[Yahoo] Divide between Hassan Whiteside and Miami Heat continues to grow

Nice. Did it in the trade machine and it worked and saved Miami money and kept Cleveland competitive. Only thing I would add is Winslow to Cleveland since they don't want to sign him to extension. And I'm sure cash and picks would be involved but this would make everyone happy.

 

He's an ok player, but DO NOT WANT. Let him go to some desperate team that needs a big and will waste cash.

 

Ummmn,

We'll take Whiteside and Winslow for Anderson, nene, and a pick, thank you very much.

 

Whiteside is definitely not worth it at 25mil and does not fit in our system or any system that wants to compete with GS. And Winslow will be wanting a major paid day after this season so might as well get a long defender like James Johnson and Korver who would be a secondary shooting guard with limited minutes and only there maintaining offense when starters are resting.

 

Well, we can always hope...

It’s strange to see all the media spin out of the Miami papers and blogs (sun-sentinel especially). The Miami party line seems to be we’re developing young players and everything is fine. We are better at development no yumg players than a nyome else. Run it back. With more experience we will be better.

The reality is they have multiple young talents that have underperformed. Their roster is unbalanced with overpaid wings; there must be locker room tension, and the minutes are dispersed very unevenly...The only player that they want to talk about trading is Whiteside but he’s clearly less valuable based on league wide small ball trends and his attitude.

And barring a move, they’ll go to training cap possibly adding Wade and Harlem, which is not exactly an ace in the hole.

The pressure is on Riley’s next move. Will he actually hold pat? To me, it seems untenable to do so.

 

Cleveland out: Tristan/Korver/1st
Cleveland in: Whiteside

Outlook: get another "star" and stay somewhat relevant and competitive. Lotto protect the 1st just in case while shedding 2 badish contracts.


Miami out: Whiteside/Johnson
Miami in: Anderson/Tristan/Hou1st/Cle1st

Outlook: trade disgruntled hassan. Shed some future bad salary to take back some bad salary at less years and less money overall. Improves flexibility and builds up the asset chest with 2 future 1sts.


Houston out: Anderson/1st
Houston in: Johnson/Korver

Outlook: shed our bad contract for 2 not great contracts but players who can be good role players in our system and make us more competitive and a much better team overall

 

Send him the lakers next year

 

Would take JJohnson but no thanks to Korver. Just another unplayable back up against GSW, no thanks.
