The Official Toronto Raptors Thread: 2009-2010 Edition

[Lime]

It is unbelievable how wimpy and soft this Raptors squad is - A mosquito bite would be enough to hospitalize any one of them for months.

The Raps look like they have 3 games left of this "light stretch" (v MEM, @ NJ, v WSH) and I can see them winning 2 of those 3 games. But right after that is a four game stretch where they will likely lose all four games (POR, CLE, @ OKC, @ HOU), and that will probably cool off the hysteria surrounding this team right now.

Gee Lime, why do you even bother with this nonsensical negativity?

A great man once said: "The sun shines even on a dog's ass some days."

How's Guillermo Quiroz doing?

Soft and without defense of any kind is seemingly how Colangelo likes his teams.

[NorthernRyanExpress]

Snapped their losing streak tonight, now to just get Bosh back healthy.

So who's getting fired and where is Bosh playing next year?

Nobody and probably New York.

In a sign and trade, NY has all the leverage. So it doesn't really matter.

Gallinari...another WOP to play with Bargnani.

no they don't, specially since they traded all there picks and players away

Bosh can just sign with the Knicks for less money and the Raptors get nothing. Which might be the way it goes down if Toronto attempts to demand too much.

[Dontavian]

I suspect Bosh will do whatever he can to get that extra $20M or whatever it is. Personally, I'm not sure what the difference is between $120M and $140M, but he'll probably tell us he wants "security for his family". No family can be secure without that extra $20M.

its more like 100 to 140 million I think, and if he signs with NY, he'll be playing by himself

[Lime]

I can see Bosh going home to one of the three Texas teams, or to Cleveland or Miami to play with LeBron or Wade. I can't see him going to NY.

[Krylian]

Part of me wants Bosh to leave just cause I want the Raps organization to suffer the way they made their fans suffer this year.  I will laugh when he leaves.

Stupid floaters!

As for the offseason, I see Calderon and Bargnani being moved.  Don't know why...but I know we need more athleticism, grit, and defensive presence on this team...and those two don't bring it consistently...plus they both have some value.

[Tom]

Bosh can go.  They have done nothing in the 7 years he's been here, so why not start over?

Alternatively, if he's kept, ownership better damn well be willing to spend into the luxury tax or this team will never go anywhere.  Bosh is a key piece but he cannot be THE cornerstone of a franchise.  Not even Tim Duncan could do that, he needed others.

Houston might be able to fit him, but dallas is completely maxed out cap-wise. San Antonio is an interesting thought. Cleveland isnt going to happen. Miami might not even keep Wade.

I think that the most likely team is Toronto, at like 35%. then no other team is even at 10%
