Rumors have circled over the past week around teams being interested in the big man’s services come July 1st with the Dallas Mavericks being in hot pursuit. With Chandler Parsons, Deron Williams, and others hitting free agency in Dallas, the Mavericks have supposedly turned their attention to Hassan Whiteside and Mike Conley. Whiteside finished last season averaging nearly 14 points, 12 rebounds, and an astounding 3.7 blocks per game, thus helping him earn All-Defensive Second Team honors. Still just 27 years old, Whiteside will find plenty of teams begging for his services this summer. But as Dallas fans know, being interested in a player and there being mutual interest is two different categories. According to the Miami Herald, Dallas could be more than just another team interested in his services. “The Dallas Mavericks have emerged as a serious suitor for Heat center Hassan Whiteside, who becomes a free agent on July 1. ESPN Dallas reported on Thursday that Dallas expects to be granted a meeting with Whiteside in the opening hours of free agency.” - See more at: http://thesmokingcuban.com/2016/06/25/dallas-has-emerged-as-serious-suitor-for-hassan-whiteside/
