You have to pay to get quality player.
You rather pay players like Beverley, Brewer, Ariza 8 million each or Whiteside 20 million+2 minimum players?
I'll pick latter.
Whiteside actually reminded me of Mutombo. When he is in the paint, no one dare to drive to the lane.
Howard? Players are not afraid of him anymore.

Cmon now... Whiteside has had a nice contract year. That's it.

I'd rather roll with Capela and find somebody else. I'd love to trade for John Henson, for example. And then spend the money on KD and friends.

KD is not coming here.
Capela need to gain muscle. I see at least 2 more years of work. And his BB IQ is just :nonono:
Problem is even Morey offer Whiteside the max, I don't see him coming over.

You're always negative though, so I don't agree. We have as good a shot as anybody to land KD and even with low odds, it's a position the Rockets must take.

I think a max for Whiteside is a mistake anyhow.

Everyone wants to win. KD is no exception. He's not going to come over here when we barely made the playoff. Especially now we don't even know who is the head coach. Morey plan to sell on team history success, which I don't think will work. I will look more into the future not history. If player just look at team history then everyone should go to Boston and Lakers.

I know Morey is always making low risk high reward move, but some is no reward at all.
I think is about time for him to take high risk and high reward move.
I also think Whiteside for max is a mistake but it is risk I'm willing to take.
I know most are willing to take the risk on Cousins, but we see the same Harden's lost of focus on defensive end in Cousins.
Between max Barnes and max Whiteside. I'll take Whiteside.

Whiteside had two superb season in a row. I don't like the idea of giving him max but this is the NBA and teams love to overpay when they have the space
