Dlee, JJ and Wilson for Bosh. OR do we make a run for Bynum for Lee and JJ?

OMG, who fills the void if we move Wilson? Lebron!!!!!

Bosh to the Lakers for Bynum is good biz for both teams. Lakes steal another player and Toronto gets some decent value for him. What does the Rockets have for Bosh other than McGrady who expires?

Game of chicken.

Bosh can decline any deal by refusing to resign thus dictating his destination if he chooses. He says NY, then Toronto can walk away with a pretty good package. Its a big price to pay, but quality costs.

Lol, you would say something like that. Truth is, Bosh is counting the days 'till he leaves Detroit, North. Cry Now...

BTW, I thought this was a reported rumor, not old ass Nalod muttering to himself again...

bosh leaving toronto is a pick 'em but i personally think he'll leave. but no player (outside of possibly lebron) is going to pass up the extra $30 mil. nobody. so he either stays a raptor or is gone via sign and trade. whatever the case, even tho he's a great player, i'm not a huge fan so i won't miss him that much. and from his perspective, if he leaves toronto, then it has nothing to do with basketball unless he goes to join wade or lebron. no other team can offer him what the raptors can. (and i'm not just talking about contract).

lol...the orange & blue blood transfusion was completed in 2007...i now pump raptor red and purple blood in my veins.

I am of the same opinion as you. The reason Lee has a veto is because his Bird Rights would be lost in that trade (whereas if he simply signs and trades to a new team, he can still get that 6th year on the contract).

suprisingly...yes. to the point where i hope the knicks get lebron so i can really rally around the already underdog raptors.

I think a pairing with Yao Ming offers Bosh quite a bit from a basketball standpoint.

Why not? Ming plays close to the hoop while Bosh shoots his sissy-jumpers from about 15-18 feet!

as long as the ball goes in the hoop, does it really matter? D Lee's been shooting his sissy jumpers to Allstar consideration this year & helping us win ballgames.
