With LeBron James waiting for Heat president Pat Riley to revamp the roster and with Dwyane Wade leaving $42 million on the table at age 32, Chris Bosh is the member of the Big Three most likely to break away.
Multiple league sources say there will be a close-to-max market for Bosh if Carmelo Anthony and James stay with their respective teams.
One of those people, an executive with a rival team, said the growing belief around the league is that Bosh would prefer a four-year max deal with another team to a discounted longer deal with Miami.
