Pretty much every player in the NBA prefers a great life and money over winning, when it really comes down to it. There are a few exceptions - mostly players at the end of their careers trying to complete career legacies.
"We weren't going to beat those guys," Bosh said. "They were clicking on all cylinders. ... You can accept losing to such a great team." This is the only sentence that the OP should have bolded. It may be true, but it's also loser talk. MJ would have never said this about anyone or any team, ever. Ditto Kobe, Hakeem or any member of the Clutch City "Heart of a Champion" Teams. Glad we whiffed on this pansy.
Bosh will be better next season..now that he is the #1 option..he can play in the low/high post now and not worry about blocking Lebron's driving lane. Fans don't understand Wade and Bosh made sacrifices after year 1 losing to the Mavs.
I hope this turns into a blessing in disguise...I really really HATE Bosh for how he played us to get more money form Miami....I hope he tears his ACL and comes out of the closet....
I was surprised by the Parsons thing, though. I thought the fact that they declined that team option meant that, for sure, they were ready to match anything under any circumstance.
