Yeah, he probably goes out and buys a $30 mil house on Star Island or wherever embracing the Florida lifestyle, then get traded to Memphis after a couple of years, and goes broke... The Whiteside quotes and the whole twitter era reminds me of the whole Oracle at Delphi: "I am a business man who plays basketball." That could have meant Portland or Dallas or any number of places, really. In reality, it meant that we was going to use Dallas as leverage to get a max where he was already at.
You cannot get upset with a guy staying loyal to a team that brought his career back from the dead so i wish Whiteside the best of luck accept against the Blazers. However poor Cuban and the Mavs -- Rebuffed by Whiteside and Batum is re-signing with the Hornets -- LOL
I hope the Mavs get Conley actually. Would not be enough for the Mavs to jump up in standings and would hurt the Grizzlies of course and almost guarantee that Chandler comes to POR as well.
He was only going to leave if Miami wouldn't max him. He used Dallas as the nice guy best friend to make Miami jealous. Didn't Cuban hear that nice guys finish last?
Any PDX chance was always contingent on Miami NOT offering max. I wanna see how Riley manages Wade now. He's gonna have a difficult job.
Obvious to some of us at least. He was never an option. And Olshey knew it, or he wouldn't have offered the max to Parsons.
