I've got a not so great feeling about this guy. I can't put my finger on it. I hope this isn't one of Olshey's lucky near misses (Parsons) that we didn't get so lucky on. With his contract status it's low risk I suppose.

Have a seat on our S2 couch.

Now, what's bothering you? Go ahead, and let it out.

I'm with you on this one.

I think he will be fine once he gets embraced by the family.

This could be a fun year!

Plus, players generally want to, or are coached to, communicate that they are excited and thrilled to be with their new team.

Expect an excited and ebullient Whiteside.

:cheers:

Whiteside seems annoying to me. Hopefully Nurk comes back strong and we can flip whitesides expiring for a “Star”.

before Nurk got here they said the same about him...seems annoying, temper, moody....once here I sure didn't see any of that

this has absolutely nothing to do with what you just wrote....but I have to say, after reading your posts for a few years and seeing your avatar every time, if I ever met you and you didn't look exactly like Hugh Laurie, I'd be disappointed

I don't. He looks like me, or so I've been told. Lol

Heat center Hassan Whiteside met with president Pat Riley and Heat representatives at midnight in New York City when free-agency began on July 1.

After that meeting, he heard a pitch from the Dallas Mavericks, before ultimately deciding to rejoin the Heat.

All of that made Whiteside’s response to a question about whether he was interested in joining Miami’s opponent late Saturday night — the Portland Trail Blazers — in free agency, intriguing.

“Portland was my second option,” Whiteside said at the team’s Saturday shootaround in Portland. “I would have came here.”

It’s really interesting how the course of the franchise would have changed if Hassan signed that contract. A lot of us were debating at the time whether a guy like Whiteside or Howard would be worth the gamble. Eventually we pivoted to Parsons and then to Turner, blegh.

Signing Whiteside would have meant that Turner would never be a Blazer. We would have also had to renounce one of Meyers/Harkless/Crabbe, probably Meyers since we also had Plumlee at the time, and paying a 3rd center 10M per year would have been crazy. No Nurkic either, and Plumlee would have eventually been moved for something else. Just a lot of interesting scenarios.
