Rockets believe Bosh to sign 'soon'

The Houston Rockets believe they will have commitment "soon" from Chris Bosh to sign with the team after Miami Heat teammate LeBron James announced Friday he is leaving to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Rockets have made a maximum offer to Bosh of four years, $88 million, according to sources.

The Rockets' plan now is to complete their agreed-upon trade of Omer Asik to the New Orleans Pelicans and trade away point guard Jeremy Lin by Sunday, sources say.
