Chris Bosh?

Yeah, I would guess Golden State. Makes the most sense for him. He could replace David West's role and be much better.

I wouldn't assume everybody wants to jump on that train. Lots of people were put off by what KD did, and it wouldn't surprise me if a couple guys looked to join up with Kawhi in SA to try and overthrow the evil empire. If he's signing cheaply, the Spurs could potentially land CP3 and Bosh.

Yeah, if you're talking about signing him cheap to avoid risk, that means he can go pretty much anywhere he wants. I'm guessing Utah wouldn't be his first choice in that scenario.

There'd be an outside shot Utah *could* be if playing time is important to him. I could see him going to Boston with their hole at PF though. He would probably have a lot of options since PF is kind of a weak position for a lot of the upper-level teams. Bosh is a weird dude though, so I wouldn't completely count him out of having interest in Utah. I know one of his main interest is coding though, so I really see him going to Silicon Valley.

I can't see Bosh going to GS and he's a smart dude, I think if he wanted to get back to full-time ballin he would see the potential in playing in Utah.

Anyone know if high altitude helps or worsens his condition?

Experts debate on whether or not the blood clots more easily at altitude. No study has shown that climbers or visitors to high altitude have an increased risk of blood clots in their lungs (pulmonary embolus or PE) or legs (deep venous thrombosis or DVT). For those that already have Protein C deficiency, antiphospholipid syndrome, or some other disorder where the blood clots easily, they may want to take a baby aspirin daily at altitude. Others who have previously had PEs or DVTs, who smoke, or women on birth control or hormone therapy may consider taking an aspirin a day as well.

First of all I don't think he should play basketball his health is more important. If he does decide to play I sure as hell don't want him dying in the Delta Center. We'd always be known as the team that killed Bosh.

Golden State is going to become the revolving door for dying vets to go to get their ring. With their core they can mix and match literally every position for the next 5 years and be in the finals every single year. Every ex-all-star almost ready to retire vet will want to end up there to get their ring in the ring mill since it apparently means something to get an award without working for it.

I mean, yeah, that's been every contender ever. Spurs/Lebron's/Warriors, those are the 3 places to go if you want a legitimate shot at a ring.

You can't possibly be dissing role players for doing so, can you? They are *role players*. If I was one, I'd much rather go to the team that could use me properly and has a reputation for being unselfish and sharing the ball.
 
I suppose he could go become 15 MPG David West and get his ring but I would presume he would likely be more motivated to return to form and playing a big role on a team that could contend to stick it to Riley and the Heat organization.

Lolz to all the OMG he gone die on teh courts!!

A "role player" does not normally have multiple all-star selections on their resume.

The "funny" thing about that lolz is that it could happen.

Infection is convinced his ailment is just a made-up excuse because Miami doesnt want to pay Bosh.

Posting this for the benefit of anyone else who may assume that your woefully inaccurate comment approximates anything I've implied:

Chris Bosh has had significant health problems that has caused him to be ruled out for the season on two separate occasions. He could very well come back and be ruled out for the season for a third time. If history is any precedent for the Heat, having it happen twice would make them absolutely foolish to think third time's a charm. They have $22M/year that they pay him with the bulk being picked up by insurance. If they bring him back, they lose the insurance and if he goes out again it leaves them in a much more complicated financial tangle of dealing with those repercussions financially. Then there's the cap space issue -- if their actions continue to insist they can bring him back (by bringing him back) it conflicts with any argument they could make to the league that he's irreparable and that the league should grant cap space.

So weigh out the cost/benefit analysis from Miami's point of view. We just covered the potential cost. What's the benefit to Miami in him playing? Wade left last summer and they're not exactly contending at the moment. There's just a lot of risk for them bringing him back and not a whole hell of a lot of benefit.

None of these are black and white issues. This isn't a conspiracy by the Heat. People really fail to see how bias actually works and tend to think there would have to be some type of massive conspiracy. Medical diagnoses and and prognoses have significant limitations and there are huge ranges of variabilities, something the general public really does not appreciate. So when the issue is a guy in his 30s with an underlying hypercoagulability and what exactly a safe return to basketball would mean, you'll be faced with a lot of medical uncertainty and an uncertain prognosis, so when you have a lot riding on that decision, as Miami does, you'll have a tendency to have to reconcile your own interests with competing prognoses that are all uncertain, and it's no surprise that it makes a hell of a lot more sense to have that jive with all the other non-medical realities you have in front of you.

Great post. I'm not surprised there hasn't been a retort yet.

Me and him spoke on this issue at length already. He wasn't responding to me as much as just presenting his full thoughts on it for everyone else to see (again).

Hey it's page 3, who has time to read pages 1 and 2?
latest
 
I love it when Jazzfanz think he'd come here for a vet min. Like, why would he come to Utah for the vet min when he could go to the cavs or warriors for the same price? LOL
 
Your right. He's not at risk of having his knees blown out! Only his heart! It's not like a knee injury, his is WAYYYY less severe. His heart is the only thing that's at risk to explode, No worries at all!!!!!
