“So what’s Bosh gonna get in Canada if he stays”

About $30 million more than signing with another team.
.................................

Those cowards at RR have banned me from commenting on the forum because I proved them wrong and incompetent ... sorry ...</description>

		<description>LeBron and Bosh are both Nike guys, and if Nike wants them paired together playing for the NYKs, they will have to let Bosh dip his beak into what LeBron will bring in.

It&#039;s rumoured that LeBron could take less than max money from the NYKs just to play on a championship stacked team that would have to include Bosh.

Nike could easily make up the $$$$ difference that LeBron would lose if he was big hearted enough to help the Knicks acquire other good players.

LeBron will be playing for both Nike and the Knicks in the huge NYC market ... and NBA Stern will be happy as a pig in poop if there is a NYK-LAL championship final next season.

Win-win-win for everybody ... except the rest of the Eastern conference playing second and third fiddle to a stacked NYKs team ...!!!!</description>

		<description>Besides, Jordan obviously made lots of money from Nike playing in Chicago, but I don&#039;t remember Pippen cashing in much playing beside Jordan.  Being the second star anywhere isn&#039;t nearly as profitable, endorsement-wise as being the first star somewhere else.</description>

		<description>FAQ,

Do some research.  The shoe companies aren&#039;t handing out massive paydays anymore.  Two reasons.  After paying out millions on someone (Tiger, I think), they never got a good return on their investment, and shoe companies had noticed they weren&#039;t really making much money on the athletes, they stopped the big payments.  Also, with the economy the way it is in the US, shoe companies are not going to make massive payouts without much of a return.  

And FAQ, you&#039;re reading FAR, FAR too much into someone&#039;s look after a bad loss.  You&#039;re trying to read a guy&#039;s mind, here.  I&#039;ve seen the same look on loads of players at the end off losses like that.  

You WANT Bosh to leave because then you can say to everyone, &quot;See, I told you so.&quot;.  You are starting to sound like those American sportswriters, and that&#039;s not a good thing.

The Raptors have been one of the best teams in the last month and a half.  They&#039;ve won 15 of their last 20, including  wins against the Lakers, Spurs and Magic, and you&#039;re basing his decision on one bad loss on the road?

Reality check, here.</description>

		<description>Tim!!!! ... the NYC pimp &amp; pusher market for Nike shoes could alone make millions for LeBron or Bosh ... it&#039;s massive ...!!!!

Looking at Bosh on the bench after the loss to Indiana, I could read his mind: &quot;Get me out of here please!!!&quot;  Playing for defense-less Raptors is a waste of time for Bosh .. no championships .. no glory .. nothing .. absolutely nothing .. soooo obvious ...!!!!</description>
