Raptors Privately Considering Trading Bosh

The Raptors are privately acknowledging for the first time that they might need to trade Chris Bosh, rather than risk losing him to free agency in 2010, according to a report from the New York Daily News.

The Bulls remain interested in Bosh, but Luol Deng would have to be part of a package going to the Raptors.

Bosh could also end up in Detroit in a package that would net the Raptors Carlos Boozer, according to the report.

Colangelo To Meet With Bosh's Agent

Bryan Colangelo is scheduled to meet with a half-dozen agents, among them Henry Thomas, who represents Chris Bosh and Anthony Parker.

Bosh is eligible for a contract extension this summer and free agency next summer, and Parker is a free agent this summer.

Acording to Colangelo, all of the meetings will be preliminary.

“I think more emphasis has been put on us meeting than is necessary. I’m meeting with Henry, but Henry also represents Anthony Parker, and I’m meeting with five or six other agents. It’s very routine. It’s not like I’m going to be coming out of the weekend with plans to trade [Bosh] or start drawing up an agreement for a contract extension. It’s early in the process.”

Bosh will be in Toronto next week. His website promises a “big announcement” on Monday.
