That is so ****ing stupid. Amazing how we are happy the LOF's are gone but straight away there spot is filled with MOREY haters.
what a idiot....yes you were the LAST PIECE.... and he acts like Miami is a 4-6hr flight away from Houston..live in Houston during season and Miami during offseason
I guess he's satisfied with 2 rings. I really don't buy the whole "I want to live in Miami". How many players actually live in the state where their team is? Nothing says he can't live in S. Beach in the offseason (sort of like guys who live in Houston in the offseason).
I think Bosh didn't want to be the third option. I don't think he was going to Miami if Lebron returned. Just a feeling I have.
Pretty sure Bosh knew it was going to be easier for him to make it past the first round and or second in the East before he wanted to try the West. It does seem like Bosh used our offer as leverage for a bigger contract. Nothing wrong with him staying in Miami and making that much more. Now he gets to be the man in Miami, I doubt they'll go to the ECF even once during the next 5 years (unless they tank next year and get a high draft pick the next year).
Why are we still talking about that motherfawker? I wish nothing but NBA failure for him from now until his ugly azz retires.
Just wondering, why hasn't this been moved to the Dish already? Dude screwed us (or Morey screwed hiumself), whatever. The fact is he's not a Rocket, and won't be a Rocket until he's iun his 40's. I think we should let this go....(just my opinion)
[rQUOTEr]... For Bosh, Plan A all along was to return to Miami with James, Wade and Bosh and try to reach the NBA Finals together for a fifth straight time. But with James heading elsewhere, it was onto Plan B. And that didn't take long to take shape. Moments after receiving James' text, the Heat offered Bosh a maximum contract worth $118 million over five years, something that wasn't on the table at the start of free agency. The Heat had competition. After considering "strong" offers from multiple teams including the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, Bosh ultimately decided to return to the Heat later that night. "[There were] very enticing offers," Bosh said. "There was some surprising advances made in everything, but I ultimately decide to stay in Miami. I think it was the right choice. I benefit from it, the team will benefit from it, from here. My heart was in Miami. I wanted to be there and keep my family there and build relationships and really keep building on something special." Bosh, 30, will be under contract with the Heat through the 2018-19 season when he will be 35 years old. This was a family decision for James and it was no different for Bosh, who lives in Miami Beach with his wife and two young children. Bosh strongly considered leaving to take Houston's four-year, $88 million offer to join a championship contender but contrary to reports, Bosh insists it was never a Houston or Miami proposition. "We're all making decisions to make ourselves happy and our families happy," Bosh said of his and James' decision. "That doesn't take away what we've done together and the special bond that we created and the special bond that we have and just all the memories that we had together. That will never change. As you move forward, you appreciate those moments and keep going forward." ... Bosh heavily considered the Rockets situation playing next to James Harden and Dwight Howard. "It was tough," Bosh said. "Houston was a real strong candidate with me coming in there right away, we could be a championship contending team. [Rockets coach] Kevin McHale seems to be an excellent coach and he gets along with his players." Bosh ended up choosing family and familiarity. He'll have a much greater role offensively, a challenge that he believes he's ready for after playing mostly outside of the spotlight the last four seasons. Did Bosh miss being the alpha dog? "I think sometimes you miss it," Bosh said. "You wonder if you can still do it and step up to the challenge. I haven't had to be that guy. I played with the best player in the world. I didn't have to be the alpha. But now I get to see if I have it in me and not many people are going to believe I have what's necessary. But that's what makes it exciting. "You know, I'm not the same player that I was when I was 25, the last time I got to [be the No. 1 option]. I'm more mature, my game is more mature and I can do a bunch of things on and off the court to fully maximize this team's potential." ... One thing he wants to clear up: Toronto Bosh is long gone and that's not a necessarily a bad thing. "CB4 is never coming back," Bosh said, referring to his nickname as a Raptor. "A few years later, I think I'm a much better player. It's funny, even all the way over here in Africa, people are telling me, 'We need CB4 back.' I can't be that. That's impossible." "But I feel I'm a much better leader and a much better player and I'm much more prepared for the role, the all-around role, that they need me to fill. That's exciting for me to really challenge myself and step up to the plate next year and make sure we get it done, no matter what happens." http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/11210803/chris-bosh-ready-lead-miami-heat[/rQUOTEr]
From the AP story... “I’d be lying if I sat here and said Houston wasn’t enticing,” Bosh said. “You look at their roster and you can kind of see why it makes sense for them to be interested in me, with the chance they have to be successful. They’re going to be a good team regardless next year. It just seemed like I would be that final piece that they needed. It was a hard choice to turn down.”
D-Morey, I think the lesson here is to find younger or single guys with no families to up root if you intend to blow it all up and go all in on the river.
