Miami's post-LeBron plan
BoshMike Ehrmann/Getty ImagesChris Bosh has a max contract that he
must now live up to in Miami.
For years, Erik Spoelstra has maintained that Chris Bosh is the
most important player to the Miami Heat's championship quest.
Well, we're about to find out how true that statement really is.
As the calculus goes, LeBron James might have been the best player
on the Heat roster, but their small-ball system hinged on the 6-
foot-11 Bosh's two-way versatility and array of skills. Perhaps
James had the best talent, but Bosh made it all happen.
Losing James is a crushing blow to the Heat. But we can't question
the Heat's resolve after their best player spurned them Friday to
rejoin Cleveland. The Heat put their money where their mouth is,
handing Bosh the five-year max of $118 million and keeping him in-
house until 2018-19, by which time he will be 35. They didn't only
give Bosh a truckload of money; they offered him the opportunity
to prove he can still be the dominant big man who averaged 20.3
points and 9.3 rebounds in seven seasons in Toronto.
Is Bosh worth the max? And are they smart to build around him?
Let's take a sneak peek into the Heat's post-LeBron era.
Bosh a max player?
From the surface, this looks like a hasty roll of the dice by the
Heat. It's pretty much unprecedented to see a center who averaged
a fairly pedestrian 16.2 points and 6.6 rebounds get offered the
max. Remember when people thought $60 million was too much for
Marcin Gortat? Well, he's the same age as Bosh, put up similar
numbers and got half as much money over the same number of years.

Of course, Gortat has never shown that he's capable of putting up
all-NBA numbers like Bosh. It seems like a lifetime ago that Bosh
averaged 24 points and 10.8 rebounds as the focal point of the
2009-10 Raptors squad that finished 40-42. Bosh paid little
attention to the defensive end of the floor and the numbers showed
his general apathy. With a Bosh and Andrea Bargnani front line
fumbling around defensively, the Raptors finished 29th in
defensive efficiency.
However, with titles on the line, Bosh has revolutionized his game
since his Toronto days. In a phone interview with ESPN.com on
Sunday, Bosh, who was overseas, said he believes that he's a
better player now than "CB4," the nickname he bore in Toronto.
"CB4 is never coming back," he said. "Right now, I think I'm a
much better player. It's funny, even all the way over here in
Africa, people are telling me: 'We need CB4 back.' I can't be
that. That's impossible. But I feel I'm a much better leader and a
much better player. I'm much more prepared for that role
