Alot of fans are dreaming about a great deal that would benefit Toronto but in the end I think we are going to get pretty much next to squat. I think it will come down to a game of chess between Colangelo and Bosh (agent) and will go something like this:
Bosh: I want to go to Miami BC, so lets do this sign and trade thing.
BC: hold on Bosh not so fast, the thing is that Miami hasn't offered us much but mediocre players with long contracts and they haven't even included Beasley or 1st round picks in the deal. I might have to pass on this one.
Bosh: BUT I WANT TO GO TO MIAMI.
BC: but I will get almost nothing...
Bosh: Ok i'm tired of this so you got two choices: Either I sign with Miami without a sign and trade and you get nothing or you do a sign and trade and you get something, got that?!
BC: damn it!!!
Q: Will Toronto’s insistence on a sign and trade ruin our chances of getting Bosh? Can it work out in Miami’s favor? — Kevin.
A: It has nothing to do with what Toronto wants. The Heat simply can sign Bosh into its cap space. Bosh then can go back to the Raptors and say, “I’m going to the Heat, but I can earn more if you want to get something back in a sign and trade.” What the Raptors want has absolutely nothing to do with the process. It’s what Bosh wants. Bryan Colangelo is Bosh’s pawn right now, nothing more.
