There were certainly positives with the Heat, but there was also a downside to playing with the Rockets, in Bosh’s eyes.

“I could see where people would think that’s an attractive site,” Bosh said. “They were trying to win right away. And I was really happy to be touted that I possibly could’ve been out there. But you know, that doesn’t guarantee anything, and I know that. All that guarantees is a bunch of pressure.”
Bosh experienced life under that microscope for four years, so there is not much fault in settling into a situation. He enjoys life in Miami and plays for a solid team with less pressure to win it all.
