Doc Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 It is looking more and more unlikely that Chris Bosh will leave the Raptors as a free agent next summer. "But I love Toronto. And Toronto loves me." The Raptors would love to keep Bosh, who they could give an extension in the next week. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60592/20090715/bosh_i_love_toronto_and_toronto_loves_me/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 He says that now but when all of his buddies like Wade and LeBron are getting big deals he'll probably want one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The bottom line is whether or not the Raptors are able to win enough games not only in the regular season, but the playoffs as well to show Bosh that it would be worth signing a long term extension with the team.

Check my Stats Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Not interested in what he is saying, more interested in what he is doing. Signing an extension and improving his post defense would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing an extension and improving his post defense would be nice. Do you mean something like this? Listen as Bosh talks about the Raptors becoming a power in the East. "We have to play well. Last year, we got ahead of ourselves with our expectations," Bosh said. "We can talk about the Raptors getting better and new players coming to the team. "Well, I know we can get better at the starting 4 position. And that's me. That's why I'm working hard this summer on all parts of my game." Bosh said he wasn't able to do so a year ago, when his Olympic commitment eliminated practice time. But winning gold for Team USA refueled the appetite he developed during Lincoln's magical 40-0 "national championship" season. "We all want to win," he said." We don't want to just be in this game to say, 'Well, I played in the league.' "You want people to remember you. And you want it to be for championships."

Check my Stats Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ehhh, yeah I read that, but it seems everyone is "hard at work" on their game. Bosh has been basically the same player for the past few years, I'd be surprised, and excited, if he improved at all. I'd like to see his passing game improve, finding the open guy when he is driving, be a bit less of a black hole kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just want him to be stronger and not settle for jump shots. Yes he can shoot, but id rather him in the post more. Theres too many finesse players on the raps, we need a big body to bang into people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
