Though the Toronto Raptors have been improving in the win column over the past few weeks, their season will soon be over. Then the talks of Chris Bosh’s future will take center stage.

Jason Kidd would be the most intriguing option, as he would come to New York only if he drew no interest from playoff contenders, however Cleveland and Los Angeles reportedly would show interest in bringing Kidd in as a backup.
