TORONTO — Chris Bosh has seen the Toronto Raptors transform from a 27-win team to division champions over a single summer.

That's why, after the Raptors won just 33 games and finished out of the playoffs this season, Bosh isn't in any rush to figure out his future.

A four-time All-Star who averaged 22.7 points and 10.0 rebounds this season, Bosh is happy to remain with the Raptors while general manager Bryan Colangelo tries to engineer Toronto's return to a postseason contender.

"I'm not going to demand a trade this summer," Bosh said Thursday as the Raptors cleaned out their lockers the morning after a season-ending road victory over Chicago.

Bosh has two years and approximately $33 million left on his current contract but can opt out after next season, joining a hotly anticipated free agent market that could include LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Amare Stoudemire. He's already considered his future and likes what Toronto offers —for now.

"I've been thinking about it," Bosh said. "I'm here right now, this is where I want to be, this is where I want to play basketball. I don't think I have to sit down really long and hard and just go on some kind of special trip to think about it. There's no pressure for me."

A strong finish to an otherwise sour campaign has Bosh feeling better about Toronto's hopes. The Raptors won nine of their final 13, including a season-high six straight at one stretch. That streak ended with a home loss to New York on April 5, eliminating Toronto from playoff contention.

"We won a huge chunk of our games in the last 13," Bosh said. "We went from 24 (wins) to 33 really fast. I had fun playing with them, I think we had a blast for the last month. We left everything on the court."

While Bosh has faith in Colangelo, Toronto's turnaround didn't happen until after a couple of missteps by the veteran GM, named the 2006-07 NBA executive of the year after helping the Raptors rebound from 27 wins in 2005-06 to a team-record 47 wins and an Atlantic Division crown the following season.

Last July Colangelo traded point guard T.J. Ford to Indiana for center Jermaine O'Neal but the deal bombed when O'Neal didn't fit alongside Bosh and Andrea Bargnani and when Jose Calderon, Ford's replacement, went down with a sore hamstring.

Colangelo fired coach Sam Mitchell after the Raptors stumbled to an 8-9 start, replacing him with Jay Triano, but the team didn't recover until after O'Neal was traded to Miami on Feb. 13 for forward Shawn Marion. Toronto went 3-11 while trying to become an uptempo team before launching its late-season surge.

Had he arrived sooner, Marion predicted he could have put Toronto in the playoffs. Bosh echoed that, saying the Raptors could have challenged for a top seed in the East had they had Marion all season.

"It's easy to say right now because we were on a high cloud, we didn't go through any slumps lately," Bosh said. "But I think we could have really, really challenged a lot of teams for home-court."

If he agrees, Colangelo, who's in New York this week for the league's Board of Governor's meetings, can bypass Bosh and move directly to Marion when he begins summer negotiations. Marion, a 10-year veteran and unrestricted free agent, will likely have to accept a cut from his current $17-million salary, but could be tempted to return if he's offered enough years. Either way, Marion won't make a decision until after a season-ending trip around Eastern Canada.

"Right now I'm just going to relax and enjoy the city for a few extra days and them I'm going to journey home," Marion said Thursday. "I'm going to go to Niagara Falls and see that. I heard Montreal is crazy up there so I'm going up there, too. You can follow me on tour."

Once he's dealt with Marion, Triano's interim status and Toronto's other free agents, including guard Anthony Parker and forward Joey Graham, Colangelo will eventually have to decide what to do with Bosh, too. Will he explore a trade, offer an extension or just sit and wait? Whatever happens, Bosh will accept his fate because he knows how the NBA works.

"Everybody has to remember this is a business first and you do business things," Bosh said with a chuckle.
