And there were to be no discounts.
Now, based on this interview, it seems like he's done a complete flip.
Now he wants to go to a contender (fair enough)
Now he has more than enough money (fair enough)
So this change of attitude seems to justify the notion that his head isn't fully into what he's doing right now.
It certainly seems to be occupying his thoughts, and with Hedo off on another planet, it's perhaps no accident that the Raptors seem to be drifting aimlessly. Everyone seems to have their own agenda - except Jack and presumably the younger players who are commited to the Raptors by their contracts.
The Raptors played the Heat Sunday so the local media had to ask Chris Bosh about free agency. Bosh's main goal is to play for a team that wins.
"It's nice here, but there are a lot of nice places," Bosh told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
"Winning," Bosh said when asked what his free agent decision will hinge on. "I'm fortunate enough to have enough money. After seven years in the league, I want to play on a contender."
Bosh also said he won't make a quick decison about where he's going to play and that his connection with Dwyane Wade is overstated because they played for Team USA and they are represented by the same agency.
"I think it's going to drag out for a while," Bosh told The Miami Herald Sunday. "There are so many possibilities and scenarios, with guys staying with their own teams and trying to get other guys [to sign]. You have to look at combinations and possibilities of what could happen. So I don't expect it to be over too quickly."
"I know Dwyane a little bit, not a lot," Bosh added. "We haven't spent that much time outside of USA Basketball. People always are going to look for some kind of connection. That's understandable. People are going to try to make things up. There is always going to be speculation. So I'll let everybody write their stories and keep going about my business."
