Update: Toronto’s big challenge is to improve fast enough to have a chance to keep its four-time All-Star forward-center Chris Bosh, who, like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, will be a free agent in 2010. Bosh led the Raptors with 31 points in Toronto’s 97-75 win over the Clippers in December. The Raptors fired coach Sam Mitchell 17 games into this season when the team was one game under .500; his replacement, Jay Triano, has lost more than two out of three games since.
