On March 5, 2011, Whiteside had surgery to repair a partially torn tendon in his left knee, which sidelined him for the rest of the season.
Would you take Biyombo over Ezeli and Whiteside? I'm giving this serious thought. Biz @ 15 mil or Whiteside and his knees @ 25 mil. Hm. Getting Biz gives us like 15 more mil of space to play with for trades/FA. Speaking of injury prone centers.... DMo is a RFA as well.
Says here He's not getting surgery Heat's Hassan Whiteside: Won't undergo surgery By RotoWire Staff Tuesday, May 17, 2016 Whiteside (knee) won't undergo surgery on his sprained right MCL in the offseason, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Whiteside sustained the injury midway through the Heat's second-round series against the Raptors and missed the final four games. He still remains without a firm timetable, but with the season now over, Whiteside won't face any pressure to return before a given date. Avoiding surgery is certainly a benefit, though, as Whiteside, an unrestricted free agent, enters the offseason seeking his first major NBA payday This said, I'm super wary of him now.
I think you've seen the benefit of the Biz, and it is pretty large on one end of the floor. You have also seen the benefit of Adams, Kanter and Ibaka and it is pretty large on the other end of the floor, as well as ok on the defensive side. For me, I'd rather have a guy that can take pressure off our guards by being able to score down low.
He's already had surgery on his knee back in 2011. Now an injury, even if not serious enough for surgery, on his other knee. No thank you
I agree with this. Although I think there can be a argument made for Biyombo over Whiteside too. I like his motor. We are talking about 1 inch difference in terms of reach. But who jumps better?
