Aplogies, Miami Rumor Proven True, Sad Day for Raps

I haven't been blogging for quite a while, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. The reason is twofold: my computer underwent a freak accident involving the loss of ALL music files so I have been working to get my music back. Also, I have just received word that Chris Bosh is no longer a Toronto Raptor. He was traded yesterday afternoon to the Miami Heat and will now play alongside star guard Dwayne Wade. What does Toronto get in return? Answer: nothing. Yes, that's right, nothing. We will have to now watch as CB4 enjoys the South Beach weather, him winning with the Heat and him being booed by Raptor fans who will watch Toronto play against Miami at the Air Canada Centre. This episode smears Toronto as being a city who is incapable of winning, drawing key free agents, keeping star players, and having fans who are nothing more than bratty poor sports. We've seen this with Damon Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and now Bosh. For all of this, I first blame the ownership and the management and it trickles down from there. Do I have anything against Chris? No, for that would repudiate what I just wrote and I also must remember that Chris played his heart out every night for the team. He's getting older and he wants to win. Toronto will not be able to provide him with that opportunity, so I can understand if he wants to go somewhere else. However, I don't think that Miami was the best choice for Chris. For more on that, browse my June posts for my questions to the Miami Heat people. I'm not writing this all out again, so search for that. The only thing I'm upset with is that there is not going to be a sign-and-trade deal between the Heat and the Raptors where the Raptors would be able to acquire some cash or players from Miami that would benefit the team. Other than that, I wish Chris all the best and I will still applaud his efforts and successes both in life and in the NBA. Good day to you all, and here's the link to the article about Bosh: Bosh and Wade Join Forces in Miami
