Houston has a deadline for matching Dallas' offer to Parsons.  They also have a max offer on table to Bosh, reportedly.  They have to revoke Bosh offer before matching Parsons, so this imposes a deadline on Bosh.  Would be interesting if Bosh is forced to make his own decision to sign with Houston and not lose out on their max offer.  This would unravel the entire house at Miami, and give James an easy way to say "bye bye" as he goes to Cleveland.

Let Bosh do the dirty work.

I think the cards are already in place.  We're just waiting for someone to show their hand.

I find it funny that the first domino is the signing of Chandler Parsons.

Mark Cuban basically said no to the idea of waiting around for indecision 2014!

Currently the Rockets don't have the cap room to sign Bosh to his max.  If the Rockets don't intend to keep Parsons, it gets them a lot closer to having the room to do so.  So waiting three days might make it easier for Houston to afford Bosh, while tying up Dallas' decision-making ability for the next day or two.

In short, I don't see Bosh forcing LeBron's hand, unless LeBron goes into next week, which I also don't see happening.
