LeBron James wrapped up his meeting with the Miami Heat and has reportedly not made a decision about where he’ll play next season. He is reportedly considering the Cleveland Cavaliers in addition to the Heat.

If LeBron leaves the Heat, his teammate Chris Bosh could be doing the same. If James leaves Miami, Bosh is reportedly interested in heading to Houston to team up with Dwight Howard and James Harden.

From ESPN:

"If James does choose to leave the Heat, free agent Chris Bosh will sign with the Houston Rockets, sources said. James not rushing to make a choice could put a time squeeze on Bosh. Though he hopes to remain with the Heat along with James, sources said, Bosh has secured a backup offer for four years and $88 million from the Rockets."

It makes for an interesting situation with the Dallas Mavericks set to sign Chandler Parsons to an offer sheet a minute into July 10th. That would give the Rockets three days to match the offer, which they’d likely want to do if Bosh isn’t going to sign. They’ll only know Bosh’s intentions after James has made up his mind putting them in an awkward situation and under a time crunch.
