The Miami Heat just freed up $25.3 million to sign free agents for the upcoming season by formally parting ways with Chris Bosh.
As a part of the announcement, the Heat has decided to retire his No. 1 jersey. Miami Heat President Pat Riley said, “…We will forever be indebted to CB for how he changed his team and led us to four trips to the NBA Finals and two NBA championships.” “He is, without a doubt, one of the greatest players in the history of the franchise.”
Bosh has been unable to return to the court due to medical issues stemming from blot clots, which likely was an underlying reason he couldn’t pass the preseason physical. This doesn’t take away from his greatness, averaging 19.2 points and 8.5 rebounds over his NBA career.
His last deal with Miami was worth $118 million and he’ll still get his salary, plus 26.8 million for next season. If deemed fit to play, Bosh may even return to the court with another team. Now that’s what you call going out with a BANG!
