LeBron James is certainly entitled to take his time before ultimately making a decision as to where he’ll play next season or beyond but that doesn’t mean the world will stand still while he does.
The Rockets are very interested in Chris Bosh and have reportedly offered him the max. Granted, the Western Conference is difficult, but a Dwight Howard – James Harden – Chris Bosh core is nothing to sneeze at. This is all pending Houston’s ability to move Jeremy Lin.
Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh had his first direct conversation with Houston Rockets management on Monday morning, inching closer to the possibility of a four-year, $80 million-plus contract, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Bosh’s stance on his intentions have remained unchanged: His preference is to stay with Miami on a new deal and play with LeBron James. Nevertheless, James hasn’t committed to a return and Houston has moved aggressively to secure a deal with Bosh, sources said.
Houston still needs to unload Jeremy Lin to make space for a max contract offer, but has contingencies in place to get a trade done upon the commitment of a free-agent player, sources said.
