On Monday morning Chris Bosh began talking directly to Houston Rockets management. They are slowly inching towards a four-year, $88 million deal. With that said, his preference is to stay in Miami with LeBron James.

Before making his choice, Bosh, who opted out of his final two years with Miami worth $42 million has basically decided to wait until James makes his decision.

With the recent acquisition of Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts by the Heat, not to mention their first round draftee Shabazz Napier, many people believe James will be returning to Miami.

However as time goes on doubt is beginning to settle into Bosh’s head having him lean towards the Rockets as a safety option.

While Bosh is willing to take a pay cut to stay with Miami – something around five-years $80 million – the Head have reportedly been trying to get him to accept less for more free agency spending money via ESPN.

While the Rockets would still have to cut ties with Jeremy Lin to give Bosh a max contract, they claim it is just as easily done as it is said.

Born in Dallas, Texas the ‘plan B’ option of signing with the Rockets would be a great fit for Bosh. He would play alongside Dwight Howard and James Harden and give them their first real threat to shoot the mid-range jump shot according to Yahoo.
