He is really turning down 88 Million from Houston
Sources: Chris Bosh agrees to $118 million deal to remain with Heat
Chris Bosh has reached agreement on a five-year, $118 million contract to re-sign with the
Miami Heat, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
After
LeBron James announced he was leaving the Heat to return to the
Cleveland Cavaliers, Bosh strongly considered a four-year, $88 million offer to sign with the
Houston Rockets. He will get an additional guaranteed $30 million by re-signing with Miami.
The Heat are pushing to keep
Dwyane Wade and
Udonis Haslem on shorter deals, sources told Yahoo Sports. Bosh, Wade and Haslem all opted out of their contracts to give the Heat cap flexibility to improve their roster after James became a free agent.
The Rockets traded
Jeremy Lin and a 2015 first-round draft pick earlier Friday to clear cap space for Bosh's offer. Houston is expected to match the
Dallas Mavericks' three-year, $46 million offer sheet for Chandler Parsons.
