Raptors Unhappy With Chris Bosh

By: Tyler Ward

Well, the Raptors may have officially moved on without their franchise player, Chris Bosh. Toronto has expressed displeasure in Bosh and the way he has conducted his free agency decisions.

With Toronto losing interest, it will become harder for them to pull the trigger on a sign-and-trade deal. The Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, and Cleveland Cavaliers have all submitted proposals to the Raptors, but none of the offers have excited Toronto. So, Bosh may be on his own for the rest of free agency because as the days wear on, the Raptors are becoming more and more mad at Bosh.

The Raptors brass have become displeased with Bosh's Twitter account. Leading up to free agency, Bosh wrote on his Twitter about his soon-to-be visits. The Raptors' change of heart can perhaps damage Bosh's chances of landing somewhere that can offer him a max contract like the Clippers, Bulls, Heat, Nets, and Knicks.

Bosh and his agent, Henry Thomas, have met with Houston, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Miami, and New Jersey over the last three days. Although Bosh hasn't said that he is officially gone, it is almost guaranteed that he will not be in a Raptors uniform next season. 

There is still a slight chance that Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James team up, whether it be Chicago, Miami, or somewhere else, but it will probably be one of those teams. Bosh has already publically stated that he doesn't want to go somewhere where he would just be considered an "upgrade". He wants to go to a place where he can be the marquee name and the best player on the team. As of right now, no one knows where any of these players will end up, but for Bosh, it will certainly not be in Toronto.
