2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions: Chris Bosh 'Seriously Considering Houston!' Is He Really A Perfect Fit With The Rockets? Experts Weigh in!

The 2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions are still centered on the Big Three but not exclusively on LeBron James. Chris Bosh used to be the alpha dog himself, that's why it was a big deal when he joined forces with the King and Wade.

Miami seems hesitant to pay him what he wants (which is already a discount from the contract he opted out from) and might have actually closed the door on him. He has other options which would offer him a near-max contract and has the makings of a contender: The Houston Rockets.

But is it really the best fit for both sides? Which team is the best fit for Chris Bosh?

"Amin Elhassan, ESPN Insider: Miami, provided LeBron comes back. The world wants to panic, but a month ago, the Heat looked on track to win a third consecutive title. There was a point this season when Miami led the league in passes per offensive possession -- the trait for which everyone praised the Spurs. This was not a bad, mediocre or even good team; it was one of the best. The Heat definitely need improving, but the hysteria surrounding their worth as a unit is preposterous."

You can't argue with success, and despite the Finals debacle this year, they did win it all twice and won the Eastern Conference crown four years in a row-which is the whole time they got together.

"Ethan Sherwood Strauss, ESPN.com: The Rockets are the best fit roster-wise. Howard would protect the rim and spare Bosh the more bruising defensive assignments. When Howard sits, Bosh bombs 3-pointers from the 5-spot in keeping with Daryl Morey's 3-pointer-heavy approach. Houston seems like a great place for a lot of players to be, save for the part where you're constantly dangled in trade rumors."

It does look good on paper, but the Rockets faltered on the court in the first round of the playoffs against the Blazers. There was little chemistry between Harden and Howard, the team's two stars. Will Bosh be the one to fix that?

Even a  'Miami homer' admits that it's Houston:

"Michael Wallace ESPN.com: In all honesty, it's Houston. He would be a perfect fit as a stretch power forward alongside Howard. Bosh is already accustomed to playing as a third option, so it wouldn't be a foreign concept to initially defer to Howard and James Harden. Houston makes all the sense in the world, aside from a return to Miami. But Bosh, a Dallas native, once jokingly told me he's done with the Lone Star State. Plus he says he's 'got some crazy cousins in Houston' he needs to stay away from."

Now that's intriguing!
