    Ridiculous numbers in Turkey last season. Shot over 50% from outside on almost 3 attempts a game. Career 44% shooter from outside.

    Can’t say I’ve watched him play though, so can’t provide much beyond that.

    Whiteside is my center on 2K (fantasy draft lol) he sets way better screens than Nurk, rebounds better and actually dunks...

    I know it's a game...

    I watched him play, great shooter. Doesn't hurt to give it a try and maybe sign him with the minimum.

    Coach not playing him in the 4th. They pay him like he's the Man. They tell him he's the Man. They act like he's the Man. But, they don't play him like The Man.

    Sorry, I see Whiteside's side on this one.

    Pat is at best the 13th or 14th guy in a rotation, but definetly not a Backup SG

    They PAID him like the man. Not much they can do about that now. If it wasn’t for that contract he’d probably be elsewhere

    He's also reminisced openly about if he was still in Portland and how he would love to be playing with Dame and CJ. I'd love if we could get him. He was always a great team player and he could do a bit of everything.

    I think he can start at SF and we can stagger him along with one of Dame/CJ the rest of the game. Think Indy will pay him top $ though so he might have priced himself out.

    The exception would be the "minimum salary exception", most likely. Pat signed one that was 3years @ minimum each year (came to 2.2M total, iirc)

    I love this board. I'll read to the end of the thread next time before posting. (But I always seem to say that).

    I fear you may be right. But a guy whose BPM and VORP have been negative every year of his career just doesn't scream "needle-mover" to me.
