Miami's going to have deal with Decision 3.0 now. Whiteside is going to be demanding the LeBron treatment.
This dude drank some Space Jam secret stuff. Too bad Miami is too injury-riddled to take advantage of it this season.
24 points on 12/13 shooting, 20 reb (9 offensive), 3 steals, 2 blocks, +11 on the court.... and Heat still lost by 1.
This guy is absolutely beasting right now. Will be really curious to see what kind of offers he gets this summer.
This guy is for real. The more he performs like this, the more he hurts knowing that we had him right here and Morey let him go
Hassan "The Prospect" Whiteside is now Hassan "I dare you to draft Dorsey over me again Maori" Whiteside.
This happens all the time, when you flip your roster so much, I don't think we know how to properly evaluate NBA talent - it seems we let it go, then try to get it back later.... Look at all the guys in the league that are performing very well.... Lowry Dragic PPat Hassan Brooks Just to name a few - it seems our organization is too impatient. DD
Why are some of you guys suggesting that "we" let him go, as if we had some extended personal look. He had a cup of coffee with the Vipers. When a true 7 footer can't even find a single job in the NBA, it's clear that he must have been terrible at the time. He was out of the entire freaking league for 2 full seasons, everybody missed. Singling out the Rockets front office makes no sense.
Because it's so much more fun to b**** and moan and act like a wizard who saw this coming the whole time. I had no idea who whiteside was until this week and didn't even know he had anything to do with this franchise ever. The whole league passed over him many many many times. This has nothing to do with rockets talent evaluation.
Seriously. Lowry we traded to get Harden and we had a better player as a backup. And he was unhappy. Brooks. Had his best years with us. P pat. We needed capspace to sign howard. And he did not improve that much after he left. Dragic. You have a point. Whiteside. Lets see how he plays next year. Many teams did not think he was good enough. He flipped a switch good for him. But i would not use him as an example of our fo failing.
LeBron needs to see that doctor in miami that whiteside when to go see, if obvious this dude is on something...
I remember there was somebody on Clutchfans two (or three?) years ago adamantly insisting that Whiteside was the big that everybody in the league was overlooking. Wish I knew who that was so I could give him some props.
