For Miami Heat fans, the summer has not gone well so far. And if the rumors that are circulating turn out to be true, then things will continue to be difficult for the Florida-based franchise.

There are talks of Chris Bosh, the  only remaining player from their "Big Three," moving back to the Toronto Raptors.

Earlier in the summer, Dwyane Wade already saw his way back home as he will now play in his native home in Chicago with the Bulls. And it seems like Bosh is returning to the first team he played for in the NBA, the Raptors.

With Bosh and the Heat apparently having issues as to whether Bosh is fit to play, it appears that the All-Star may be heading back to Canada to help another top team.

Digital Journal also reported on the topic and said that adding Bosh to the line-up will definitely help the Raptors improve their performance in the Eastern Conference.

It should also be interesting to watch how things will unfold if Bosh happens to go back to the Raptors after the Heat already lost Wade due to issues with his contract.

If Bosh does move on, fans and supporters of the Heat franchise may start to turn on the team itself as they failed to keep the biggest stars in their locker room.

Bosh arrived in the 2003-04 season at 19 years old and immediately made an impact on the league.

He would play seven seasons with the Raptors and average 20.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game during his time there.

Bosh then moved to the Heat to form a strong team with Wade and LeBron James and won two championships as a result.

Unfortunately, Bosh has had some issues with his health in the past two seasons which resulted in him losing a lot of time on the court. This has become an issue between him and the Heat.
