By Josh Hill
The drama of NBA Free Agency has extended beyond LeBron James and has begun to absorb other players into the rumor mill as everyone from Kevin Love to Mike Miller now apparently play pivotal roles in getting LeBron James to go one place or the other.

One player who is waiting out things with LeBron is his former teammate Chris Bosh. After opting out before free agency, Bosh has a max offer on the table from the Houston Rockets who are awaiting his decision on what to do. Bosh can’t make a decision though until he finds out what LeBron wants to do, but a report last night seemed to suggest otherwise.
According to Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston, the Rockets haven’t yet heard a decision on the max contract they offered to Chris Bosh one way or the other and it appears Bosh has not yet made up his mind.
"The representative for free agent forward Chris Bosh told FOX26 Sports his client has not made any decisions about his future.ESPN reported Wednesday night Bosh had decided he would sign with the Houston Rockets if LeBron James did not return to the Miami Heat.“Chris has not made any decisions at this point,” said Henry Thomas, Bosh’s agent, in a text message to FOX26 Sports."
This makes sense since the Rockets offer has always seemed like a backup plan for Bosh more than something he’s actively after. There’s no doubt he’d take the max salary and pocket $96 million, but at the end of the day he wants to come back to Miami but will only do so if LeBron James decides to do so as well.
