sure seems like he is trying to run himself out of town- shortly after, how did the reporter put it? "he was fined in late March for an expletive filled rant about not being used more against some smaller lineups."
Heat center Hassan Whiteside finished an immensely disappointing first-round playoff series doing something he has done multiple times in recent months: voicing displeasure about his playing time.
The Heat was outscored by 75 points with Whiteside on the court during the regular season (second worst on the team behind Dion Waiters) and by 26 points with Whiteside on the court during this playoff series, including minus 14 in Game 5.
yah really sounds like a guy you want--- a 25M dollar player averaging 15 minutes, 6 points, 6 boards--- crying multiple times about playing time, expletive filled rants to the media resulting in him getting fined, ----a negative +- for the season. Its all stuff you just are so happy with your one max player. #timevindicates
get him out of there for just about anyone who isnt a net negative.
The funny thing about this debate/conversation is that a year ago we debated who was better out of Whiteside and Thompson. Although I'd venture to say Whiteside is still better. It's weird that both players had a significant drop off that occurred at the same time. With TT we know what it is *cough* Kardashian curse *cough*. But with Whiteside, I attribute it to poor attitude and no longer playing with a chip on his shoulder like he did in his initial Heat days.
