The Miami Heat may not let Chris Bosh play for the team during the 2016–2017 NBA season as it is now reported the Heat may trade Bosh over to the Denver Nuggets. In return, they are to gain Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler.
According to the Miami Herald the team may allow Bosh to continue playing while on blood thinners, but this will limit how many games he can play in the season. However, it is noted that head coach Erik Spoelstra wants to maximize the potential of Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, and Justise Winslow. To do so it will require players to be more active.
"When you're pushing the tempo and attacking, that's a fun style," he explained. "It will only make sense for us to maximize Goran's strengths, Hassan's strengths, Justise Winslow's strengths. Their strengths are their speed, their athleticism.. Young players gravitate to Goran. They want to play that style."
Fansided points out that this will cause further conflict between the Heat and Bosh given that the latter has voiced out his concerns of not getting enough playtime per season.
The report indicates that the Heat trading Bosh for Faried and Chandler would be for everyone's benefit, and this has been proven through the ESPN trade machine which calculates the results based on player statistics. The trade is also under the financial restrictions of the team, meaning both teams will have the sufficient funds for the trade without going over their spending limits.
It is also noted that the Denver Nuggets had expressed interest in Bosh before which makes them one of the more likely teams to accept a trade. However, neither the Miami Heat nor Chris Bosh has made any official statements regarding a possible trade-off at the time being, and it appears Bosh may remain with the Heat until the next season.
