Well for one, I don't think it is as black and white as
A. Want to win
B. Don't want to win
He can want to win, but since he has been part of 4 contending teams (2 rings), he is saying that winning is no longer his #1 priority.
Pop in NBA 2K. Go to Association Mode. Each player has ambitions.
Play for Winner
Financial Security
Loyalty To Team
It is a pie chart. 100% divided into 3 options.
Bosh no longer view, PFW as his #1 goal. He already graduated from that part of his career because of his success.
He wants to win, just not as important as it was 4 years ago.
Hope that makes sense.

If Halle Berry and Nia Long were naked in your room and you only had the choice of picking one. If you pick Nia, that doesn't mean you don't want Halle. It just means you don't want her AS MUCH AS you want Nia.
So, not black and whit

You guys are aware that you can still try and win on your current team -- even though the odds are lesser than ring chasing to a team more setup to win right away -- right?
Some of you better start sticking up for Ray Allen now if this is how you really feel about Bosh wanting to stay put.
Judging just to judge.

Eric Bledsoe is putting up those same numbers. He's only 24, there's room for improvement and tangible things he can do well.
We've seen him step up in the playoffs before as well. There's no KD or RW level star on the Knicks nor Lakers, he'll have much more free reign to grow.

I fully get you now, but the thing is PFW went from very important to not important, and financial security became the very important
I said he doesnt care about winning because at the end of the day he is financially secure no matter if he went to Houston or stayed in Miami, so i see it as he just doesnt care bout winning
And he left Toronto to win so he cant be that loyal after all
All im saying he could of played for a winner and maintained his financial security

Just cause Reggie wants to start doesn't mean he wants to be #1 option.

But he doesn't feel like moving his family.

He was tired after going to four consecutive Finals, not tired of actually winning. to say he was tired of winning is preposterous. And if that's how you interpreted his comments, then I don't know what to say.
After playing the equivalent of an entire extra season over four years of playoffs, Bosh looked at Houston (new team, new system, toughest division in the tougher conference) and said "nah, I'm good". He said he believed in Pat Riley being able to put together a team that could be competitive in the East.
Edit: forgot the family angle. He wanted them all to stay where he'd established his family. Again, after four consecutive Finals, these become important factors.

Reggie was shooting something like 40% from the field and under 30% from 3 without kd/russ. His efficiency has gone up since brooks cut his playing time. He is what he is, a role player at best

That like saying JR Smith doesnt want to shoot the ball with 20 seconds left on the clock

I thought that was obvious but I guess not. You never know what a young player is going to do when they get that opportunity to shoulder more of the load. Beard just proved that. Bledsoe to a lesser extent as well. Doesn't mean they can carry a team by themselves but they can definitely be all star type players.

Completely understand where bosh is coming from, you know how exhausting 4 finals runs must have been...
But even more then that the criticism he faced in Miami being the third option getting blamed for anything that went wrong and likely would have been in the same situation in Houston...
Not saying I would have made the same choice but I get it

If Bosh doesnt feel like moving his fam he shoulda just came out and said that, regardless of what he meant he came out and said it in the worst way

It was pretty clear at the time that it was a deciding factor. He'd established his family in Miami. Got married while he was there. Had kids while he was there. We didn't need an official statement.

Its funny as hell to see what you guys pick and choose to defend 
Let those same comments come out of Bron's mouth and ya would be ready to have his head on a pole.
The real question should've been if MIA and Houston offered the same deal, which team would he have picked. If I remember correctly, Bosh was on his way out the door until MIA offered that 5th year.

But THAT wasn't his ONLY reason for not going to HOU.
Reasons
1. Grueling to start the "ring chasing" process all over again
2. Didn't want to move his family
I think what he said and how he said it made perfect sense. Unreasonable fans will be the only ones that get on him for what he said
