If the Heat do really bad, could Chris Bosh be on the way to BOS?

[Monkhouse]

Would you take him, and for what price? I like Bosh, and he has stepped up this year, but hes a PF, not a C.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

No sir! Bosh can keep that check in Mia! He's been good this season but goodness the money. 0.0

[rondohondo]

He is not a go to guy or rim protector .  I would like if we could get Hibbert next to him, but Bosh is getting paid to much to try and trade for him and still be able to sign Hibbert.

I'd love to have Bosh here. Fantastic player.

I don't think Miami will trade Bosh though. Riley doesn't strike me as the "blow it up" type. He hates losing, hates rebuilding. No patience for it. Gave up coaching last time Miami had to go through one. And that last rebuilding period was forced not chosen. I can't see a guy like Riley giving up a big man as talented as Chris Bosh to purposefully lose more games so he can have multiple seasons of horrific losses in order to gain draft picks.

Chris Bosh gives him a foundation to build a team around. That is something valuable and to be cherished which is how I expect Riley to view Bosh. So long as Bosh is there, Miami has hope to build a better team. They will always attract FAs. Always have, always will. Just need to give guys a reason to come there. Bosh is a huge part of that reason.

Probably not trading him.
He's a top 15 NBA player and trading him away at age 30 would be like shooting yourself.
only way they'd do it is for the number one or two pick for someone like Okafur.

[SHAQATTACK]

Unless HE wants to leave for some reason or they are passed,their prime, or there  is major turmoil ...star players aren't traded away .

I don't see happening .

[CFAN38]

Looking at the Heat roster and contract status I think its very safe to say Bosh is not being traded. He was just signed to a 5 year deal, Wade and Deng both have this season and player options for next. They also owe a top ten protected pick to the 76ers in 2015 or 16 then it becomes unprotected in 2017 so a tank would have to happen now and they need to be out of lottery by 2017. Aside from Bosh they have very little $$ tied up after 2016 only McRoberts and a team option on Napier. I would expect that Riley figures to make a big FA push that year with a 32 yr old Bash as his key spokesman.

ha!  very strange that you bring this up as I JUST thought about this to myself the other day. 

I came to the following conclusion.  No.  I would not be interested in trading for Bosh.  Here's why

-What we'd have to include in the trade would likely be too high
-He's already won 2 rings..He took the money to settle down in Miami. I doubt he has any passion or interest in leaving Miami regardless of how good/bad they are. 
-If he cared more about winning more titles > money he would have already signed in Houston or back with Toronto
-His price tag.  He's a max player who isn't a #1. 

Very good player.  But I'll pass unless it's a steal

[gpap]

Would love it, but I don't see it happening.

[pearljammer10]

I'd love him here but Miami signed him to that lengthy contract for a reason.

[Celtics4ever]

He'd be an immediate upgrade, but I do not see them moving him.
