I'm with Ziggy on this one. Until probably January I was thinking that Toronto had all the pieces in place that Bosh would basically sign. Now though, this team isn't winning, and after watching Bosh this year, I think he honestly just wants to win - it's not all about the money for the guy. IF he does go, which I seem to think he will now, Colangelo will have to work one hell of a deal out, because IMO, like I said earlier, it's not all about the money for Bosh, and he'll probably leave to a contender and take less money if it comes down to it in order to win. If this team is rebuilding, Jack and DeRozen are who you build around (though it's a little too early to build around DeRozen). Bargnani I'm still 100% sure, would yield a nice return given his "potential" and size (to some sucker GM who only looks at his stats and not his assertiveness). What's scary about this off-season are the quality guys on the Raps are FA's, and are sure to get substantial pay increases. How Toronto fits them under the cap with trying to re-sign Bosh, I don't know.
