Miami's pitch to Bosh: "Are you sure you trust the situation here even though LeBron is noncommittal? We do not question your loyalty by passing on our low-ball offer --- you are known to be a high IQ individual and it never made financial sense... As such, one of our two FA signings is your replacement at that Power Forward position --- so you would have to play Center, even though you hate playing center. Given the situation, and since we are family, we highly encourage you to do what makes sense for your family... Seeing that Houston offer, it's just too good to pass up, we just cannot compete with it... You can play with a great cast, in your home state for Max money... It's been a great run, thank you for your efforts and we're sorry to see you go (...but we need you to go, so we can shock the world' and reinvest your salary into Melo to keep James here, buhahah)
Bosh: Pat, I wanted you to hear it from me first... I spoke with the Rockets.... and I told them: to take the money and shove it!! my loyalty lies with you, LeBron and the Heat organization!!! Big 3 Reunion Baby!!
Pat: dammit Bosh, there is no big 3, you are a third wheel. I need you to leave. You are the tool I was referencing when I talked about re-tooling.
Bosh: Thank you for your candor, Pat. I can take a hint: I will leave the Houston option open and wait for for LBJ to make a decision first. I just want what's best for the Heat.
Pat: dammit Bosh, by wanting to stay you are going to inhibit us from signing Melo, which will lead to LBJ leaving. You are going to set our organization back 10 years.
Bosh: I won't abandon you even if LBJ leaves, Pat. You can build around me.
Pat: dammit Bosh
