    Do you ever get tired of whining about Stotts on a daily basis? It was old 4,000 posts ago.

    huh? Public relations move? He has done a solid job of retooling this team after several posters in here said we had very limited resources to improve this team and that we would worse this year.

    But we're not. And we're also out from under Turner's contract.

    Every GM and trade involves some amount of luck. I haven't seen any objective evidence that Neil somehow has received more luck than any other GM.

    Actually, we're out of all of our 2016ers contracts. Of course, we have Bazemore who started out as someone else's 2016er.

    So you gonna do a video on this massive pick up? Seriously I haven't been this excited about a trade in forever. Whiteside could be the key to a Chip. Defense wins Championships.

    Miami had to give up a pick in the deal, even though it wasn't to us.

    Whiteside and I had the same reaction to the offseason

    "We've got shooters !!"

    Not sure if anyone posted this video from this past season but 29-20-9 is a big night vs the Spurs

    Well last 4 years the Heat have been eliminated in the 1st round 2 of them and didn't make the playoffs 2 of them. So I think they have bigger problems then Whiteside the last 4 years. If they think Bam the answer in the middle to lead them then the Heat might have a long season next year. When Butler going get tire of this team like he has his past teams. I like the trade due to Whiteside fits Stotts defense scheme plus he is rim protector and plus rebounder in this league. With Zach and Whiteside at the 4 and 5 I feel good are rim will be very protected next year.

    I don't think people realize how good our D can be with Nurk and Hassan in alternatimg shifts.

    What a stat whore. You’d think he’d just want to focus on winning the game.

    You never know.
    It would be even better with a top defender playing together with Nurk or Whiteside.
    I hope that is the goal going forward since they can’t play together.

    You mean like what Collins projects to be? I might venture Skal as well. Seriously, with a healthy Nurk, that could be the best defensive foursome of bigs in the league.
