Bosh is the single best pick and roll defender in the entire league...his mobility and quickness is an irreplaceable part of what made the heat's defense effective during their current run...and his versatility on offense is the key to the revamped small-ball offense that shot their offensive efficiency into the stratosphere after what was bit of a struggle (relatively speaking) in the first year...he's up there with melo as the most disrespected star players in the league right now...to ask that guy, who has already sacrificed so much already, to take ANOTHER pay cut to upwards of 7, 8 million a year is an ultimate slap in the face..i understand wanting to win, but to me it wouldn't be worth it...you're losing $ and falling victim to this strange phenomenon that magically turns the perception of any player teamed up with lebron into that of some bum ass role player that the king is burdened with carrying...it's not like bosh is getting any kind of credit or "legacy points" whatsoever for winning rings in MIA, he went from being considered the best pf in the league to people acting like he's big baby davis or something in the span of 4 years...he's an elite defender capable of giving you 20plus a game still in his prime and people are scoffing at him asking for more than 1 or 2 mil per year than Gortat

...if somebody like houston were to pry him away from the heat by actually paying him what he's worth, they'll fukk around and win the chip next year (bosh's pnr defense and floor spacing paired with d12 rim protection and harden flop trolling to 20 ft's a game =

)
