Ultimately, Bosh was forced to accept reality.
According to the new labor agreement, in such situations where a player and team buy out a contract, the remaining salary won't count against the salary cap, but the team and insurance company still need to pay the remaining contract salary to the player.
After negotiations, Bosh's remaining more than 50 million in salary will be paid out to him in 120 installments, with 433,000 US Dollars paid every half month.
The Rockets did this not out of benevolence, but because they were eager to free up space. They had already reached a verbal agreement with Eric Gordon, and that agreement required the salary cap space created by Bosh's retirement.
Many players sent their best wishes to Bosh.
As a former opponent, Hansen also tweeted his blessings on social media: "When your jersey is retired, I hope to see your Dragon King roar once more."
But I must say, the NBA really excels in its professionalism.
