And just like that, Miami Heat free agency has gone plaid.
ESPN's Chris Broussard is reporting that the Houston Rockets have offered Chris Bosh a max deal for 4 years, $96 million. In addition to that, Broussard says Bosh is considering the offer after supposedly having had a conversation with LeBron over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Yahoo! Sports reports that Bosh had direct conversations with the Rockets Monday morning, and that he prefers to stay in Miami if LeBron stays too. But, no one knows what LeBron is going to do until he meets with Pat Riley.
Naturally, Heat Twitter is having a meltdown.

You can add to the growing list of noise surrounding this off-season, noise that may or may not actually matter when LeBron and Riley sit across from each other later this week.
Still. Things have officially gone off the rails.

That we're discussing the core of a team that has made 4 straight finals & won 2 titles possibly not staying together is mind blowing really
