The Official Bosh is 100% leaving Toronto quotes thread!

[Lauzy Lau]

"Bosh is definitely leaving"

- Chris Webber on NBA TV.

Can we sticky this?

Once Bosh resigns we need to flood the inboxes of every single one of these writers in a I Told You So method.

yup just write down every member that doubted he would sign and send an i told you so message once he re-signs...

My sources tell me Chris Bosh wants out of Toronto. Preferably before 2010, when he's free to opt out of his contract. They've also informed me Bosh has quietly made the Raptors aware of this, that he wouldn't mind interest from Miami or Dallas, at all, and that he's hopeful his days as a Raptor will come to an end sooner than when the LeBron James' Sweepstakes hits the fan in 2010.

This is the Stephen A. Smith from 2/2/09 bit where he categorically states as FACT that Bosh straight up TOLD BC that he wanted to be traded... not just leaving as a FA... he wanted to be traded to Miami or Dallas ASAP.

Bosh, his agent, and BC all straight up deny this ever ever happened and Smith REFUSES to say who his sources are. Frankly this is hatchet journalism that would get you fired from any reputable new outlet. Smith is lucky he is a internet blogger accountable to no-one.

Updated Feb 16, 2010.

At then end of all of this, I am going to make a new thread (regardless of what happens to Bosh). We can review all of the quotes from the major publications & vote who is the most:

1. Honesty/ Integrity based media guy (who does his background work & tells the facts)
2. Agenda/ bias based media guy (doesn't care about the facts, just spins it his own way)
3. Knowledgeable of the Raptors (knew what the hell he was talking about)
4. Tabloid/ trash based media guy (Just makes over the top comments/ spreads rumours)
5. The most villanous media guy when it comes to Raptor reporting (slags the franchise, city, country every chance he gets)

So far, the guy with the most integrity so far seems to be Marc Stein in my books. He went out of his way to do interviews with Bosh & based his opinions on what he heard from the horses mouth.

It'll be interesting! We can email each of the guys & tell them where they stood in our polls.

I feel no schadenfreude towards the Raptors like I do for almost everyone else.

I feel no schadenfreude towards the Raptors like I do for almost everyone else.

Perhaps the nicest thing anyone has said about us and our team.
