Bosh Asks Twitter Fans To Help Make Decision
More Raptors News
Chris Bosh posted two messages to his almost 96,000 followers Friday night, ending a week of silence with a post that read: "Been wanting to ask. Where should I go next season and why?"
About an hour later, Bosh posted a second message that read: "Ok... Let me rephrase the question. Should I stay or should I go?"
It has been reported that Bosh and the Raptors will work towards a sign-and-trade deal should he choose to sign elsewhere.
really does sound like he's made his mind up but then remembered he's still a Raptor so had to say the right thing. It's the sign and trade part that interests me most though
Would he want to come here? Not without a team sale. But lets entertain the idea. What could we offer the Raps in a sign and trade?
Bosh Gone?

We would have to give up a lot. I know for sure that Beans would need to be included in the deal because any deal that they make for Bosh will need to include a rebounding/defensive center, and they would move Bargnani to PF. After that we would probably be asked to include talented young (Randolph, Curry, Buike and to a lesser extent maybe Wright) and probably one of our three best players (Monta, Maggette and again Curry).
But Bosh won't want to come here. If he leaves Toronto it would be to win a championship, and probably to a team that has at least one proven star already there. In addition to that, I highly doubt that we could offer the best possible combination of a big man, a highly talented young player/first round pick plus probably one more starter for Bosh. Though we might be able to come close.

Hopefully the Raptors Front Office buy into Montas inflated stats and dont read that espn article on ALL BALLHOG Team.
That would be fkn amazing. Omg. That would like literally redeem the Warriors for the last 20 years [take away 2ish] of stupidity. They would want Anthony Randolph though, I'd be more then happy to give Biedrins/Monta/Randolph though. Better get someone back....
Biedrins
Monta
Randolph

Yea, we'd have to give up alot, but AB should go while getting back a star big.
I've said that I don't like Bosh's relative lack of defense and by that I mean he is not much of shotblocker. He is very good at pretty much everything else, though I also think he is more of a midrange shooter than inside player. For AB, Azu and BW, I'd do it, and if BW did ever become starting PF material (very unlikely), that'd be three starters the Raps get in that trade. For AB and Monta, heck I'd still do it, but I'd actually rather have MGasol/BLopez/Love/AJefferson,as crazy as that sounds and the main reason is that their all cheaper, as they should be, and they rebound more and shotblock more, but that's just me.

I think so as well, but the team does have Curry and alot of yuoth that should only get better. With Bosh, keeping AR, the team looks set inside, being very athletic and skilled. With the lottery pick, maybe a very good SG could be had or maybe traded for, giving the team a set starting five, with Maggette SF to go along with Curry, the atained SG, AR and Bosh
