it's Stephen A. Smith, it's probably not true
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reports that Chris Bosh has informed the Raptors that he "has no desire to remain in Toronto."
With losses piling up in Toronto it's inevitable that trade rumors will circulate as we near the February 19th trade deadline. Smith didn't mention his sources and we're remaining skeptical until the Raptors beat writers weigh in.

If you watched the game earlier vs. Orlando...you will noticed how uncomfortable Bosh was.

Why is that such a surprise? No good player EVER stays in toronto. Why would you want to anyways?
If I were Mark Cuban and the Mavericks, I'd make a serious pitch for a trade involving Dirk for Bosh.
It would probably be the best offer the Raptors would get.
This really shouldnt come to a surprise to those who have followed Bosh in Toronto.
Chris Bosh has spoken:
http://www.thestar.com/article/581034
Chris Bosh couldn't have been more emphatic in shooting down an ESPN report that said he'd already told Raptors president and general manager that he wouldn't re-sign in Toronto when he contract expires in 2010.
"No. No. No, I haven't told him that," Bosh said today after practice.
And just to add another layer of denial, he was asked whether his agent could have made the statement.
"No," he said.
The apparently non-issue arose Sunday when ESPN entertainer Stephen A. Smith boldly stated that the 24-year-old Bosh had told team officials he was leaving in a season and a half, not even citing anonymous sources.
It brought a quick denial today from both Bosh and Colangelo.
"It was a surprise to me and I can't be responsible for what other people say so ...," said Bosh, his voice trailing off in disgust. "I understand people are en led to an opinion but making stuff up? We can't do that.
"Let's all be fair."
Colangelo also shot down another part of the report that suggested the Raptors might be amenable to trading the four-time all-star.
"There's no truth to the rumour or the speculation that he said anything to us in the organization, that he's going to be leaving," said the general manager. "There's no truth to the fact that he's on the trading block or being shopped in any regard.
"This is just another example of information that's out there that's not true ... There just doesn't seem to a lot of accountability with respect to the topic sometimes and that's why we're here today talking about it."
Bosh is one of a group of highly coveted 2010 free agents, a group that includes LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Speculation has been rife for months about his future, and will continue without doubt.
"It doesn't make me angry, it's like, 'come on, man,'" said Bosh. "I think it's unfair just to be able to say something and we have to be politically correct. It's tough, it's not the first time it's happened and it won't be the lat and I'm not the first person this has happened to. That's the business that we're in."
HOWEVA, Stephen A Smith has a habit of making stories up.
I knew S.A.S was full of when he said in November that Lebron was already a done deal in New York. I think he is the guy that nobody likes so all the insiders give him bad information so he can shoot his career to the ground. I mean all his stories make headlines, and most all of them are wrong. I don't understand why ESPN doesn't get rid of him
Stephen A. Smith: I make up to mind other teams' fans.
I love how on Sportscenter, rather than admit he was wrong, he just called Bosh and Lebron liars.
I strongly dislike Smith.
I'm gonna break a world record.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
