Bosh could go to Houston and be on a pretty good team there, and make more money.

But he'd rather play with Lebron.

Earlier this week, Ray Allen said he'd come back to play if he could play with Lebron.




Lebron must be a pretty good teammate. I don't think I remember guys literally following around Shaq or Duncan in free agency. I don't think I even saw this with MJ.

Yea it's pretty ridiculous. And giving up way more money and chance to go back home.

Yet you hear haters how Lebron turned Bosh into a role player. If that was somehow true and really Lebron's fault I don't think Bosh is stupid enough to be such a loyal dog to Lebron as it appears to be.

People focus so much on the money and how a player fits with a team that they forget the player may be really comfortable and doesn't want to move again. Bosh seems VERY comfortable in Miami.

He can just get 10 milions, be uncomfortable for 2-3 years and then be as comfortable as he wants for the rest 40-50 years of his life.

Great point. The only other example I can think of is Formula One's Michael Schumacher taking several key team members with him when he moved to Ferrari. I can't think of any other basketball player who had this kind of effect, though.

I think he actually is. i've read several interviews of players and coaches saying that he's a real nice dude and a great teammate. MJ on the other hand was quite a jerk at times from what I've heard.

He will leave if LeBron does. Being comfortable only means so much unless he's that happy and comfortable with this organization to stay.

Their going to keep this up until the season starts and both end up staying in Miami due to indecisiveness :applause:

[IncarceratedBob]

Bosh really loves Miami but only if LeBron is there. Lmao this guy is a fcking bitch, pathetic human scum.

Ok I will give you 2 options and you have to choose

1. You will do exactly the same job as you do now but I will pay you +10 millions and you will have to move to cleveland for 3 years. After that you can do w/e you want.

2. You keep your current job and you will be comfortable

More like this:

1. I stay at my current job doing the same thing I do, with my close friends and family.

2. I move to Cleveland and live there to do the same thing I'm doing now for a 15% pay increase.


I don't know about you, but I'm staying here. They would literally have to pay me DOUBLE what I'm making now to even consider it.

You forgot something. Those 2-3 next years will be the last years of your career. You won't work again after that. So the pay increase ( which is more than 15%) is worth it.

lebron is in a loss loss situation he doesnt wana betray his miami bros but he wants to go back to cleveland

There is always family deicisions as well. i dont know Bosh's personal life but what if he has kids that go to school in Miami or his wife wants to stay. Its hard to just pack up and leave especially Miami..

[LBJ4MVP23]

The man won 2 rings. He will forever be known as a champion (even though he did poopy in the finals each time).

Time to go get paid and align with younger star players at a chance for another title. In the worst case he made 100 mil almost with 1 contract and was in his home state. He will also play with 2 stars again since wade is spent. He should leave.

[Solefade]

bosh will be a much better player when they designate him as the clear 2nd option

[Torious]

Damn, how does lebron even walk with that many guys hanging onto his nuts.

[LBJ4MVP23]

As much as playing with LBJ turned Bosh into a spot up shooter, so did Spoelstras brilliant game plan.

If plan a is let LBJ go to work with the ball, and plan B is wade, then Bosh only has a handful of times hes in a position to not be a spot up shooter. Spoelstra is a puppet and a moron regardless of his success just like Mike Brown. We all saw what he accomplished with LBJ and it would be the same if LBJ left Spo. Spo should have seen that Wade was doing crap and game planned for Bosh as a second option. Make sure he gets his touches first before Wade and while I dont think this wins them the title, it would have been a lot of a lot more competitive.

Instead he had wade getting lit up on defense and then bricking on offense while Bosh hung around at the three point line because there is only so many plays you can call after options 1 and 2 have had their number called.

Bosh as a second option will get 22 and 10 if he is also playing the 4 at incredible efficiency.

This is too simplistic though, because if LeBron stays in Miami he still has the same bad coach and the same old broken down running mates. I don't see how that team wins a championship.

I don't think the money is as important as winning more rings.

[OnFire]

I'm a Heat fan, but there's a part of me that would laugh if LeBron took the deal in Houston that they offered Bosh while LeBron's telling Bosh to hold on before taking that deal.

Who are you talking about? The only member of the big three that will be out of the league potentially in 2-3 years is Wade.

I just answered the scenario as given for myself. I'm not LeBron, and I don't know what's it like to have tens of millions, potentially hundreds of millions of dollars.

An extra 10 or 20 million might be water under the bridge. Or LeBron might be looking at his current home and family's lifestyle in Miami and value that higher than winning a few rings. If it were all about the rings, LeBron could've signed for Spencer Hawes money in LA / GS / San Antonio / OKC and be done with it.

if this is true in some way, it's kinda ridiculous by bosh, make your own story man.

This is pathetic. Be a f*cking man, Chris.

Nobody is as bad as Mo Williams:



Mo Williams(notes) is 27, healthy and has three years and $26 million remaining on his Cleveland Cavaliers contract. But none of that mattered much to him this summer after he watched LeBron James(notes) leave the Cavs to join the Miami Heat. Williams said he was so depressed by James’ exit that he considered walking away from the NBA.

“That’s how bad it got,” Williams said. “I contemplated it. I really sat down and envisioned life after basketball. …I really saw myself not playing.

“It just didn’t make sense to me. …It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Williams played alongside James the past two seasons, serving as the Cavs’ starting point guard and second-leading scorer as they finished with the NBA’s best record two years in a row. Cleveland’s regular-season success, however, didn’t translate to the playoffs, where the Cavs fell short of reaching the NBA Finals both times. Still, Williams felt comfortable in his role next to James. He was named to the All-Star team in 2009 and remained hopeful that, together, they could deliver a championship to Cleveland in the 2010-11 season.

Those hopes all but disappeared on July 8 when James announced he was leaving. By the time of James’ televised special, Williams had heard from enough people around James to know his days of playing next to the two-time reigning MVP were over – even if Williams didn’t want to admit it.

“As anyone tied to the Cavs, you want to be in denial,” Williams said. “…You never want to say, ‘Yeah, OK, he’s gone.’ ”

Williams didn’t hide his disappointment, even tweeting in the hours after the announcement that he hoped James would change his mind. Williams also publicly expressed his regret for how James broke the hearts of Clevelanders and for the earlier firing of coach Mike Brown, who had lost James’ support.

“I had to get it off my chest,” he said.

Williams said he and James remain friends, but he’s also tried to use the past two months to move on.

“You get back here to Cleveland, get around the new coaching staff, start a few workouts, get around the young guys and basically accept the fact that we are not what we once were,” he said. “We don’t have the No. 23 jersey hanging in the locker before every game now.”

Wow, I completely forgot about that Mo Williams piece. Like a whole goddamn litter of kittens died in his house all at the same time, that's how depressed he was. :oldlol:

Lebron must be a pretty good teammate. I don't think I remember guys literally following around Shaq or Duncan in free agency. I don't think I even saw this with MJ.

When Shaq went to the Lakers, there wasn't a huge trend of people intentionally teaming up. It had just started with the Rockets (Drexler followed Hakeem, followed by Barkley and later Pippen). The 2nd time we saw an intentional team up was Payton and Malone going to the Lakers to team up with Shaq and Kobe. Shaq was sent away that season, and Payton immediately followed Shaq again. We also saw a brief swarm of free agents go to Miami the very same season Shaq went to Miami. After that nobody followed Shaq, but why would they once he became a declining shell of his former self?

he got depressed for about a minute, then opened up his online bank account
