a team with gasol and odom two very good rebounders and guys who control the ball, so imagine what he’ll do when hes the primary low post option on a team. he’ll easily put up bosh’s numbers from last year 23 and 11. not to mention bargianis shooting pecentage would improve also you automaticaly become a better defensive team down low.

[DaGuywhodidurmaParticipant]

first my bad on the double post. second, its pretty obvious bosh isnt a number one option on a team. how many of those guys are there? not many. but hes still a very good player, all he needs is some one to take those late game shots for gim or create a good opportunity for him to high percentage look at the basket.

[cindricParticipant]

Being a laker fan I dont want bosh in LA…my reasoning is that I think Bosh is like a less versitile version of Gasol (less passing ability). And I dont want to give Bosh a max contract as a Laker fan (no need to overpay for a player when you are a championship contender)…I could care less of the heat want to do it. I realize haslem is a free agent but what kind of money can he get in the top FA summer of all time…so for him to get a decent check he might have to go to Toronto.
