Hal Johnson Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/645658Good riddance, IMO. Only ever dominated shitty teams. Over-hyped to the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, because that other guy they got playing behind him is a monster! (got nothing, just killing time).I like Bosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 That's true, they don't have much in the way of replacement value. That kinda blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) The Raps have imo always overpayed their players in order to get them to Canada. We've been stuck with one star rosters because of the costs while teams like LA, Denver, Dallas, or even Miami can attract some guys willing to take a pay cut to be on the team... look at Boston, vets knew they had a good chance and took a cut in order to get that championship. As long as Raps stars are openly concerned with their business future the fans wont get behind them and it'll stay impossible to attract players on the basis of it beng a great market regardless of Toronto's rep as a city. I think the best thing for the team right now would be to loose Bosh and build around a plan not a player, we can't keep players, but we can adapt strategies and tactics to our strengths... except on D... But, some guys can learn to play better defense, we just can't put our eggs into baskets like Joey Graham and Anthony Parker, or go on forecasts of what Barg's can do instead of going on what he gives you consistently. nothing. 10pts 5 boards is a bench player, 15 pts is not a first option, and Bosh being a first option is a joke because then no one else sees the ball enough to get a rhythm... point being, let him go, spend the money on the deepest bench in the league. We'll never have a commited star until we've got a winning plan. Edited June 7, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thorgnor for coach of the year.Very valid points. Unfortunately the team needs that star player to draw the crowds or we will lose them. This isn't the Leafs we are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Also true... But, I think the Raps can survive three bad years, if you include the last one, before the franchise itself is in trouble. This ain't Van-city. Our merch still sells, even South of the border for some reason. If we let Bosh go after this upcoming season (09/10) and then go for depth we can be a surprise in the 10/11 season. Or we can be the same team in five years, still unable to get any backup because we blew our load on Bosh. that sounds gross, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
