Raptors Privately Considering Trading Bosh

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Colin sounds like a rabid Cavs fan in that interview.

edit: just finished it...and i didnt hear Cowherd say anything about him hearing reports about Bosh to Cleveland

Box scores do not tell the whole story. He's one of the softest PF's in the league. He might as well be a black Dirk without the 3 range.

Out for 492 possible games in his career, he's only played in 439.

Do we have a defensive center that can bang in the paint? Bosh sure as hell won't spend any time there.

The next person that says Mo is a core member needs slapped. Core players don't shoot 30% in the playoffs.

So you're saying because he's only played 89% of possible games he's soft / an injury risk??

Just a few notable career games played numbers...do you consider these guys injury risks or soft players?

Kobe Bryant: 948 / 1066 = 89%
Carmelo Anthony: 445 / 492 = 90%
Tim Duncan: 899 / 984 = 91%
Kevin Garnett: 1055 / 1148 = 89%
Dennis Rodman: 911 / 1148 = 79%
 
You gotta love the way Delonte played this year, but if he's one of your top three guys you're not winning a championship (as Bill Simmons might say). Chris Bosh, on the other hand, could easily be the second best player on a championship team. I'd say Delonte can't be the one that breaks a deal for Bosh (which, btw, is a pipedream... but I enjoy it anyway).

And I know a lot of you think he's soft, but really, why does he need to bang? KG doesn't bang in the post as much as he used to (and probably will even less given his knee troubles) and being as physical as Andy sure as heck didn't help him guard Rashard Lewis. Bosh has the mobility necessary to guard a guy on the perimeter, and there aren't a whole lot of PFs that have a low-post game in the East. In fact, Philly is the only playoff team in the East that's starting PF has a strong low-post presence. What Bosh does defend well -- which was shown during the Olympics -- is the pick and roll. And what killed us more than the Hedo / Rashard p&r (except maybe the Hedo / Howard one)? With a guy like Bosh, then we don't have to worry about matching up on Lewis, and thus LeBron can guard Hedo. It would've seriously changed the complexion of the series. Delonte helped a ton, but really, having Bosh would've done a world more good than having Delonte did.
 
Did anyone hear this when it was actually on the radio? The podcast says nothing about reports of Bosh coming to Cleveland.

Yeah, I was listening on the radio right before I posted it to begin with. When Colin was talking about "reports". Part of the reason why I put the word "reports" in qoutes in the was he was about to go to a commerical break around 11:20-11:45am this morning right before he brought on, Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak. The part I was talking about isn't on this pod cast after listening to it. They cut a 4 hour radio show into a 30-60 minute pod cast which I think is where the discrepancy is at becuase they remove the cutaway to commericals which is when he said the word "reports".

Yeah from what I recall him saying he goes;

"I've heard rumors, no I've heard reports out of Toronto about Chris Bosh being traded, possibly to Cleveland"

It was something along those lines, not something I expected to hear since we haven't seen any offical reports of the same nature. All we have seen here from posts all over the board with articles is speculation which is why I was curious as well if any one could find a recording of the whole show since I couldn't this morning.
 
The Cow was really trying to get Bosh to say something concrete about wanting to go to Cleveland and was actually pushing for it..interesting..I didn't get the impression that something was brewing but more like Cow wants to see it..
 
Bosh guaranteed he's opting out in 2010. The Raptors have to be sweating now.
 
the idea of trading him doesn't seem so private any more does it?
 
If we could get him and LeBron to agree to sign extensions this summer, I'd make anyone else on the team available. I doubt we have the pieces they want.
 
Hard to see us getting this guy. I know he isnt going to sign a contract extension this summer with the Raptors, but he also stated he would like a Max Contract. Thats about 30 million dollars. If he wanted to play beside Lebron they both would have to take less money. Yeah, it would be great to have them play along side eachother obviously its a dynasty in the making. Bosh stated he would like to play with Wade. I just think having to sign him to a huge contract at the same time having to give up so much for him might be to much. Besides the Heat and Bulls have more to offer.

Sign and trade

I dont know where Bosh said "I wanna play with Wade!" but I'm pretty sure he'd like to play with James too, who is, y'know, the best player on the planet.
 
Agreed he would love to play with Lebron to obviously, but I read on NBA rumours the other day he said he would like to play with Wade.
