    Yeah, it's called aging. You want him on the perimeter against Davis, Millsap, Kuzma, and chasing around other stretch 4s?

    This is not a cool post.

    And as king of uncool posts my word holds merit here.

    DAMN!!! As much as it really detests me to say, I have to agree 100% with this post. We are going to have some seriously nasty line-up options.... Nice post HCP. NO, SERIOUSLY!!!

    Gasol's yin will balance Whiteside's yang.

    Kenneth Faried is a PERFECT fit as a PF next to Pau Gasol and could also play some 5.

    Do it Neil.

    I'm no fun.

    I would rather use his roster slot as an audition spot for young\undrafted players.

    He's just too old and this era of basketball is not for him anymore.

    His talents are conducive to helping us win. Would you rather see Tolliver or Skal out there in Dame's prime?

    I think Pau is a good choice at back up center while Nurks out. Also if they get mid way through the season and Nurks beasting, you have a competent back up if you trade whiteside.

    My guess he’s mostly here to be a teacher for the Blazers young bigs and thats great, but Id trust him to give solid minutes in short spurts too.

    I'd rather see him with Collins at the 4. Great defense and ability to hit threes together.
