Sam Mitchell Fired in Toronto

[Gold Chain]

I just don't see why a big star would want to play in Canada.

Well he isn't playing in his country. I highly doubt his family lives in Canada. I'm just saying. A big star would love to play in Cleveland with LeBron. It's a given if he resigns, a bunch of people will be lining up to sign with Cleveland.

I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with anything? Do you think he would see his family anymore in Ohio which is 1400 miles away from Houston then Toronto which is 1600 miles from Houston?

Maybe because Toronto is a top 5 market in North America, one of the best cities in the league, he gets paid more here. take your pick.

The only real reason I could see Toronto being at a disadvantage over American cities would be taxes, and weather. With Obama raising taxes on federal income tax in NBA players bracket Toronto goes from one of the worst tax situations, to about mid pack. Weather is about the same compared to a polace like Celveland, and the city itself is far better.

Well if lebron re-signs, we'll have him... and I'm pretty sure Bosh would pick Lebron over the entire city of Toronto. If Lebron stays in Cleveland, and we have the capspace, I would think Bosh is coming here- unless the Raps turn around their situation big time.

Coming from a dude who has clearly never been to Toronto.
You have no idea about Toronto and yes, I have been to Cleveland.
Wonder which city has the better nightlife for rich pro athletes?

Let me repeat since you clearly can't read. I didn't say anything bad about Toronto besides that they don't have Lebron. Do you need me to say it again?

And Bosh about playing with Lebron: "playing together would be kind of surreal." If Lebron re-signs and we have the Cap space, I think we are the favorite to land Bosh. If Lebron goes to NY and they still have space (Lee and Robinson have extensions coming) then they are probably the favorite for him. (Once again, this is unless Toronto is able to turn around their team big time.)

Toronto definately is a great city. Ive been there many times and love it.

Your basketball team on the other hand is not so great. It literally isnt anywhere close to the same league as the Cavs. If Bosh is anything like most players he prefers winning and winning multiple rings over living in a city such as Toronto over Cleveland. These guys will always find places to party, but there are only so many places they can go to win. Cleveland is one of those places.

I dont know what you're talking about. Lebron is essentially the only guy that seperates your team from being on the Raps level.

Switch Lebron and Bosh right now and i'm sure that an ignorant Toronto fan would also be saying, "Your basketball team on the other hand is not so great. It literally isnt anywhere close to the same league as the Raps"

Toronto basketball is something like Detroit Basketball was a couple years ago. Everyone in Canada watches it from people in BC to people in Montreal. If Bosh leaves he will get hated on by a whole nation and the Raptors have cleared major cap space and are setting up themselves for a major move. The Raptors are Bosh's team and haven't heard anywhere that Bosh WANTS to play with James when he knows he just be a footnote in his accomplishments ala Pippen to Jordan. If I were Bosh I have no intentions what so ever to go away from Toronto like that.
They are also making moves to improve they have been shopping Bargnani in the market, and have gotten JO to lessen the preasure on Bosh. Why would he go away from all this for the Cavs nobody wants to play in Cleveland. And oh ya have fun when James leaves you for my Knicks, don't worry you'll bounce back in the next 10 years.

Yes Cavalier fan's the truth indeed does hurt.

Make it happen Mr. Ferry. Some combination of Wally, and parts for Bosh and parts please. Then just sit back.

I know the Bosh talks are hypocritical, but as a Clevelander, I really believe that we have the right to dream....more so than almost any other city. We had the Browns ripped from us. The Indians were the worst team for many years and our city hasn't won a championship as Im sure everyone knows since my father was born. Our last championship ( i think) was 1954 for the Browns in the pre-superbowl era. The New York fans and Boston fans always annoy me because the cry about losing teams for short periods of time. Boston acted like they had not won a championship in decades, but they quickly forget the Red Sox and Patriots over the past 6 years.
