    IF Portland is still wanting a chance at Whiteside and i have to believe they might decide to pass and maybe go someplace else BUT if they do not i hope the Blazers still get a meeting. However i am fearing i wake up tomorrow with news of him and Dallas agreeing to a deal and no meeting with Blazers.

    The Mavericks, sources say, recently wrapped up their New York City recruiting pitch to Hassan Whiteside


    I am glad there is no report of a deal in place and maybe IF the Blazers still want him they will have a shot at getting him.

    Ok I read up on it at cbafaq.com

    I'm trying to think of a way where we could sign Parsons and Whiteside without gutting our bench.

    Yeah, it does seem that way now. I would like to think there is the slightest chance we get to see him before that Snapchat announcement, but I know that's not likely.

    Did Portland even get a chance to make their case?

    Nope, but it wouldn't have mattered. The max and Miami is what he wanted and he got it.

    No. Whiteside wanted money, not an actual role on a team.

    Yeah let's act like anyone that doesn't want to play in Portland is stupid. That is how a smart fanbase thinks!

    Over half the league had the money. It was Miami that got the deal done.

    The max from Miami is higher than the max from anyone else yeah we might sit here and think to ourselves "but it's only $4mil more" well that and the state income tax aspect... Also as Whiteside said because of being I the DL he's played for 8 teams in 4 years not changing probably was high on his list.

    I'm not even a tiny bit surprised.

    I'm not really disappointed either.

    Agreed. I wasn't emotionally invested in the idea of Whiteside.

    Dwight is still out there as well some more value dudes.
