Don't often agree with Moon but he's right. The only thing Lebron did wrong was the stupid Decison and Chris Bosh tweeting like a 6 year old. They made it easy to hate them. But they all played out their contracts and signed with a team.
The one thing I hate is that this will bring up that awful argument that athletes don't want to play in Toronto. No....athletes don't want to play for bad teams. Chris Bosh stays if the Raptors had given him anything resembling talent around him. The athletes who have played in Toronto love it here and players will still play in this city. It's a pretty tough sell for Steve Nash to come to Toronto and play in what could be an incredibly tough division, with almost no shot at a title. Steve Nash battled every year for Phoenix and put his heart and soul on the line for that team. He didn't turn his free agency into a big thing, he signed on to be the GM of Canada basketball and it sounds like a big part of signing with the Lakers was to be close to his children. Steve Nash deserves no blame or hate for what he did.
I'm still a huge Raptors fan and even more so now that I live in Toronto. I'll support them and still think they can make the playoffs next year. I don't see why in the world they are still actively pursuing a point guard with Bayless and Calderon.
