Raptors GM: Bosh milked injuries, gave up on Toronto

Also, Toronto did a horrible job building around Bosh. Drafting Charlie V and Bargs who are also face up 4s.  Draftin Araujo and not Iggy, Al jeff or Biedrins. Joey Graham instead of Danny Granger. It's almost as if Colangelo never wanted him.

  Unrelated, but it's funny to read posts like this after you've read posts raking Danny over the coals because of "blown" second round picks.

  It was easy for Toronto to verify that Bosh was dogging it. They just had to compare video of his play to anything they have from Vince Carter's last year on the team.

What's up with the lack of professionalism and class among NBA execs?

It goes both ways, but both the players and execs need to step up and both be more professional.

This was Coangelo's point. Bosh was difficult to build around. Of course he was. Maybe he just isn't good enough to build around if you want to be more than a low seed playoff team.

He's hard to build around if you're a bad evaluator of talent.

Colangelo is just covering his rear end. He is in damage control mode.

The media has started to turn on him and the number of disenchanted Raptors fans are growing with each passing season. It won't be long until his job is in danger.

Exactly right.  This guy has been screwing up left and right.  He's just trying to swing the fans behind him like Gilbert did.  Both screwed up and are trying to keep a good image.

Also right on.  Their big pick was Bargs who, despite what they try to say, is NOT a C.  Bosh was forced to play C for that team and he is not one.  It'd be tough to be the only guy on a team who even wants to mix it up in the paint.  If they cared and were smart about building around him they would have gone after a better PG, which he would benefit greatly from, and a real C.



Chris Bosh for the last couple years came out like a mad man, like player of the month stats and in the race for MVP, but he would always slow some (while still being 20/10). It's not really possible or easy to carry a team as a PF.  You could see the will drain from him as the season went on, and that Toronto team was so soft.  I think you will see a more comfortable and fiery Bosh in Miami now that he has something to play for.

Watch how bad Toronto is now.  It will be a joke.

Sounds like a case of VC-itis.  Does anyone NOT give up on Toronto?

TP but the difference is the C's made LeBron quit with our defense and toughness.  Both are quitters though!
