        Yeah but he probably apologizes to himself after.

          What is Ray doing btw ? He doesn't even seem like he's actively trying to make a roster. I'am not really sure why he hasn't announced retirement yet.

            Bucks swap Tyler Ennis for Michael Beasley.

            Not that this move will be what sinks the Bucks though...they're completely ****ed without Middleton.

              He sends in his resume to the Cavs/Warriors looking for a job. No response, so he waits 6 months before doing so again.

                Think it is the other way around.. Those teams call him and he reads the offers over kale salads

                  The Miami Heat concluded that Chris Bosh could not be cleared after evidence of continued clotting was discovered in a physical, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.The team couldn't reveal the diagnosis as per the collective bargaining agreement, but did say in a release that Bosh can't be cleared and there is no timetable for his return.Blood clots ended the forward's last two seasons. After the latest flare-up was discovered in February, Heat doctors warned Bosh that his career was likely over.The latest complication is not considered life-threatening if treated, but Bosh cannot play while on blood thinners. There is a significant risk that Bosh could get cut on the court.Bosh insisted all summer that he was healthy and ready to return. The Heat stayed mum publicly, but reports suggest they held a similar expectation that he would be cleared. However, all hope of a return was ruled out when an issue arose in his blood work resulting from the physical earlier this week.While Bosh's future is unclear, the Heat will not allow him to suit up without receiving medical clearance.Jackson notes that the entire ordeal has strained Bosh's relationship with the franchise. Bosh found a doctor in March who was receptive to clearing him, but Heat doctors strongly disagreed and kept him on the sidelines.Bosh still has three guaranteed seasons and $76 million remaining on his current contract, which he'll receive regardless of whether he plays. The Heat could apply to remove his contract from their books (for salary-cap purposes) after Feb. 9, if a doctor jointly appointed by the league and the Players Association agrees that Bosh's condition is life-threatening.


                  Man this sucks. Hate to see anybody end their career on any other terms than they're own. This has to be killing Chris.

                    He needs to just retire man.

                    His body cant handle the impact anymore.

                    It's just not worth it man.. ..nobody wants to see him die.

                    I'm sure the rook from last isaiah austi. year can talk to him about it when he couldn't play due to a condition.

                    Bosh is well spoken though. H3 can be an analyst or assistant but man he can't risk his life.

                    Its better that they found it all before it was too late

                        You know Riley is gonna try to get that exception money.

                        However if he does, it looks even worse that he didn't want to pay Wade.

                          Man, I was just looking up Bosh a couple days to see what was up. This sucks.

                            There is no exception money they get from this...

                              They recoup some of his money if he doesn't play for a full year. So in like February or something if Bosh hasn't play, which is looking like it isn't going to happen, they will regain that max slot to use this offseason.

                                Bosh, 32, is due $76 million over the next three seasons of his five-year, $118 million contract. And while he is expected to be paid all of that even if he doesn’t play again, there is a mechanism for the Heat to clear his substantial cap hits for the final two seasons of the contract — $25.3 million in 2017-18 and $26.8 million in 2018-19.

                                The Heat cannot apply to remove Bosh’s salary from its cap until Feb. 9, the anniversary of his last game.

                                The Heat, at that point, would need to release Bosh, and his remaining salary then would be cleared from Miami’s cap if “a doctor that is jointly selected by the league and players association agree his condition is career-ending, or severe enough to put him at risk if he continues playing,” according to the NBA’s labor agreement.

                                That cap relief, which now seems likely to be granted, would leave the Heat with about $42 million in salary cap space next summer, with a projected $102 million NBA cap. That figure could rise if forward Josh McRoberts exercises an opt-out next summer or if salary is shed in trades.

                                If Bosh eventually proves doctors wrong and returns to play, he would not be permitted to play for the Heat.

                                If he joined another team and played at least 25 games, his salary of $25.3 million in 2017-18 and $26.8 million in 2018-19 would go back on the Heat’s cap.

                                But that almost assuredly would not happen until the 2017-18 season, if it ever happened at all, meaning the Heat likely would be able to go into free agency next summer without Bosh’s contract on the books.
