Not really. Houston had just cleared the space to give him a 4 year deal at $84-88M, starting at ~20M. You wanna insult him by suggesting he's worth less? Or offer him max first year but not max raises or max years, and risk him saying, "thanks, but I'll go to this franchise that clearly appreciates what I bring to the table more than you do?"
We paid Bosh precisely what we needed to to ensure that he stays, and ensuring that he stays was necessary to avoid complete collapse into the lottery.
