Raptors are interested in a package deal that would involve Chris Bosh

[ducks]

Yes, Bosh to SA would never happen, unless the Spurs had cap space and could pluck him via FA.

I was speaking from a the worst case side of basketball impact for the next 2-3 years. The holes it would leave by trading Manu combined with the salary ramifications of signing Bosh and the inability to upgrade without significant luxury tax would make the deal tough.

But I agree that with regard to worst case (Manu being hurt and getting no extension or having Bosh for one year) that having more cap space and a better trading chip with Bosh would be better.

manu is going to cause a hole if he is not traded or hurt or him not resigning with the spurs for cheap


spurs atleast gain something even if they "rent bosh for one year"
if manu is not healthy spurs are in worse shape

If he does not sign with the Spurs for cheap, that would mean he is healthy. That would not be a hole, that would be the plan.

I would trade Manu for Bosh for the reasons discussed earlier in this thread.

But the bottom line is Toronto WOULD NOT make this trade. Bryan Colangelo is not Chris Wallace. If the Raptors are looking to trade Bosh, they can get much, much more than Manu. You all may as well be talking about trading for LeBron. It has the same chance of happening. Zero.

This. The other stuff was just hypothetical.
