Bosh Will Re-Sign with Raptors
- Thread starter Brookstone
- Start date
If this is true then this is great for the Raps. Bosh is a class act for staying loyal to the organization that drafted him and giving them a shot to put together a winning team around him. He could have easily waited another year to see what would play out and then make a decision.
yes, well said brownie. Some others probably would've bolted out of here when given a chance. Bad team, being in canada and other factors. Smart for him to see they have something good building here.
Other teams can't offer him as much money, and the Raptors can offer him an additional year on his contract.hammertm said:That's what i love about the max contract.He really has no incentive to go elsewhere.
What bothered me about Mike James this year was all the times he attempted three point shots when all of his teammates were behind him on the floor. If he didn't make the shot, the Raps had 0% chance at the rebound.
It looks like Washington's Brandon Roy should be available in the draft when the Raptors get their first round pick, (unless they win the draft lottery, and have a shot at LaMarcus Aldridge or Tyrus Thomas). Roy could fill James' spot, and leave enough money under the cap for a free agent like Speedy Claxton, who would be a good fit as a true point. I wouldn't rule out the Raptors packaging their first pick with some ballast like Araujo & Eric Williams to the Bucks for Jamaal Magloire, either.
Well...
...there is the opportunity to win.
I mean, when is the last time the Raptors have had a winning season, let alone been a contender for anything (Championship? No..I mean like a division title or to get past the first round of the playoffs)?
I'm always suspect of athletes who make their decision based on (relatively small differences in) money.
Good for the Raptors though....
