    Correct. He never verbally agreed to come to Houston. McHale spoke to him over the phone, and came with the impression that Bosh wasn't interested in joining the Rockets.

    He was going to sign with us if LeBron left. There was a Wojbomb stating Bosh was to sign with us after LeBron left. Riley panicked about losing two stars and offered Bosh the 5 year max. There is a reason why Morey traded away Asik and Lin (plus frp) to clear up the cap space needed to sign Bosh to a 4 year max.

    I really hope he doesn't feel the need to 'step up and torch his old team.' That won't work.

    The reunion between MDA and Melo seems awkward.

    60 wins still incoming.

    Is there such a thing as an "official verbal agreement"? Contract lawyer @BimaThug ?

    I’ll believe it when he signs on the dotted line.
