3 reason its time to move Hassan1.
He doesn't pass Hassan Whiteside can block shots, and he can dunk and he can roll. But he can’t, or doesn’t, pass. Whichever it is, Whiteside has just 14 assists all season. He has 20 in his entire career. In more than 100 games, in nearly 2,500 minutes played, Whiteside has assisted a teammate 20 times.
2.
Limited offensivelyHassan is making 78.1 percent of his shots near the rim. That’s an incredible, LeBron-like rate. However, he’s making less than 40 percent of his shots away from the rim overall, per NBA.com.
3.
Money Despite these inefficiencies in his game, Whiteside is going to get paid. The Heat will have their price. Maybe they will be willing to pay him $12 million a year. Even if that’s true, Whiteside is going to have offers of millions more a year than that.
A team may come to Whiteside with a maximum offer, willing to make him the center piece of its defense and offense. Who knows. The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets like to spend money and they’re desperate for difference makers.
Keeping Whiteside at a moderate rate could be a good move for Miami. After all, he’s a rebounding, shot blocking beast. There is major value in offensive rebounding and rim protection, and the Heat would be smart to offer him a contract. But a maximum contract is just too much for someone with so many offensive inefficiences and who, frankly, doesn’t fit what the Heat want to do.
Ultimately, that’s what this comes down to. Whiteside is a good player–potentially great player–but his place may not be in Miami. Spoelstra and the Heat want to pick up the pace and spread the floor, two things that Whiteside can’t do and prevents Miami from doing. For those reasons, it’s time to move on.
One and two reason is no big deal for the Heat, I think they can deal with it coz his shot blocking and rebounding can make up for it. But the money reason is the big issue. We fans don't care coz we're not the one paying, but I bet the Heat does. No doubt, he will be paid, but will Miami sign him the max?
The Lakers targeting HassanNBA trade rumors are stating that the Los Angeles Lakers are targeting Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside in a trade because they don’t want another team swooping him up before he becomes a free agent after the season ends, according to ESPN Insider.
Since the Los Angeles Lakers know that they will not be the only suitor for Hassan Whiteside, Mitch Kupchak and team owner Jim Buss might be inclined to be progressive by giving Miami Heat General Manager Pat Riley a phone call to see what it would take to pry their starting center away.
an interesting trade that could take place would see the Los Angeles Lakers sending Nick Young, a guard that never met a shot that he didn’t like, and draft picks to the Miami Heat in exchange for Hassan Whiteside, who would immediately replace Roy Hibbert in the starting lineup, and Chris Anderson, a pseudo cheerleader who is thrown in to make the salaries match.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, the trade would enable Mitch Kupchak to get first crack at signing Hassan Whiteside to what should be a near maximum contract, while also adding a fourth building block to go with D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and Julius Randle, a core that might be appealing to other young free agent superstars.
Yeah Kupchak might call the Heat but Riley will say, "sorry I'm busy" after offering Young. They praise Hassan a lot in the article but their trade suggestion doesn't match his value. Heat trade two big man for Young who is erratic. WTF! Even they sub McRoberts for Birdman is no good deal. HEAT PASS with this one!
Heat forced to move Whiteside?? per Morning News
The Heat are in a predicament since they don’t own the Bird Rights to Whiteside. Therefore, a team like the Lakers, with a lot more cap room than Heat, will have the opportunity to pry Whiteside away from South Beach.
For the Heat to retain Whiteside, the leading shot blocker in the league, they would have to either convince Dwayne Wade to take a pay cut or choose between Whiteside and their longtime franchise player. Clearly, that won’t be an easy decision for Riley’s camp
If Heat trade Whiteside to Lakers, they can still get a valuable asset or two in return. But if they don’t trade the big man, they risk losing him next year for nothing. It’s definitely a predicament.
Since Whiteside is still earning less than a million a year, it won’t be very difficult for the Lakers to pull off a trade. However, the Heat would expect nothing less than a package of prized lottery picks D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle. The Lakers have previously stated that Russell and Randle are “untradeable.” However, a deal for Whiteside could change that stance.
Tempting!
