Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

EVERYONE eventually hates Shaq bro. When Shaq moves on from TNT he will have burnt that bridge too.

His jovial attitude is a smoke screen for the type of person he really is. At least, on a professional level.

if he signs I would imagine those payments are null and void

Chris Bosh will be paid the $52.1M left on his contract in 120 twice-monthly installments of $434,393 – staring 11/15/17 and ending 11/1/22.

The NBA's Bobby Bonilla,getting almost a mil a month for the next 5 years

Bobby Bo getting a check until 2035 :x

Honestly seems like Bosh the type to rather play for a cheaper deal than take the big free money if he can't play

Holy feels man, Bosh being waived hit me

 

[dmbrhs]

So is Bosh banned from playing or wut 

Houston could use a stretch 4 

He can play, but no team's medical staff would clear him.

Even though it's been inevitable for a while,still feelsbadman

He would still get paid. Just means that salary would go back on to the Heat's cap space.

I think Darius Miles had a similar situation.

I see. Welp, terrible way for his career to turn out but at least he alive

Dude blares "first of tha month"  every July no doubt

Yes. Should have added that. The rest of Bosh's contract won't affect the Heat's cap room because they were granted a waiver due to his medical condition. However, if he signs somewhere and plays, then it kicks back in because the waiver would be void.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

So Deron Williams career has to be over, right?

Unless someone else wants him, I'd say see him in the 3League (or whatever its called).

Bruh why bibby look soooooo much better than Deron tho??

 

[buc em]

Part of me thinks we should go into tank mode. Being a 5 or 6 seed in the East isn't going to get us anywhere.

True but then you wouldn't be able to even acknowledge the presence of said high draft picks on your team because they haven't proved anything yet and you should have nothing to be excited about.

 

[d3si]

Sad to hear about Bosh

I wish him all the best

Respect

Yeah. He has to play 10 games. Memphis f'd over Portland when they signed Darius Miles to a 10 day contract.

When they received the “career-ending” exemption for Miles, the Blazers were able to remove the $27 million he was owed for this year (and the next two) off of the salary cap (they still had to pay whatever insurance did not cover, but it was off of the cap). If Miles plays two more games, that money comes back on to their cap, and instead of having $16 million in cap space this offseason, they will only have $7 million.

I like Bosh, I would like to see him play again if he would be cleared and it's legit

Pretty much the only way a team would sign him is to screw over Miami. Which, I doubt any team is trying to do at the moment, especially when the waiver was for a potentially life-threatening condition.

How can your love of the game be greater than living life itself? I mean you have to live to play the game, so I don't understand why Bosh was still trying to force the issue. I understand being passionate about something, but you have to be alive to even have that passion. Take the money and enjoy life with your wife and kids, you already put in work.

Get your Paper Chris.

Would love to see Bosh back on an NBA Court but not if it's to the detriment of his health.

Part of it involves the odds of the worst case scenario playing out on the court. It's a small percent chance, but any chance is too much. He obviously doesn't think he's invincible, but he's also playing the odds. The problem is, the NBA doesn't want even the remote possibility of another Reggie Lewis situation.
