I would rather have love too, but every time I think of K. Love I think of this The idea of Bosh is growing on me if we are able to keep our other players too. <iframe width="854" height="510" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IwUuU6Ltw9o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It's not clear at all. While speculation from SAS and message board conspiracy theorists aside, there is nothing to suggest that Lebron has a dislike for Bosh as his teammate.
Ethan J. Skolnick: Bosh is not the fulcrum. The reports started a week ago that he agreed to $11 mil to now he wants the max. It's not one or the other. I've heard repeatedly and was confirmed Saturday, he's looking for 5 years in the $80-90 million range, in the $70s for the right player. If things fall apart, you explore your options.
@WojYahooNBA: Chris Bosh wants to play with LeBron James in Miami, but conversations between his camp and Houston ongoing today, sources tell Yahoo.
I really like bosh on this team next to Howard, but morey seems like he's about to over pay and give up our bench... I really like the direction the clippers & doc are going 2 stars, then Jordan which is like our parsons... Then a solid back up for every spot on the team, they can go 10 deep. Morey positioned himself perfect with the young talent in jones, Daniels & nick... All we needed was a vet who could pick and pop at the PF & play defense... Don't have to spend $20 mill and risk no bench to get that player.
This literally tells us nothing. He wants something between $11M and the max, and he wants it for 5 years. However, if that doesn't happen, he explores his options. Fantastic. Everything is in a holding pattern until Pat Riley has enough time to exhaust all his options on how to bring Carmelo to South Beach. Until then, LeBron and Melo will not sign, which means that Bosh will not sign.

[rQUOTEr]Where's Chris Bosh best fit? Elhassan: Miami, provided LeBron comes back. The world wants to panic, but a month ago, the Heat looked on track to win a third consecutive title. There was a point this season where Miami led the league in passes per offensive possession -- the trait that everyone praised the Spurs for. This was not a bad, mediocre, or even good team -- they were one of the best. They definitely need improving, but the hysteria surrounding their worth as a unit is preposterous. Gutierrez: A lot of places. That's the beauty of Bosh's versatile game. He can fit in Houston as a stretch four next to Dwight Howard. He can fit in Los Angeles as the Lakers' secondary scoring option. He can fit in Chicago as an upgrade from Carlos Boozer. Or he can fit in Miami, where he'll probably be looked at as more of an offensive option in coming seasons. McMenamin: Wherever LeBron is playing. As soon as he teamed up with James, he made four straight Finals appearances and won two rings. Staying in Miami with James should be his top priority. If that becomes unrealistic because of James leaving, Bosh should seriously consider returning to his home state of Texas to play in Houston alongside Dwight Howard and James Harden to form another Big Three. Strauss: The Rockets are the best fit, roster wise. Dwight Howard would protect the rim and spare Bosh the more bruising defensive assignments. When Howard sits, Bosh bombs 3-pointers from the 5-spot, in keeping with Morey's 3-pointer heavy approach. Houston seems like a great place for a lot of players to be, save for the part where you're constantly dangled in trade rumors. Wallace: In all honesty, it's Houston. He'd be a perfect fit as a stretch power forward alongside Dwight Howard. He's already accustomed to playing as a third option, so it wouldn't be a foreign concept to initially defer to Dwight and James Harden. Houston makes all the sense in the world, aside from a return to Miami. But Bosh, a Dallas native, once jokingly told me he's been done that in the Lone Star state. Plus he says he's "got some crazy cousins in Houston" he needs to stay away from.[/rQUOTEr]
The Clippers were probably as good as they'll ever be last year. They struggled with GS in Rd 1 and then got bounced in 6 by OKC in Rd 2. I don't think they did much worth talking about.
It really depends on which Bosh you get which would determine whether or not he is overpaid. The Toronto Bosh that was on the low block quite a bit would honestly be worth the max. The spot up shooter Bosh that Miami has probably wouldn't be worth it. Personally, I think the Rockets will use him in ways Toronto did more so than Miami if they are to acquire him.
If that. I don't think any offer in the world would get him to leave LeBron and Miami if they can get close to 5 years $75m.
