They got Miami's pick, which they traded for James Johnsons to Chicago, who was then traded for a 2nd round pick.
The Raps didn't get JV from their pick being returned. It was lottery protected, so what they have gotten back so far is 2 2nd round picks (which they would have lost to Miami due to the lottery protection).2010-07-10 Raptors 2011 first round pick (#5-Jonas Valanciunas), 2011 first round pick (lottery protected in 2011, else cash) (#28 Norris Cole), $4.2M trade exception Chris Bosh trade with Heat

And that decision didn't turn out great. But I have no problem with making a decision that turns out badly if the choice was sensible at the time. Trading an all-star away in his prime is not usually a good move, unless you get a package like Utah or Denver got. I doubt anything remotely like that was ever on the table for Bosh.
Your point about some assets appreciating over time is a perfectly good one. Not too many of Colangelo's pickups seem to have appreciated much: Amir Johnson is maybe the biggest exception. But it is disappointing that Bayless and Johnson didn't turn out to be much. Disappointing, but not super surprising: Colangelo got them for peanuts, and there was never much chance of them being huge contributors.
Now you may have no problem with a decision you see as sensible at the time, but I'd say I have a problem with a decision I don't see as sensible at the time. And there is no shortage of decisions different people though were insensible at the time.

As I said they did get their pick back, but it was lottery protected anyways and since the Raps were the 3rd worst team in the league that year it was not going to Miami. It was protected for 5 years, with Miami getting a 2nd round pick. So had the Bosh sign and trade not happened, the Raps would have still been able to draft Jonas.
The deal also calls for Toronto to get the league's maximum allowed in cash considerations ($3 million) and for the Heat to land a conditional first-round pick to come sometime between 2010 and 2015. It's lottery-protected, essentially meaning the first time the Raptors make the playoffs after this season, their first-rounder goes to Miami.
If Miami does not get that first-round pick in 2010, it will get an additional second-round pick that year.

Bosh, coincidentally, got injured the last month of regular season. The Raptors struggled and lost out to the Bulls the last game of the season. That's all she wrote. I can't blame the GM too much since it was a matter of deciding between rebuilding or staying in contention -- midway through the season, where the Raptors were very much alive in the playoff hunt.
It was a gamble and he lost; partly because of misjudgment and partly because of fate.“I don’t create controversies. They’re there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.”

So you're saying we should've kept JJ, not sign Fields and gotten Thabo instead (who I believe is not on the trading block)? How can we calculate the payroll if you're suggesting a line-up of only 5 players??? That is indeed intriguing.
this is exactly how competitive teams are built, not by paying nash and fields a total of close to 60 mil over 3 years!!!

Regardless, I don't believe there is any way for the Raps to regain either the full MLE or the Barbosa TPE - I believe they permanently lost both as soon as the Fields signing was finalized.@RavNation

Maybe signing Nash and Fields was not a good idea, but trading for Johnson certainly wasn't.

JJ is a dam good player and who said he went 29th overall, he went 16th...why ppl hating on his offensive game? what u wanna see? lebron james style dunk, 3 pointers from halfcourt, jump from the free line throw all day...is that consider good offense to ppl when they talkign about how he lacked offensively. JJ had greattttt Defense and GOOD offense dont know what you all talkign about...wayy better than Linas Klieza, mr. brickcity european player who fell on his ass when he was trying to do some post moves. If Klieza could play for the raptors like how he played for Denver then I wouldn't care bout JJ but this is a BADDDDD TRADE.BC just trying to look busy so he dont lose his job, JJ is gona kill the raptors when they play the kings.
