7. Figure out the Chris Bosh Situation
[xyz-ihs snippet=”in-article-fb”]
This is a tough one. Since the 2015-16 playoffs began, Bosh maintained that he was healthy enough to return to the court for Miami, but the team had his overall health in mind and kept him from coming back. Bosh is the highest paid player on the team and still has three years and roughly $75 million left on his contract and you better believe Miami is hoping and praying he can fulfill expectations.
He is slated to begin the 2016-17 season fully healthy, but many experts believe Bosh should hang up his sneakers and retire now before he puts himself at further risk. Former NBA player Bo Kimble is one of those people. In an interview with TMZ last month, he expressed his deep concerns for Bosh’s health:
“There are so many other things he could do with his life,” Kimble said. “Hank Gathers had the same thing. Hank could have been a comedian, an actor or did speaking engagements. It’s not worth the risk. I would just say absolutely not, don’t do it.”
While the concerns for Bosh’s health are understandable, Bosh wants nothing else but to return to the Heat and compete at the highest level possible. If Bosh can retain his position as the focal point of the team next season, and do so without missing extended time, the Heat will be granted the opportunity to assess their team identity as well as their plans for the future. Banking on Bosh is easily amongst the top priorities for Miami entering next season and for years to come.
