Keeping Bosh on roster and inactive could draw further union scrutiny.
The National Basketball Players Association is monitoring the Miami Heat's approach with sidelined Chris Bosh, including the possibility of the team keeping the All-Star power forward on the roster long enough to prevent him from becoming playoff eligible for another team.
A party familiar with the NBPA's approach on Friday told the Sun Sentinel that the union is examining the situation, while also remaining cognizant of the ongoing medical and privacy issues with Bosh, who failed his preseason physical after missing the second half of the past two seasons due to blood clots.
The union currently is involved in the delicate stages of formulating a new collective-bargaining agreement, with a more proactive stance on Bosh expected to be taken should the distancing of the Heat with Bosh continue to a point where Bosh could possibly resume his career, the party familiar with the situation told the Sun Sentinel.
Under the collective-bargaining agreement, the Heat could seek relief of the remaining salary-cap charge on Bosh's contract after Feb. 9, the one-year anniversary of his last game played, with the full $76 million over three seasons still to be paid to Bosh, through a potential combination of directly through the Heat and insurance.
However, should Bosh return to play 25 games -- regular-season and playoffs -- in a season, then Bosh's cap hit would revert to the Heat's books. By waiting until after March 1 to waive Bosh, which, by NBA rules would make him ineligible for another team's playoff roster, the Heat could effectively eliminate that 25-game possibility for this season, allowing the team to move into 2017 free agency with that additional $25 million in cap space.
Udonis Haslem says staying in touch with Chris Bosh still a priority
Bosh has been away from the Heat since his failed physical in late September. Heat President Pat Riley said he did not expect to have Bosh with the team at practices or games, a role Bosh took the previous two seasons when sidelined. Bosh has not approached the team about returning to the bench or locker room, according to a party familiar with the situation.
Bosh has stated in his just-completed video series that he intends to return to the NBA, while acknowledging that the return would not be with the Heat. Bosh has dropped his previous representation, with the Heat yet to be informed of his selection of a new agent.
The union has dealt with previous cases of teams asking players to remain away while continuing to pay those players their full salaries.
By rule, if Bosh were to remain with the team through at least Feb. 9 or even through March 1, the Heat would have to count Bosh among the league limit of 15 players for the regular season, listing him inactive on game nights going forward. Because of the severity of Bosh's illness, the Heat are prohibited from listing the reason for Bosh's absences without his permission.
Bosh would be required to cooperate with the Heat should the team eventually seek to remove his salary-cap hit from their payroll.
Per the collective-bargaining agreement:
"If a Team applies to have a player's Salary excluded from its Team Salary pursuant to this Section 4(h), the player shall cooperate in the processing of the application, including by appearing at the reasonably scheduled place and time for examination by the jointly-selected physician. The player shall not make any misrepresentation or fail to disclose any relevant information in connection with the processing of the application."

MY NOTE: More proof that Pat Riley is a complete dick. First there was the Jedi mind games he played with DWade and now this. He is looking to keep Bosh on the roster, even though he says he will never play for the Heat again, until it is too late for Bosh to sign with another team for a playoff run. Yeah, like your Heat have a real shot this year, right Riles? You are a selfish prick, Pat Riley. Why would anybody sign with your club unless you are overpaying them? And your hairstyle isn't chic anymore, it's NJ mobster, The Sopranos.

Agree in all respects. Slightly off topic, I really don`t want to see Bosh become the next Reggie Lewis

I would like to think that the Heat only have this guy's health in their minds. Looking at him with any other thoughts are just not the way to do things when dealing with such a potential life threatening situation.
