AboveLegit Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hahaha. That's pretty messed up, honestly.+1 But I guess after the Vince Carter saga a few years back, Toronto fans are used to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Does he probably know where he is going yet? Purely speculation on my part, but I believe he has known where he is going for a while now and all of the comments he has made over the past month have just been to draw attention to himself. I think it has been pretty much a done deal for him to go to Miami for a while now. I just don't see him not going to Miami considering he friendship with Wade, how well they would compliment each other and the fact that him and Wade have the same agent. There have just been too many signs pointing towards Miami to ignore, at least as far as I am concerned. I think I just held out hope that he may possibly stay in Toronto that I turned a blind eye to all of the signs. Well, that and because I desperately want to see Miami strike out in FA, which won't happen. The only way I think he won't go to Miami is if him and James pair up in Chicago, but even then, I can still see him signing in Miami instead of Chicago because of the city and the opportunities that they provide him with outside of basketball.

Built Ford Tough Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) +1 But I guess after the Vince Carter saga a few years back, Toronto fans are used to this. Call me crazy, but after all of the [expletive] that Bosh has pulled since the season ended, give me the Carter saga all over again. I know that Carter dogged it which completely shot his trade value, but at least he made his intentions clear and didn't lead the organization along and keep them guessing about what he was going to do. Carter wanted out and he let the Raptors know it. Bosh made it sound like he was committed to this team long term, and who knows, maybe he was up until these past two seasons (although this Tweet makes you doubt that) and then once this season finished, he basically washed his hands of everything to do with Toronto. If what Colangelo said the other day is true, he hasn't even had any communication with Bosh for a month now which just goes to show that Bosh probably had no intention of ever even considering the possibility of staying in Toronto. Don't get me wrong, Bosh has every right to want out of this team. They have had him for 7 years and the best player he has ever played with was TJ Ford. Their inability to surround him with any sort of talent wouldn't exactly make me want to re-sign with the team either. I just am getting fed up with the backhanded comments directed towards the organization. If you want to leave, go ahead, but at least leave classy. Is there really a need for these kinds of comments? I respect Bosh for everything that he has done for the Toronto Raptors franchise and without him the post VC days would've been absolutely terrible, but I really don't see the need to make these kinds of comments. If you want to say that you are excited for free agency, go right ahead, but why include that you have been looking forward to this day for "All these years"? EDIT: I'm not going to lie though, I laughed when I first saw that comment on his Twitter page.

Flight Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 That's cool that he's telling the fans he's gonna give his all and be a franchise player... I don't really know how good he's gonna be but I'd love to see him succeed, seems like a cool guy from most interviews. Man, Thursday morning I half expect to wake up and see that a few guys have already agreed to contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I just thought that I would point out that I don't necessarily think that Bosh's intentions were to diss the Raptors by posting this. I think he is just excited at the new possibilities that are ahead of him and he can't control his emotions. I think it is safe to say that I overreacted in my last post and was jumping to conclusions. By saying "After all these years" he could be refering to a number of things such as finally getting a max contract or something like that. However, with that said, Bosh may not mean for his words to mean something, but by saying that, whether it was subconcious or what, they clearly mean something. I think these comments were the final straw for me though. I've brushed off all of other ridiculous comments on Twitter and I think this one finally got me to the point where I was just sick of hearing about it, haha.

Sportsguy9695 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Hopefully he ends up with the Heat.im sure the Bulls will do fine this free agency period even if they dont land Bosh. But its still possible he might land there Edited June 30, 2010 by Sportsguy9695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
