When the entire LeBron free agency ordeal was going down, Chris Bosh was reportedly overseas on vacation. So, not only was he away, but LeBron reportedly wasn’t talking to anybody while he was making up his mind. That left Bosh, who had a max offer on the table from the Rockets, in the dark.
By nature of this uncertainty, Chris nearly left the Heat because he wasn’t sure what was going on. Hard to blame him if that would’ve been the case.
Chris Bosh said Thursday that he was “close” to leaving the Miami Heat before ultimately deciding to sign a five-year, $118 million contract to stay with the team.
“It was close. I’m not going to lie,” Bosh said on “The Zaslow and Joy Show” on FM 104.3 The Ticket in Miami. “It was close. It was a weird situation because we were waiting so long and I didn’t know what was going on.
“I think you’re always in a situation where it is close even if you don’t leave because teams got very aggressive on me. And I guess as soon as LeBron made up his mind, that’s when everything could fall in line. But I was just waiting, so I didn’t know what was going on.”
