Toronto heats up sale pitch to retain Bosh

TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors' future looked as clouded as the skies over Iceland on Monday as general manager Bryan Colangelo delivered a season-ending post-mortem that included a well worn sales pitch to Chris Bosh.

With Bosh, the franchise leader in points and rebounds, set to test the free agent waters it looks an anxious time for Toronto basketball fans as they wait to see what the all-star will do on July 1 when the wheeling and dealing begins.

Colangelo has made it his number one goal to have Bosh back in a Raptors uniform next season but the player has made it equally clear he wants to see what other opportunities may be out there for an Olympic gold medal-winning forward.
