OK the Toronto Raptors don’t know what they want and its similar to a celebrity hook-up. One minute the Raptors say they have “no intention” of trading Chris Bosh for roughly a month and a half. Now, they are saying they would like to sign Bosh and then trade him. Make up your mind! It’s really not that hard to figure out because its like this: Toronto, you either WANT him or you DO NOT want him. The answer to the question is a yes or no type of deal.
The Raptors are looking for some sort of compensation for their efforts of trading Bosh to one of many teams up on the list. Looks like Chris Bosh would love to get with a contending team but he isn’t about to kick and scream to let his current organization know he wants out. In my opinion, he should at least be more aggressive and be up front about it. If he does that, hopefully he will land with a solid championship caliber team this next season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking hard into New Jersey Nets Shooting Guard Vince Carter. Vince Carter has been in the dumps ever since Jason Kidd skipped town for Dallas. Oh look how that trade turned out! Devin Harris made his first NBA All-Star Appearence after the trade to New Jersey. This has vastly had an impact on how Vince Carter plays basketball. He has been yurning for a championship because thats the type of player he is. I have always felt bad for him. I see it as he has been “stuck” in New Jersey and he deserves better than what he is receiving.
I believe the Cavaliers can give that championship feeling when he teams up with LeBron James. Some of you might ask the following: Who would Cleveland give to New Jersey for Carter? The answer is Sasha Pavlovic and Ben Wallace. These are the same two guys they are looking to give up in the Shaq O’Neal deal. That begs the question: Can the Cavs snag both Carter and O’Neal or will they have to settle for just one of the two? Its hard for me to say this but the Cavs NEED a better big man to intimidate lane penetators and O’Neal can do that for the cavs. At the same time, Lebron James needs more lane penetrators on the team for the offense. Yes, Mo Williams is great with LeBron but Vince Carter would really leave teams searching for an answer on who to guard. Who will end up in Cleveland?

Hey Dude, in regards to your comment about BC flip flopping on Bosh trade, I think your missing the mark a bit. BC has said he won’t panic and trade Bosh “for a bad deal”, “this summer”.
The reason being is because even if in 2010 Bosh wants to leave, he can be signed by the Raps and then traded where he wants to go so that he gets the most money possible, as the Raps can offer the most, and the Raptors receive some compensation in return, and another year to try to convince bosh to stay. So when you read statements like we are not going to panic and trade Chris Bosh, it refers to this summer. When you read BC wants to Sign and Trade, it means, if Bosh does decide to leave at end of next season, we will sing and trade then, as opposed to trading him now.
I actually just see this as a way to try to drive up offer before the from teams who think the Raps are behind the eight ball.

Yeah most of what is coming from BC (According to RealGM) is referring to this summer. I know Bosh and the Raptors organization do not want a bad deal altogether. I just envision Bosh getting what he wants in the end and the Raptors getting something good in return.This is so that you don’t end up like the Memphis Grizzlies in the Pau Gasol trade. No one wants that!

If yo actually read the article about Bosh, you would see that the Raptors do not want to trade him. All they said is that if he made it clear he didn’t want to resign in Toronto, it would be most beneficial to Bosh to do a sign and trade since the Raptors have the ability to offer him a 6 year deal worth about 30 million more than any other team is allowed to offer.

The Raptors are like teenage girls. They don’t know whether they want a steady relationship or they just wanna fuck around. They can’t make up their mind.

I know VC asked to be traded… but when I said stuck I was talking about the past 2 or 3 seasons where NJ has been going nowhere.
