Chris Bosh can become a free agent next month, but has made it pretty clear that he wants to stay in Miami. Well if anyone is confused, he’s now being SUPER clear about it & will even be open to taking a pay cut.
Hit the jump for the report…
Via ESPN:
In an interview with Dan Le Batard’s ESPN Radio show in Miami on Tuesday, Bosh said he wants to stay with the Heat.
“I don’t want to go anywhere. I like it here. It’s Miami,” Bosh said. “Everybody wants to come here. Yeah.”
He has two seasons and $42 million left on his contract with the Heat but can opt out before June 30 and become an unrestricted free agent.
Bosh made his eighth All-Star team this season and figures to have multiple suitors, including the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, if he becomes a free agent. He could sign a five-year contract worth in excess of $100 million. He also could do what he did in 2010, when he accepted less than the max contract to sign with Miami, taking a six-year, $110 million deal with the opt-out this summer.
Bosh indicated he was open to that option again, saying: “If that’s what it takes.”
