In a story as appropriate for the Lifetime Network as ESPN, Chris Bosh said that he has not spoken to LeBron James since their “breakup.”

“I’m in the mode where I’m trying to lead my team, help these guys out around here,” Bosh said. “If guys aren’t in this locker room, I don’t have much time for them — if any.

“As far as we’re concerned, this is our team, this is what we’re trying to build toward, the past is the past, we’re moving on, and it’s good to get this out of the way.”

This really isn’t much of a story, to be honest. Bosh is just focusing on his new team and trying to get the Heat ready for the upcoming season. The Heat have a new host of challenges to face, and there’s no sense in wasting time worrying about the past. Bosh should be applauded for embracing his new leadership role.

Ah, but what of the truth, Chris? He and LeBron may not have spoken since the latter’s departure from Miami, but that doesn’t mean Bosh hasn’t composed and then deleted a bunch of texts since July 11. Below are exclusive screenshots of messages that Bosh never had the heart to send.

Big thanks to Roger Goodell for passing these along. Don’t ask; just know that he’s got friends in the NSA.
