Scene 1, Take 5: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">BOSH STILL PONDERING: Chris Bosh's agent says Bosh is closely monitoring the Raptors' situation as he evaluates whether he wants to sign a contract extension this summer or ultimately move to a new club. "I don't think anything can be viewed as definitive right now," the agent, Henry Thomas, said in a interview. It's been suggested Bosh could make more endorsement money in a big market in the U.S. Thomas said his client has deals in Toronto and is weighing new opportunities. "He's extremely popular up there," he said. "But it's not L.A., it's not Chicago, it's not New York."</div> Source
If Bosh does/doesn't decide to leave, I'll respect whatever choice he makes - was not his fault to be put in this kind of situation. Blame the organization, but I'm sure that he knows real well what the plan is for the future- it's up to BabCACK to figure out how to make this dude stay and he better try to do whatever the guy wants and not just blow a big one under pressure (vc deal).
im just waiting for babs to make a trade babs has to do some trades in order to get some solid players in return we have to keep bosh
Dec 15 is when signed free agents can be traded so i expect a move from the Raptors im just wondering what happened to the Rose-Penny rumor?

If any of you here have been around when Vince was approaching free agency, you know that such rumblings and articles are unavoidable. You just have to take all the rumours and speculations with a grain of salt.
same old story nobody like what the management has done so far the only guys that are OK with toronto's management is probably the rookies...since toronto gave them the money to play in the NBA...they are still in "happy to be playing in the NBA" mode (that's for now though...who knows about couple years later when the rookies' contracts are expiring...) you can't blame bosh for leaving toronto for a contender or for more money, because if you were him you probably would do the same (i would say 90%+ population) it's not like he owes toronto anything if you are a very good player..potential of being allstar, and you get constantly ignored of how good you are just because your team sucks, or when you have a solid game and your team still loses because they just don't know how to play consistently...how would you feel anyways, won't be surprised if bosh leaves i say if this become very evident by the day then we trade him for draft picks and good players like david west+speedy etc
Artest just demanded a trade i would love for us to trade for him how about a Mo-Pete+James+Aaron Williams+1st round pick for aRTEST and Tinsley?
Personally, I think Bosh stays for a variety of reasons. He's a different kid than most guys playing pro. He has something I like to call "integrity" Plus he'll get more money here -- always a bonus I have to believe that MLSE understands that if he goes, they might as well fold-up basketball ops. I would suggest that they drill him right between the eyes with a Max Money contract this summer and avoid the slings and arrows of having this story hovering around all off-season. It's pretty simple business, really Bosh doesn't strike me as a guy who'll be much different if he's making Max Bucks, in any event Have fun...............
I think Bosh will end up staying because I dont think he would want to leave and go to La where kobe will be taking all the shots. In Toronto he will get more money and 1 extra year which no other team can offer. So i see him staying in the long run.
Babcock knows what he's doing. He is surrounding Bosh with players he will be able to grow with (Villanueva, Calderon, Graham) and is also starting to surround him with quality teachers like Gene Keady. He says a chance of a trade or multiple trades happening is 50/50, and last time he said that he got rid of Rafer and brought back James. So let's hope that he can pull another bunny out of his hat sometime after Dec.15th!
