via the Chronicle:
Soon after the ESPN.com report, Chris Broussard went on ESPN to say there are several additional teams that interest Bosh. I heard Friday afternoon that there are “a handful” of teams on the initial wish list, but that the five teams listed in the ESPN.com story were not quite right.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel later quoted Bosh’s agent Henry Thomas (also Wade’s agent) saying he has not given any list of any kind to Colangelo.
My guess is that the Rockets had not made him their heart’s desire without some hint along the way from someone that Bosh would at least hear and consider their pitch.
I have not heard that. Bosh has not shown his hand any more than the other top free agents. (For a guy who tweets what he has for breakfast, it would be nice if Bosh weighed in on this.) But if we hear rumors, surely teams do, too. And if Bosh had given the Raptors a list, Morey could get that from Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo. He would not have to hear a rumor. And he could adjust his shopping list accordingly.
Besides, it is May. Free agency starts in July. A lot changes in that much time. It always does. Two weeks before the Rockets trade for Ron Artest, it was dead. Things change.
Of course, Feigen does go on to say that the Houston Rockets “would seem a long shot.” But at the least, those of us hoping for Bosh can seek solace in the fact that perhaps, the initial report was not accurate.

I agree also. This is a way of BC trying to drive up the price.
