    A little bit more:
    "The Portland Trail Blazers will meet with free agent center Hassan Whitesidetomorrow morning, according to ESPN's Michael Wallace.

    Wallace reports that Whiteside will also meet with the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers soon after the league lifts its ban on teams contacting free agents at midnight EDT tonight. Whiteside previously met with Pat Riley and the Miami Heat, his current team."
    I hope we have the last meeting of the three; that would indicate he is leaning to us.

    Nothing better than him meeting with the Lakers, then with us....and choosing Portland. That would make him an immediate cult hero.

    Not necessarily...he could just sign here and blow them off...Lamarcus blew off the Knicks interview last year. That would be even sweeter.

    Oh he'll have a field day either or. If he doesnt sign we failed. If he does sign, Whiteside is a headcase why is POR doing this?

    Hmmm..... honestly, if Neil gets Whiteside, that's a huge get and should dispel the idea that we can't lure a big free agent.

    Social media has changed the whole market size factor completely.

    Unfortunately I think the reverse is true if we dont because the situation will never be more prime to do so when you factor in the quality of our team, the competition, etc. Meaning if he doesnt choose the Blazers then it is very likely the Portland aspect and will likely never change.

    Durant is also meeting with a ton of teams, many of which don't have a shot. Aldridge met with the Suns last year. Just getting a meeting doesn't mean anything.

    With that said, maybe we wow him in our meeting.

    I trust Woj and i am sure it could be true but i am not gonna take it or anything tweet related as a make or break thing. Also when i saw that tweet my 1st reaction was Dang it but i have learned to never underestimate Olshey and his creative thinking and maneuvers to get players for the Blazers.
