BOSH IS BACK: Chris Bosh has returned to the NBA -- sort of. Now living in Southern California, Bosh was the guest of the Los Angeles Lakers, who now feature his former agent, Rob Pelinka, as general manager. "Spectator, encourager," Lakers coach Luke Walton told reporters of Bosh's role at the practice session. "He was talking to Julius [Randle] a couple times. He knows some of the guys. He didn't really have a role other than he was here checking it out." While a possible return to the NBA has been speculated, the reality is Bosh, who failed his 2016 Heat preseason physical after two bouts of blood clotting, has not been involved in NBA-related activity in more than a year. The agreement brokered through the National Basketball Players Association would not penalize the Heat's salary cap or luxury tax should Bosh, who turns 34 in March, return. "That was one of my favorite players," Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma told the Orange County Register, after introducing himself to Bosh. "I've always loved his game, back when he was in Toronto and Miami. So it was pretty cool."
