Rockets "heavily engaged" with Chris Bosh

Bosh likely thinks of himself as a Duncan/Dirk type player... and they're still getting paid

 

This is a HELL of a lot of money to give up. Especially for a guy that isn't particularly marketable.

 

Shaun11 looks to be right. We may be encountering happy times!

 

Hey guys. I am back. Heard ant news lately....lol.

 

Might have the best starting five? I don't think it'd be debatable.

 

The thing about the extra year is that it's not really true. Bosh will only excercise it if he has a career ending injury (no significant injury history) or his value is so low that he can't make up the salary (he's only 30 y/o).

So while the insurance of a 5th year is nice, it's just that......insurance.

 

That was when Bosh was young and pursuing a championship dream. Now he had it, the charm is less. He must be thinking about retiring at this age. And the 5th year is huge.

Exactly. This is a no-brainer. Woj said they're working on money, I think this deciding between Houston and Miami is Miami trying to manipulate the media to get more in a sign and trade. I think Riley wants to stick it to us by getting Bev, Morey might have to bite it on this one and cave in order to get this deal done

 

CFans meltdown.

 

Championships are expensive.

 

Bosh needs to ask himself, is the chance of winning a couple of more rings worth $31m? Considering his age and the fact he's already got two wings already, it may be tougher decision than most people think.

 

This is so reminiscent of the Howard chase. Remember when we all thought he was going to GS?

 

You're really going to compare that Raptors team to the Heat sans Lebron? Sorry, they still aren't that bad and have the potential to still be a top 4 team which equated to 48 wins last year.

Look, the no brainer decision would be the Rockets. But it's widely known that Bosh and his family are happy in Miami and the Heat can offer more money for another year.

 

This^^^

He left 2 years/42 million on the table to try and make LeBron work. Seems like 4 years would be enough.

 

Let's just hope McHale doesn't say anything crazy to send bosh the other way

 

BTW, Nick Johnson just threw down an in-game 360 degree dunk. Kid is sick.

 

That contract from Miami tho.. That's hard to say no to.

 

In reality--probably fill that cap space with lesser guys and try to create a monster bench.
