    It's literally a better chance than signing top guys. Take this year as an example.

    In a way I don't regret this past season anymore. I kinda wanted to see hey maybe if we do make noise in the playoffs dame and Cj have a great year maybe we get the top guys. Now I REALLY know

    So are we still meeting with him or not?

    The twitter era is fucking annoying. None of these guys post actual information. They post clickbait sentences with zero context. First we hear that Whiteside is meeting with Portland. Now we hear from Woj that Dallas and Miami are the main focus. What does that even mean? Is he still meeting with Portland? Are we out? Do some actual reporting you fuck.

    Since none of us have any inside info I'm not sure we can say for sure. All we can do is assume while Dallas may be "in the lead" we were mentioned as a team who will get a chance to meet and talk with him in which case maybe we can persuade him differently.

    It all depends if Whiteside signs quickly or not. If he signs within a few hours after free agency starts, obviously no meeting. If we wake up and he hasn't signed with anyone, probably is a good sign we at least got a meeting and are being considered.

    That's old news. We have seen other reports that leave us out since then.

    Can we hold up on the crying until 9:01? Not a single word has been exchanged between him and organizations (Except Miami). Maybe the Heat fucked up. That leaves Dallas and us. Those are good odds. Like someone said here, if he hasn't signed by tomorrow morning. We're really in it.

    Not a team player? He shoots a really high percentage on few shots, saves his guards asses by blocking almost 4 shots a game and is an elite rebounder. I'm confused.

    And averages less than 1/2 an assist per game.

    I would say anything from him and his vertical crew is about 100 percent. That's a mean crew

    This is something I noticed this week when going through his stats. His season high in assists was 2.

    He reached that mark 3 times in 73 games while playing 29 mpg. He even had a streak of 9 games without a single assist. Not a good look even if the team offense was wack

    Man you are getting down so much nate. Just because Dallas is the frontrunner doesnt mean we still have an outside shot. Perhaps you are right no one has recently suggested portland is still getting the meeting, but no one, including woj, has said that whiteside had eliminated portland as consideration or for a meeting yet. Tbh you may have had your hopes to high anyway, we mostly know how free agency goes for us anyway.

    When your offensive game is predicated on lobs and putbacks, how many assists do you want out of your big man. I'd say if he's shooting over 60% from the field it can't be much of an issue. Nit picking to say the least.
