Miami Heat trade rumors 2016: Chris Bosh on his way out?

The Miami Heat are allegedly ready to part ways with one of their superstars as they look to continue to rebuild their team.

Chris Bosh is reportedly on the trading block, and the possible destinations are either the New York Knicks or the Chicago Bulls.

Apparently, Dwyane Wade has been trying to recruit Bosh to move to the Bulls as they hope to build a super team in Illinois with Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo.

However, it is also said that one of the biggest reasons the Heat are considering a move to trade Bosh is because of his health.

Bosh has been out of action due to blood clots in his lungs that have prohibited him from playing.

When on the floor, he is a productive player, averaging 18 points per game and 7.3 rebounds a night in his six seasons with the Heat.

However, in his last two seasons, Bosh has only managed to play 44 and 53 games respectively, which has cost the Heat a lot of wins as they clearly miss their big man on the floor.

There are rumors that also mentioned that the Heat are on the fence on using blood thinners to help Bosh play as it may have adverse effects on his health in the long run.

It is an extremely tough decision for the Heat, especially with Bosh's contract that sees him getting paid $23.7 million in the coming year, with his deal extending up to the 2018–19 season where he is set to earn a little under $27 million.

With that, the Heat are seriously looking for offers from other teams so that they could offload that deal and use the money to bring in some other talent that would play every night.

Bosh's resumé includes two NBA championships in 2011–12 and 2012–13 and 11 consecutive All-Star appearances.

Above everything else, everyone hopes that Bosh's health continues to improve so that he may still get back on the court for the NBA.
