And I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if Bosh leaves, next year IS a failed season. There's not all that much the Raptors brass can do to stop that. If it's a difference between 20 wins and 30 wins next season, I'd take 20 and a higher draft pick. If you're going to rebuild, then you might as well try and get the best young talent you can. Which is why you'd want to get as much young talent as you can for Bosh.
And I'm not quite sure what you expect the Raptors to do with $14 million in cap space. Next season, the majority of teams are going to have cap room, and I'm guessing Toronto is going to be low on most player's list of teams they want to go. Unless you want to overpay, again. Although it didn't work out all that great with Turkoglu, did it?
No, the smart thing is to try and get young players who can either be the future of the team, or be an asset that will increase in value (unlike guys over 30). That way you aren't starting completely from scratch.
