Bosh's Stance Toward Extension Changes

The Globe and Mail reported today that Chris Bosh has come around on the idea of a contract extension with the Raps.

“We haven’t read the book yet, but when he has it ready, I’ll gladly sit down and talk about it, discuss pros and cons, and come to a decision,” Bosh said. “But I like that we’re not sitting around, waiting around, putting all our eggs in the basket and saying we’re going to wait for 2010 because we want to have [salary] cap space to get players you might not be able to sign. The do-it-now approach is very motivating, for everyone.

“We’re a lot deeper and I think we have a fantastic team. If we work on the small things, we can make some noise.”

It certainly seems like Bosh loves Toronto (see: "I love Toronto and Toronto loves me") and the Raptors have definitely shown that they are willing to do anything to build a talented core around him. In this economy, it's easy for teams to focus too much on saving money while forgetting the on-court product, and come 2010, Bosh may realize that Toronto is one of the teams most willing to gather up a supporting cast capable of competing.
