Bosh has a clotting disorder. He is at risk for ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, among others. Even though he is likely on a novel anticoagulant, among other medications, this treatment does not prevent clots from forming. It simply reduces the chance of it happening. Furthermore, anticoagulation puts him at risk when playing a contact, physical sport, as his chances for internal bleeding go way up. All this coupled with the fact that he hasn't played basketball in two years and is on the wrong side of 32, why bother? Medicine is a science. But it is not an exact science - it would be bad medicine to clear Bosh to play.

NHL players have played with the same condition for years. It’s doable, although after this long I wonder whether the reward is worth the risk. Beyond health risks, he’s old and out of game shape.

I think the risk is too great, because the perceived reward is too low. If we're talking about KD/Lebron, I'm sure many GM's would be willing to take the risk.

If this had any chance, I think that Cleveland would have already signed him.

If he is in shape then sign him, zero risk and potential big reward
If he dies he dies, we all die, it's not like driving or flying won't got you killed

Wow, what a heartless thing to say. To say that so matter-of-factly is scary.

What a ridiculous way to think about it

I agree give him a shot. If he dies it's not like we haven't seen it before.

Then you should never leave your house to "not exposure to danger" because Car accidents kills millions times more than clog disorders
