Sorry for my curt tone. But basically, if MLSE is unwilling to go above the tax, or only go slightly above it, then there is no real chance of heading to the ECF unless someone other than Bosh suddenly massively outperforms their contract (e.g., Demar morphing into Kobe next season, Bargs into the C version of Dirk.)
Dallas is spending 90 mil on their roster. Celtics 85 mil. Cavs 83 mil. Lakers 91 mil. Raptors spending 68 mil. So if MLSE is serious about competing, they will need to step their game up substantially. And Toronto is a far richer market than several of the above teams, so there is limited excuse for cheapness.
If they are unwilling to go above the tax, then it means they do not truly want to compete, so it doesn't really matter whether Bosh stays or not.
