Bosh S&T
I think Colangelo handled this situation incredibly well. Why should we agree to a sign and trade if we are taking back bad contracts or players who won't make us any better? Trade exceptions could be valuable, but seldom are. I'm sure if Bryan could get back picks or half decent players, he would make the deal.
The problem with this whole situation is that Bosh is not treating Toronto as a partner in the process, but rather wants to pretend he has all the power in the situation. The reality is, the Raptors have a seat at the table whether he likes it or not, because they hold the keys to an additional $30 million for him.
Many will say, it is not really $30 million, and he'll be able to sign an extension with Miami to recoup most of that money. What I say to that notion is... Look at Tracey McGrady. There are no guarantees that with Bosh's history of knee injuries, he is a player a team will be willing to invest $20million+ in 3 or 4 years from now.
I think it is Bosh who is being immature throughout this process, and very short sighted.
