When free agency starts, Chris Bosh said he isn’t going to wait on LeBron to make a decision.
(Transcript from ESPN Rumors, interview by SNY.tv.)
“Anytime you have the opportunity to play with certain guys, you have to take that into consideration. When it all goes down, he’s gonna be one of the all-time greats,” Bosh told SNY.tv on Thursday. “At the same time, I can’t just sit around and wait. I have to be proactive with my choices and what’s gonna make me happy. I have to make sure I take my time and make the right decision.”
Bosh considers the Knicks to be an option for him.
“There are a lot of teams out there I’m considering including my home team, the Raptors,” Bosh said. “It’s gonna be crazy and confusing and I’m looking forward to it.”
What about the Nets?
“I think each team has its own advantages over the other,” Bosh said. “New Jersey has a young core, so does New York. The coaching styles are a bit different. A lot of people are excited about the new (Nets) owner. It’s interesting. Everybody is pretty much excited about the makeup of the team and the direction the Nets are headed. It might work out; it might not. You always have to consider a lot.”
While it appears that LeBron is going to milk this for all it’s worth, I doubt Bosh would have to wait too long to get a decision from LeBron’s camp if the two want to play with each other. However, if LeBron drags his feet, we could see the Heat sign Bosh quickly; the idea of playing in South Florida with Dwyane Wade has to be appealing and there are enough other quality big men out there that the Heat can use as leverage.
