I really want to apologize for posting this because we are on the point where this team and Kobe will make history.  I swear this story will never die.  As before, this rumor has caused two sides to a debate which has become heated at times.  That is not the point of this post.  But since this isn't Peter V. and its ESPN I put more interest into it.  Even Bill Simmons has made comments about the possibility of the Lakers landing Bosh. 

The most intriguing part of this is the mention that Toronto would prefer to do a sign and trade and would prefer a big man in return.  Peace out Bynum..lol   just kidding. 

CHICAGO -- Chris Bosh's agent has told the Toronto Raptors that he's narrowed his list of preferred teams to five, two sources told ESPN.com's Chad Ford at the NBA draft camp.

The list of five teams -- Toronto plus the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and New York Knicks, sources said -- were given to Toronto management in case the Raptors want to construct a sign-and-trade deal (assuming he doesn't re-sign with Toronto).

Bosh likes that option, sources told Ford, because he'd get one more year on his contract and could make more money.

Sources said the Raptors prefer a sign-and-trade if Bosh is intent on leaving as well. They likely would want a big man to replace the 6-10, 230-pound Bosh in the lineup.

One source said Bosh's decision hinges on where LeBron James signs.

"If LeBron decides to go to either New York or Chicago, I think that's where you'll see Chris land," the source told Ford. "If LeBron stays in Cleveland, I think the process is more wide open."

Bosh, 26, is an unrestricted free agent. He averaged 24 points per game last season and has averaged 20.2 points per game for his career.
