With Bosh, James, Stoudemire, Wade and lesser players (Ray Allen, Rip
Hamilton,, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, and Manu Ginobili all due to
age) do the raptors have a remote opportunity to land any two?

here's a preliminary list of teams with cap space for the 2010 season
Atlanta
Charlotte
Chicago (why do they always have cap space?)
Cleavland
Detroit
Golden State
Houston
Indiana
LAC
Memphis
Miami
Milwaukee
Minnesota
NJ
Philly
Phoenix
Portland
Sacramento
San Antonio
Seattle

I think you should of asked which cities might have a change at James
and Bosh, they would be on the top of that list. Everyone else would
be pretty much used up and old by 2010. I always liked TMac but he has
proven to be a playoff loser. As a Raptors fan as long as CB4 is still
here getting 1 out of 2 wouldn't be bad.

Forget about Sacramento and Indiana, none of the elite players (James
and Bosh) would play there. The Atlanta Crunk have a better shot of
landing James.

His shoe contract that ends in 2010, he will be negociating with
Nike who will be offering a lot more if he has moved to LA or NYC.
IIRC In the original contract there was a bonus if he moved to to one of
those markets.

Don't forget who Lebron James is. Do you really think if cities like
Milwaukee, Indiana, Charlotte, Atlanta, Memphis, Portland, Sacramento,
Seattle (they'll need a franchise first), Memphis, LAC, Minnesota..
have the money, Lebron would go there? They're all small time
cities. Cleveland would even be lucky to keep him.

Agreed.. He is the league's most marketable player, so he's not going
to a small market team. As for Bosh, that's another story. I don't
see how Toronto isn't able to keep him unless for some reason 2 years
from now things have gone horribly wrong with the team and is going in
the opposite direction from where Bosh would like them to be going.
