NBA Trade Rumors: Hassan Whiteside on the block? A look at Heat big man's value

This would be earth shattering. It would surely chase away the remaining bandwagoners

NBA Trade Rumors: Hassan Whiteside on the block? A look at Heat big man's value

If they were truly bandwagoners, then they've been long gone and have traded in their Heat gear for Cavs stuff.

Would be terrible though, I love Whiteside.

I think it would be dumb to trade him considering this roster. Need to surround him with better talent to see results

Yeah. Instead of losing by 42, we will now lose by 32

That sounds about where I was going with that

Per ESPN's Marc Stein, the Heat have a " High-asking-price" for Goran Dragic - diminishing any chances of a trade.

Also found a troubling note on Justise Winslow via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald -- Players guarded by him shot 49.2 % worst among all starting SFs -- In turn, he wasn't shooting it all that well either

 

[Paolo305613]

Sadly, McGruder is still in the starting 5. But at least Waiters is back where he belongs

Palm Beach post, source of the early post I made about Hassan being on the block - now taking it back -- I knew I shouldn't trust those scums. Talk about fake news

 

[Paolo305613]

Good start for the Heat... so far... lets see how long it last... i think as long as Spo stays away from those unnecessary lineup combos, especially late/in crunch time -- we may be able to stay in this game for longer than we expected

 

[Paolo305613]

James Johnson dunks it... I can dig that from him

 

[Paolo305613]

But not that wasted 3 a that leads to a 3 from curry

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ comes and the lead decreases , of course

 

[Paolo305613]

I like what E-Reid said there of Curry shot " I like that he can make it from there but it doesn't make it a good shot"

Thats the mentality the Heat need -- they often take open shots but its not necessary the best shot

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, JJ bounces back with a dunk to end the quarter and give us a 2-point lead after one that could've been more were it not for bone-headed sequences by him

 

[Paolo305613]

Time for Spo to realize that James Johnson is trying to again single-handedly contribute to the "tanking" crowd and pull the plug on him for the night

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ finally taken out and some order restored for Heat now only down 4 - lets keep it going and get back on track

 

[Paolo305613]

10 points for Hassan but id say its his quietest 10 points ever .. he needs to attack more and ask for ball more..

in comes JJ again and Curry hits a 3

 

[Paolo305613]

As I say that, Hassan looking to come to life... perfect
