The Miami Heat have been allowed to start the process of removing Chris Bosh from their salary cap since Feb. 9, but he’s still on the roster. So why have they delayed releasing him?
According to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson, the Heat aren’t in a rush for two reasons: (1) they don’t need the roster spot yet, as no current free agents peak their interests, and (2) they haven’t given up on the idea of trading him.
Here’s Jackson:
“Miami want to keep alive the not-very-likely possibility of being able to trade Bosh (after the season) to a team that might want to trade something Miami wants or a team that believes he could play or (as was the case before last month’s trade deadline) a team that needed to get to the cap floor.
