Heat waiting until March 1 to waive Bosh

[Easy-E]

Wait

Y'all think this about the playoffs???!

His salary comes off the cap if he plays 9 or less games before the end of February 2017. That's why.

Y'all want him to b on the cap for the next three yrs?

If he gets waived after march and signs a deal next year,he'll be on miami's cap...

The Heat could give 2 fukks about Chris Bosh, or any player for that matter. This benefits them. They are not doing this to "save him from himself"

Link?

That doesn't make sense.

 

[Serious]

Why the Heat waiving Chris Bosh would be the best thing for both parties

Waiving him would also potentially allow Miami to remove Bosh’s $25 million-plus per year from the team’s salary cap sheet going forward. This would only occur if Bosh, once waived, could not find another team willing to play him 25 games in any given season. If Bosh’s salary were removed from the cap sheet — even though he’d still get paid — the Heat would become major players in 2017 free agency.

riley burning bridges left and right
if this is how he treats, lebron wade and bosh, does he really think hes gonna be able to sign superstar during free agency? lmao
good luck

 

[Serious]

Maybe it would be different if a player died now that Silver is commissioner

Stern fukked the Celtics over when they players died

This actually happened I need some references.

What exactly did he do to lebron? The only mistake he's made to this point was with Wade. Bosh isn't going to play again for someone. I wish he could, but his health is at risk.

Who is going to sign a guy who keeps getting blood clots again? Man could die out there.

Why keep him out until March 1st specifically?

I think you missed the part about waiving after February.

Thus article doesn't even meation it.

Dan Lebatard is in with MIA and has been saying it for months.

They also have to do what's in the best interest of the team. It's not like anyone is going to take the risk when he could die out there. The argument would have weight if it was a condition that he could play through.

 

[Ashyneezz]

No team would sign him if he isn't cleared and have him die on the court. No team would want that type of publicity

24. Someone signs Chris Bosh for the minimum
The most likely course of action as of now in this murky, sad situation, per sources all around it: The Heat wait until after March 1 to waive Bosh so that he is not eligible to appear in the postseason for any team that signs him. At that point, Bosh's mammoth salary would vanish from Miami's cap sheet, freeing Riley to plop his rings in front of one or two stars this summer.

Bosh wants to play, and some team will absolutely sign him for the minimum -- even if it's just for this season. Bosh is still going to get all of his money from Miami, and suitors will try to coax him into signing through 2017-18.

That is Miami's financial nightmare: The Heat spend a gazillion on free agents this summer, and Bosh plays at least 25 games elsewhere in 2017-18 -- at which point, NBA rules require his salary nestle back atop Miami's cap number. That could send the Heat flying into luxury tax hell. Miami hasn't found a middle ground that would allow it to waive Bosh and proceed with financial certainty. Bosh is under no obligation to provide them with one.

Meanwhile, signing Bosh on the cheap is a no-harm, no-foul move for a team with an open roster spot and the patience for a thorough medical evaluation.

When Reggie Lewis died, Stern made his salary count against the cap for the remainder of his contract (two more years).
