Forget all of the Chris Bosh trade rumors because he isn’t going anywhere. Especially with the Celtics starting to fade back in the standings. The most likely player to be moved by the Raptors will be SG/SF Antoine Wright. Wright has played in 38 games (2 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 17.3 minutes, 5.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The reason it might be hard to move Wright is that he has not shot well from anywhere on the floor this season. He has hit 40.3% of his shots from the floor, 36.4% from the three point line and 64.5% from the free throw line this year. A contending team like the Grizzlies could use a player like Wright as their bench is pretty weak.

Chris Bosh has been playing at an MVP level for the Toronto Raptors this season, leading them to a 26-22 record and 7 wins in their last 10 games.  On the season Bosh is averaging 24.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 blocks, and a 52% FG percentage.  Bosh has been nothing but outstanding ever since they took him 4th in the 2003 draft, but his days in Toronto are likely numbered with Bosh becoming an unrestricted free-agent after this season.  In his career with the Raptors Bosh has played in 487 games, averaging 20.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.8 steals, and has shot 49% from the field.  This may be Toronto’s best shot at making a run in the playoffs for years to come, as Bosh will likely be gone next year.  They are starting to play very good basketball, and with Bosh doing his thing the Raptors could make some major noise once the postseason rolls around.

After helping the Orlando Magic make it to the NBA Finals last season, the Toronto Raptors signed the free-agent Hedo Turkoglu in the off-season in hopes that he could help take their team to the next level.  Well, Turkoglu has not looked very comfortable with the Raptors this season and his numbers are all down this year.  After averaging 19.5 points in 2007-’08 and 16.8 points last season with the Magic, Turkoglu is down to 12.5 points this season and is shooting only 40% from the field.  He is also averaging 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 39% from three, so he is not having a horrible season for the Raptors.  Its just that they expected more from Turkoglu this year after signing him to a 5-year $50 million contract.  The Raptors have hovered around .500 this season and they will likely not make it out of the first round of the playoffs unless Turkoglu really steps it up and helps out Chris Bosh more with some of the scoring.

Point guard Jose Calderon is being a great sport for the Raptors as he is playing behind Jarrett Jack. But, instead of pouting Calderon has come back more focused and he is helping the team big time off the bench. Calderon has played in 31 games (22 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 29.3 minutes, 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game. He is also shooting pretty darn well from everywhere on the court hittting 51.5% of his shots from the floor, 40.8% from three point range and 82.3% from the free throw line. A lot of players could learn from Jose Calderon who is putting the team first over his own playing time and stats.

22-year old power forward Amir Johnson has really played well off the bench for the Raptors this season. He has played in 39 games (0 starts) for the Raptors so far this season and he is averaging 16.6 minutes, 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Johnson is shooting 56.7% from the floor as most of his shots are coming from close range. He has a nice upside for the future.
