Bosh prefers money over loyalty

[The Rebel]

Bosh was probably the luckiest player in the league for the last decade. He was drafted by a franchise led by Air Canada and was heading to have channing frye/charlie V type of career. Then Carter was traded and he became the franchise player and was given the freedom to do whatever he wanted on the court. Gotten to the playoffs twice in 7 years in Toronto and never passed the first round. Then became one of the big threes and won 2 rings and now have a chance to chase for more rings/money. How many star players in the last decade were given max money and winning rings at the same time? Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Dirk, Pierce, KG, Duncan and Bosh? He is easily the least talented from the list.

Are you really saying that Bosh is basically the same level talent as Frye and CV?

Lol don't go to Houston, you're too likable to go to Houston.
Plus Mchale would just turn you into a 3 point camper so that harden can ISO dribble and Dwight can rebound.
Should go to the suns or bulls or cavs.

lol Miami fans are gonna be on suicide watch till July 10th.

That's a lot of money. What do Rockets fans think? He's a great fit but 20+ mill? I don't think he's good enough to warrant that.

i like bosh, but not for max....19mil is what they can give him...but with the way things are going this summer...you gotta pay to play

I really like the fit of Bosh on Houston, but I feel like they could grab someone else who would be better for them with max money. Will Bosh even do that much different than Terrence Jones does (albeit better, but still)?

[mattkobe1984]

Bosh will go to houston. Because he hates playing center, with howard there he can play the position he likes the most. Is good for the nba if james and bosh both have their own team.

Btw i hate bosh with a passion but in houston it will be the perfect situation for him

What would Bosh's first year salary be on a 4-year max from a new team?

[DETermination]

If they are really offering him a max contract I would take that in a heartbeat if i'm bosh.

Houston, actually Morey's has to do something. He can't come up empty handed this off season.

Bosh and Howard seem like they would be good complementary pieces, so that's not a bad place for him to sign with if the Miami thing doesn't work out.

[The Penguin]

Bosh signs max with houston, leaving Riley cap space to sign melo. Lebron + melo finally get to play together.

That's what Lebron wants. Riley will make it happen. They can give Lebron & Melo the max, give Wade a bit of a haircut but long term security on a 5 year deal then sign Channing Frye to do Bosh's job for a fraction of the cost. For what Bosh gives the Heat they'd be dumb to max him vs signing Frye for $5-6 mil.

[trustykilo]

Bosh signs with Rockets.
Lebron signs with the Mavs.

...preparing to OFFER. Give means something different. That's still not as much money as he could get in Miami. If he stays, he could get his money, his loyalty AND compete for championships. Pretty sweet for him.

cavs were preparing to offer hayward also..

If Bosh signs in Houston it likely push Lebron toward the Cavs. Wade suddenly would be in rebuild mode.

Tough if your Houston. You landing Bosh would like make Lebron very available. If your Lebron do you still try to go to Houston by trying to force a Harden for James sign and trade. Lebron has to make a decision fast because if Melo and Bosh start going places his options could start to be limited.

It does not look like Melo has much interest in going to Miami. If Miami isn't going to be as strong he probably be more inclined to stay in Ny. Knowing the East would really be up for grabs.

they didnt offer hayward one...

But despite reports that he would be given a maximum salary offer sheet before the day was done, Hayward left town without a commitment from the Cavaliers and with an eagerness to continue testing the rest of his one-man market

Lebron is going to stay in Miami if Bosh is making the max? Unless Wade is playing for free Miami would have zero ability to make moves.
