http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17619057/miami-heat-clear-chris-bosh-return-failed-physical i wonder if the Heat found a lab that gives them the test results they want? if Bosh plays 10 or more games this year then his salary counts towards the 2017-18 cap. | ||

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17642995/chris-bosh-career-miami-heat-likely-pat-riley-says from a salary cap perspective the Heat can remove Bosh's salary from taking up any cap space if Bosh does not return to the NBA until March. this is a good move by the Heat. This crap about how much Spoelstra loves Bosh and his family is a bunch of BS. | ||

Shortly after the news broke that Bosh was done... Bosh thanked "Miami" but did not thank the "Miami Heat". the most likely scenario is not death. none of the elite athletes using blood thinners has died. the most likely scenario is this: Bosh goes on a cycled blood thinning protocol and this allows him to play 10 or 20 or 30 games. Then he has complications that show up on his blood tests and he has to quit like Pascal Dupuis had to quit. Meanwhile, Miami is on the hook for another year of salary on their cap. Also, they have a good part of their offensive scheme revolving around a guy who can't play half the year and in the playoffs. Miami is trying to avoid all this so they are just claiming its medically impossible for him to play. When really... its only improbable its not impossible. Its been done before at an elite level many times dating back to the 1980s with much more primitive protocols and testing than hematologists have at their disposal now. This is Pat "by any means necessary" Riley at work. Spoelstra is just following the Riley agenda by "loving" BOsh and his 5 kids as they tell him to GTFO. | ||

The science is constantly evolving. Miami did a nice job of covering their asses by saying Bosh won`t play for them. The Miami Heat did not say Bosh will never play in the NBA again. Its a very good stance and a very carefully thought out position they`ve taken. Riley is good. Bosh is not in the same situation as a guy like Dennis Boyd or that Soccer player guy currently playing on blood thinners. These guys only play 1 or 2 times per week. He needs to be able to play 4 times a week and so far only a couple of NHL-ers have pulled that off long term. Most NHL-ers have short term success and fail long term and retire. They don't die because they are being so closely monitored with emergency medical staff on site. The low probability of success combined with constant uncertainty is enough for Riley to pull the plug on the Bosh comeback project. I'd do the exact same thing. Its been fun to watch the NBA, NBAPA, Riley and Bosh go at it these last few months. If you want to get angry/annoyed about it... have fun. me? I`m getting more popcorn and preparing for the next episode. | ||

I'm not at all annoyed at the situation the annoying part is you. This last post is far better then the one I commented on because you are not drawing as concrete conclusions as you were in the previous post. i never drew any conclusions.. its all probabilities. if you want to half-read my stuff have fun.  | ||

Bosh just fired his long time agent Henry Thomas of CAA http://nba.nbcsports.com/2016/09/28/report-chris-bosh-fires-agent/ so is Bosh a free agent? do the Heat have to waive him? what now? can Bosh go play in Europe? i wonder if Bosh thinks his agent is really a double-agent and gave the Heat too much info. or maybe Thomas is advising Bosh to retire and Bosh doesn't want to hear it. EDIT: Bosh can become a free agent February 9th... the Heat will waive him through the league and he is officially a free agent at that point. | ||

Short of any real evidence backing up Spoelstra's proclamations of love: Spoelstra "loves" Bosh about as Jerry Maguire "loves" that college QB ( Kushman?) in the Jerry Maguire movie. Its just BS to grease the skids on Bosh's exit so other players and free agents won't get mad at the Heat. now , onto head injuries. ya, so Brad Beal has his 2nd concussion in 9 months and every media outlet every where is calling it a "mild concussion". with all that's been discussed about head injuries you'd figure people would not throw around the term "mild concussion". its a BS term. its a concussion. full stop. If Beal has another concussion in 2016 I'd be concerned about the viability of his career. 3 concussions in 1 year is a recipe for disaster. Washington should seriously consider giving Beal the first 40 games off. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wizards-insider/wp/2016/09/29/bradley-beal-held-out-of-wizards-training-camp-practice-with-a-mild-concussion/ On September 29 2016 13:25 zulu_nation8 wrote: idk what we're arguing about but let's chill, Bosh is a very unique case, my guess is he won't step on an NBA court again. what i wonder is .. at this point today.. after the Heat physical and whatever it uncovered... is he on blood thinners for only 12 hours a day while playing/practising ball 2 hours a day? if he is and not developing complications he's got a shot at playing again. if he is on blood thinners almost all the time and practising basketball once every 2 weeks he is fooling himself. | ||
