Chris Bosh tweeted "should I stay or should I go?", several western conference NBA teams hope for the latter and eagerly line up to acquire the Toronto all-star forward.
"Everything [the Rockets] hope to accomplish this off-season begins with the acquisition of Bosh,"
writes The Houston Chronicle.
Houston refers to Bosh as a "key piece", and signing the Raptor is the club's first priority to address their need for front-court depth. The Rockets believe that Bosh will play alongside centre
Yao Ming, who is expected to recover from a foot injury and will return to play soon.
Los Angeles is linked to signing Bosh and the Lakers may try to deal their young 22 year-old, seven footer Andrew Bynum,

writes that Dallas' all-star Dirk Nowitzki may part ways in a team shake-up. Signing the 26 year-old Bosh, a Dallas native, will "bring him home". Conversely, Nowitzki will be given a "fresh start" and an opportunity for the Raptors to "collect another European player".
Chris Bosh had career-high statistics in the 2009-2010 season averaging 24 points, 10 rebounds and shot almost 52 percent in the field.
