The 2003 NBA entry draft was one of the best drafts in the history of the NBA with stars such as LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all up of grabs. All four players have proven to be exactly what they were heralded to be by scouts and journalists alike, extremely talented basketball players with long futures in the game.
Cleveland went ahead and drafted James who was everyone´s pick to be the first overall in the 2003, but Raptors had their sites on a young and wirey thin Chris Bosh.
Chris Bosh was drafted fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors who then signed the young power forward on July 8, 2003. But prior to the Raptors signing of the young future superstar of the NBA, the Toronto Raptors had many offers for Chris Bosh. Toronto Veteran star, Vince Carter also was in favour of a trade, but Toronto General Manager, Glen Grunwald refused to trade Chris Bosh as he felt that the then young player would be the future of the Raptors.
Glen Grunwald was right. Chris Bosh did turn out to be the future of the Toronto Raptors.
