Maybe this news cold be translated into "Miami has concerns Bosh isn't all about winning because he won't take a pay cut for us".

Well I think the knee issue, coupled with the two post-season trips where he folded badly, is making teams think twice. One of the things Bosh has to realize is that he is NOT at LBJ or Wade's level, but he is in fact posturing himself as being there. Honestly, teams may look at David Lee or Stoudamire at less money, and think it's a better option.

So which free agents are about winning? What a pathetic attempt by the Miami front office to try some lame damage control.

I think Bosh just responded to this on Twitter:

Here's what's going to happen. The Raptors WILL lose Bosh, and that is not a good thing, as fan support will dwindle, and the Raptors will draw less next season.

Meanwhile, Bosh will be playing alongside a superstar, making the max amount, and live in a world class city and enjoy his life.

What people post here, including usual Bosh haters, will not matter, so I don't understand why you guys bother.

You know if this was a guy you like, you would love the twitting. NY fans now hate it because they're no longer the front runners, and Miami fans would love him, if he signs with them instead of twitting about New Jersey having a great presentation. This is how the world works.


Well, we will continue to live in a world class city, cheering for a raptors team that has a good future.

Translation - Bosh doesn't seem to be willing to accept slightly less than max like we requested.

Bosh had the most desire to win on our team, and obviously the lack success last season is why he is leaving.so to say he doesn't want to win is ridiculous

Having control of your own media isnt a problem. Making yourself like like a self cetered dbag that doesn't care about his fans through your own media is a problem.

Well, exactly. And Bosh isn't bitching about you living in a world class city and cheering for the Raptors. He's simply living his life and doing what he always does. Bosh has always been more into the whole internet thing than any other NBA player in the league. Live with it, or ignore it.

That was a valid point that Bosh just made. There are rumours flying around everywhere, but Bosh is showing that he hasn't made a decision yet.

He's **** up the money. The less you say the better, that's just life. That's why lawyers say stfu & don't say anything. The more you say the more likely you go to jail. Bosh need to be more hood. It'll help his ball & social career.

Do people realize Bosh barely tweeted during the season? Didn't release a single sketch video? Shrugged off free agency until this summer?

And now it's summer, he's a free agent, and by posting quick comments on who he's meeting with he's being a "media whore"? He's being offensive? You're reading WAY too much into this. You're taking ambiguous comments as personal insults. You're upset about losing Bosh so you've convinced yourself that you don't want him, and this is just one of your excuses.

All we really know about Chris Bosh is what he does on the court. That's what's concrete. That's what isn't up for interpretation. Bosh busted his ass for us every night for 7 years. If a ****ing 140 character message changes that for you, you have your priorities mixed up.

I agree with Chris, this is bs. Either media puppets getting their feelings hurt they have no control of the situation, or a plant from a rival destination like Chicago.

I never needed to convince myself that I didn't want him. That he is NOT worth the Max is a feeling shared I'm sure by a great many basketball/Raptors fans. He will make a nice 2nd fiddle for some team that can afford a true Max player to go with him.

I'm just hoping BC can use his leaving to the give the Raps the Max benefit.

So as it relates to this story I hope nothing Bosh is doing is diminishing his value in any market that wants to pay him and give the Raps assets.

There was no way forward with Bosh. He can go bust his arse for the Max for somebody else.
