Just a few days after saying that he can’t wait for LeBron to make a decision, Chris Bosh has seemingly changed his tune.
“Am I waiting on LeBron? Pretty much,” Bosh said. “I think everyone has to. I have to as well.”
He went on to say this:
“He’s a great player and I would be crazy to think that all the teams that are considering him, they would talk to somebody else first,” Bosh said. “I think everybody is going to be going at him first.
“They’ll probably call him at 12:01,” Bosh added. “Hopefully they’ll call me at 12:02.”
All indications are that LeBron’s camp plans to take its time with the decision and may even make a few visits to listen to pitches from front office management. But make no mistake, there will be teams that know that they are out of the running for LeBron’s services that will call Bosh at 12:01 AM.
It’s strange — there is a persistent rumor that Bosh will follow LeBron wherever he goes, yet Bosh is on the record as saying that he wants to be ‘the man’ and not a sidekick. If he’s true to his word, then he’ll have an opportunity to come to terms with a team before LeBron does, though if winning is really the most important thing (also Bosh’s own words), then it would behoove him to join forces with the self-proclaimed King (and Dwyane Wade too).
