loyalty probably is non-existent in the NBA, but for me, if shown loyalty, the least you can do is deny it and not drag it along if you dont intend to reciprocate it. i think what irks the fans is that the Raps showed Bosh loyalty, 1st, by not trading him when they could have, and 2nd by giving him the most money and years they could offer him. And dont say that they used Bosh services because im pretty sure at some point during the middle of last season, BC already had an idea as to where Bosh stood on FA, even I, a lowly fan, already had a gut feeling that he wouldnt re-sign after being an FA when he declined the extension offer. But still, BC stood by him and offered him the max money for max years. If you dont think of that as loyalty......
I guess BC can also be blamed for the so-called failed moves he did, but thats the keyword there, failed. Its a two-sided coin. If all his roster moves were a success, then you wont be calling him out, rather youd be thinking he's a genius. He did the best moves possible at that time, with his resources, it just didnt pan out. But the intention was there. Bosh needed a playmaking PG, BC got TJ Ford. Bosh needed a center, BC got JO. You really cant blame BC for those moves, because initially, it worked out fine, on paper it was good. TJ was pacing the raps to a 50 win season when he got injured. JO was the shotblocking, rebounding center that would complement Bosh on the inside, and he got injured and again the raps went downhill.
bottomline is, BC was loyal to Bosh but he wasnt, but cant really blame Bosh coz basketball is not just about money, but winning and doing whatever is necessary to achieve it. bosh was loyal, to his own goals and dream and thats what counts for every athlete, i guess
