http://www.hngn.com/articles/219092...i-heats-hassan-whiteside-heading-portland.htm Now, rumors are emerging that the Trail Blazers are interested in adding Whiteside in their roster to have a defensive presence in the middle. According to All U Can Heat, Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey have been chasing Whiteside in the free agency because of his enthusiasm of old-school low-post guy just like Hassan. https://allucanheat.com/2016/11/26/...the-trail-blazers-trade-for-hassan-whiteside/ Anything would help....
Have at least 5% of chance to we sign in him, or its just a impossible ideia? He just sign in a new contract with the heat
He's just taken Lowe's article that we talked about last week. And Zach said we "chased" him, and failed. Not chasing. Nothing new here.
Olshey is likely going to try to save his job, I just hope he does nothing stupid in a fit of desperatation
Article states we are offering Leonard, Plumlee, Harkless and 2 first round draft picks... interesting. White side is good, but it would sting to lose Harkless and the picks. Maybe Layman is in the plans to be a bigger part of the future.
hard to believe that would be enough, Leonard sucks and with his contract is at best a neutral piece, Hark is the best piece and Plums is ok but will get paid this offseason. The two picks if they are the Blazers picks would be expected to be at what 12-24 so mid rd/ I gotta believe someone like Boston would make a much stronger offer
I'd give EVERYONE else on the roster except Dame and CJ to get Whiteside. Once you get 3 - others WANT to come play here. Yes, Harkless would be missed, but only until Layman got 30 straight games under his belt. : )
Who does Neil think he dealing with he dealing with Pat Riley is not stupid enough to give his best player to anyone right now. Especially someone anchor his defense and get players that not very good defender except Harkless I dont see this happening.
Riley knows he's needs draft picks and young projects...Miami will not contend as constructed..I could see him trading for a starter and bench help plus picks
Hopefully Olshey just doesn't give up to much to get him so we still have the pieces necessary to trade for Lebron.
The only player mentioned in the article that can be traded today is Plumlee. Whiteside can not be traded until Dec 15th Leonard can not be traded until Jan 14th Harkless can not be traded until Jan 14th Reason, all three signed free agent contracts last off season.
Why can Whiteside be traded before Leonard/Harkless? They all signed extensions with their original team.
WHERE? Article doesn't state anything like that. This is just some random dude going on trade machine.
