Despite being the Heat's third option on offense, behind LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, life in Miami appears to be very good for power forward Chris Bosh.
He has an early termination clause in his contract and is expected to utilize it. But Bosh is unlikely to play elsewhere next season.
During an interview Wednesday on 'The Dan LeBatard Show' [ESPN Radio], the Heat star emphasized his love of South Florida living, and is willing to take less money to remain there.
"If that's what it takes," Bosh said on the show, according to a report on PalmBeachPost.com.
"I don't want to go anywhere. I like it here. It's Miami. Everybody wants to come here."
WADE UNSURE OF JAMES' FUTURE WITH HEAT
A perennial All-Star, Bosh has struggled this postseason to find his shooting touch, but that changed in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He scored the first eight points of the game, including two 3-pointer as the Heat cruised to a 105-92 win over the Indiana Pacers for a 3-1 series lead.
Bosh's offensive breakout performance came on the heels of a little verbal encouragement from his most-decorated teammate.
"I told him he was going to have a great game," James said. "We got off to a fast start because of him."

Bosh finished Game 4 with 25 points on 7-of-12 from the field. He scored nine points in each of the first three Eastern Conference Finals games. Bosh has struggled mightily against the Pacers recently in the postseason - scoring less than points a game in the previous seven meetings with Indiana in the playoffs.
Bosh and the Heat look to eliminate the Pacers on Wednesday night [ESPN at 8:30] in Indianapolis.
