In 2010, the Miami Heat acquired Chris Bosh from which team?

In 2010, the Miami Heat acquired Chris Bosh from the Toronto Raptors. Bosh joined Miami through a sign-and-trade agreement during the NBA’s dramatic 2010 free-agency period.

The move brought Bosh together with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, creating the Heat’s famous “Big Three.” Miami sent Toronto two future first-round draft picks and a trade exception as part of the transaction. Because Bosh was a free agent, this was technically a sign-and-trade rather than a conventional deal involving a player under contract.

Bosh had been Toronto’s franchise star since the Raptors selected him fourth overall in the 2003 NBA draft. He left as the team’s career leader in several major statistical categories and began a four-year run in Miami that included two NBA championships.

A common mix-up is to describe Bosh’s move as a simple free-agent signing. The Raptors were his previous team, but the formal transaction included Toronto and Miami, making “Toronto Raptors” the canonical answer.
