Chris Bosh has run into another blood clot incident prior to training camp.

This is his third setback in two years, and it's at the forefront of ex-teammate Dwyane Wade's mind.

Wade spoke to the Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press about Bosh, and what he thinks he should do regarding the situation:

To me, the biggest thing is Chris has five kids and a wife and a family. I told him focus on that first.

This was an exact echo of what his other big three teammate LeBron James said when he got wind of how serious Bosh's condition was:

I think his health and his family is the most important thing. Basketball is a huge part of our lives, and, obviously, he wants to be on the floor. But as a friend I want him to be as healthy as possible.

It is probably killing Bosh inside to know he may have to give up the game he loves on terms he didn't ask for, but it would kill his friends and family even more if something were to happen to him They believe, like any sane person would with an outside perspective, that his family and health should be the most important part of his decisions.

The Miami Heat owe Bosh almost $50 million over the next two years, but will likely file for an exception to have his salary removed from their books if he's not able to play again. They'd still have to pay most of his salary, but it would be off the cap.

Having him on the court would benefit them, and him not playing could also benefit them, financially.

The most important thing is that Bosh listens to his friends, and even if he never plays another game, he can still stay close to the league in different ways.
