"Man, it’s annoying," said Whiteside, who was pulled for good with 3:55 to play in the third quarter. "Why we matching up? We got one of the best centers in the league. Why we matching up? A lot of teams don’t have a good center. They’re going to use their strength.
"It's bull---. It’s really bull---, man," Whiteside said. "There’s a lot of teams that could use a center. S---. That's bull---."
It was Whiteside's second game back after missing nine with a strained hip flexor.
Asked if he thought it was time to talk to the coaching staff, Heat President Pat Riley or General Manager Andy Elisburg, Whiteside said, "No. I don’t know if it is because of a minutes restriction or what. The minutes have been like that all year. It’s just really frustrating and it's been frustrating.
"It’s tough. I don’t know man, it’s crazy. I don’t understand it."
Asked if it has him questioning his future with the team, he said. "I don't know, maybe."
Asked who he might take the issue up with, he said, "I don’t know."
I was questioning throughout this game if it's worth it to keep a guy who's only playing 19mpg all season and being paid ?the max salary?
If we do trade him, it'll be selling low, depending on how you view his contract. He's capable of putting up some pretty good numbers when given playing time, but he also looks disinterested at times.
