An indirect war of words between Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat is deepening as more barbs were flung Friday.Bosh expressed frustration that the team did not inform him he had failed the teams physical last week before putting out a news release. A Heat spokesman responded by saying the team was unable to reach Bosh after calling, emailing and texting him before putting out the statement.I didnt see my career in Miami ending like this, Bosh said as part of his ongoing video series on Uninterrupted.com. I didnt get a call or a text or anything like that. I mean, its a business. We understand that. We always say those things. But if you say certain things to the person and you win championships and you have these moments, you dont want to find things out through the media. Its kind of tough. We say all these things, the commitment, brotherhood and all these things. And then, for whatever reason, you find out, or I find out like this. So, it hurts.The growing rift between Bosh and the Heat has now moved beyond a medical issue and is heading toward a potential contractual issue, as Bosh is promising to continue his career away from the Heat.I guess my career in Miamis done. My careers not done, Bosh said. Theres 29 other teams, its a whole league. One team does not make up the opinion of everything.Bosh, however, doesnt have much control of his immediate future. He is under contract with the Heat until 2018-19 for $76 million, money that is guaranteed. According to the terms of his contract, Bosh is in line to receive a $4.7 million payment Saturday.In February, once he has been out a calendar year following a blood clot diagnosis, the Heat can take steps to remove him from their salary cap and allow insurance to cover a large portion of the remaining money owed. Bosh could become a free agent at that time and seek a team that would medically clear him, something that Bosh clearly believes is viable despite multiple bouts with blood clots.The only way Bosh could become a free agent now would be for the team to release him, which is unlikely unless Bosh would be willing to negotiate a buyout of his contract in which he accepts significantly less money.Bosh recently parted ways with his longtime agent and is now discussing the matter with the players association, which is monitoring the situation, sources have told ESPN.Bosh did not address what caused him to fail the physical. The Heat said they could not comment on why he failed because of league privacy rules.Bosh, who also posted a message on his blog, alluded to the messy breakup the Heat had with Dwyane Wade over the summer in a contract dispute that led Wade to sign with the Chicago Bulls.I want to tell Miami, everybody in Miami, this not how I planned it to be, Bosh said. They dont want to hear Dwyanes gone. They dont want to hear, Oh, yeah, Chris is never going to play for the Miami Heat again. I just feel for the fans. I wanted to give them more. I wanted to give them something better. Because they deserve better than what theyre getting right now. Dikembe Mutombo Jersey .

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. SAN ANTONIO -- Wearing a black shirt emblazoned with a picture of Tim Duncan with a caption underneath reading Impossible Is Potential, San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich waxed poetic for 15 minutes Tuesday about the retirement of arguably the greatest power forward to ever play the game, and plans to make a pitch to Duncan to keep him working with the organization in some capacity in the future.Duncan announced his retirement on Monday, but wasnt present for Tuesdays news conference.Its not a show of humility in any sense or form. People who grew up with me know me, Popovich explained. I would not be standing here if it wasnt for Tim Duncan. Id be in the Budweiser League someplace in America, fat and still trying to play basketball or coach basketball. But hes why Im standing. Hes made livings for hundreds of us, staff and coaches, over the years and never said a word, just came to work every day. Came early, stayed late, was there for every single person, from the top of the roster to the bottom of the roster, because thats who he was, in all those respects.Sources told ESPNs Marc Stein that the Spurs officially waived Duncan on Monday for salary-cap reasons. While the move was a mere formality, the club needed to do it to waive and stretch Duncans $6.4 million salary for the 2016-17 season so that its spread out over three seasons instead of one, which lessens the cap hit the team will take.Duncan exercised his player option for the upcoming season before the June 29 deadline, which means helll receive his full salary for the upcoming season despite retiring.dddddddddddd Consider it a parting gift for Duncan, who gave so much for the NBA, the city of San Antonio and the Spurs organization.Hes irreplaceable. It cant happen, Popovich said. Were all unique. I guess each one of us is unique. But hes been so important to so many people, its just mind boggling. To think that hes going to be gone makes it really difficult to imagine walking into practice, going to a game, getting on the bus, taking him a piece of carrot cake -- whatever it might be.You dont see Timmy beating his chest as if he was the first human being to dunk the basketball, as a lot of people do these days. Hes not pointing to the sky. Hes not glamming to the cameras. He just plays, and weve seen it for so long its become almost mundane. But its so special that it has to be remembered.Popovich said Duncan is too smart to try his hand at coaching in retirement, but he plans to reach out to the former Spur to keep him involved in some capacity.I dont think were going to see Timmy going up and down the sidelines much, Popovich said. But I have a notion he will at least listen to being involved, somehow or other, maybe even on a part-time basis. Im certainly going to hit with everything I have to keep him around here as long as I possibly can because he means that much to everyone in the organization. ' ' '
