I’m not one to perpetuate rumours, but it looks like a deal has been made for Chris Bosh.
Rich Bucher of ESPN is reporting that a sign and trade with Miami is a done deal:
To Miami
Chris Bosh
Jose Calderon
To Toronto
Mario Chalmers
2 x 1st round picks
Trade exception (around $24mill or so if my math is right)
Normally, this would go into the bucket with all the other crap, but Chris Bosh just tweeted:
Today is GREAT day!
So while I’m in the camp for keeping Bosh in Toronto, this trade makes some sense on a few levels:
- Mario would be a great back-up to Jack
- Hedo would become the sole creator on offense
- I am trying to get this checked out, but the Raptors could go out get a David Lee or Carlos Boozer while also keeping the trade exception (who know’s, we could make a play for Chris Paul…just a thought)
- a $24mill (or so) trade exception
So we will see shortly if this deal goes through or not, but if it does, you can bet that there will be more to come from BryCo in the coming weeks.
