You're very correct in that if Bosh is deadset on a destination that BC has his hands tied. But the reality of the situation is that Bosh is likely going to say (or has already said given the "list" rumour) "These are teams I'm open to be traded to". And because of this BC has flexibility in which offer he is taking, and the offers have to remain competitive.
It's basically a bidding war on what teams want to offer. They may not offer much, but it's up to BC to choose the best offer. If they all offer trade exceptions, then BC will pick a team that's as far from the Raptors' division as possible.
EDIT: And as for your last comment... where'd you get that? The Suns almost did a deal of Amare Stoudamire for Shane Battier + MULTIPLE picks. Twill + TPE is nowhere near that ballpark. And now that they got all the way to the finals, the Suns may want even more or they'll just give Amare the max if they can't find a good deal.
And sorry, I don'st see how it's clear to you that I am only choosing one of the three sides to understand. If New Jersey is offering me a trade exception and so is Chicago, then fuck New Jersey I play them 4 times a year! New Jersey would have to sweeten the pot or risk losing Bosh. If they have Amare lined up that's fine, but Amare and Bosh's trade value is similar, so it basically came down to who they think is the better fit next to Brook Lopez.
