    Hassan Whiteside, on his personal instagram posted a video story of CJ doing drills. Kinda out of the blue. It's a bit unusual for players to post videos of other players randomly

    We need to stop with the political stuff in the main forum.

    That would explain quite a lot.

    CJ and Hassan have been friendly in the past. I believe that when Miami was in Portland last season - they had dinner together. Not too surprising, they seem to be friends.

    Whiteside makes no sense at all IMO, lets close this thread

    Just curious why anyone wouldn't want Whiteside?

    I don't think it is that people wouldn't want him. It's just that:

    He's expensive ($25M)
    He has trouble on PnR timing
    He has had issues with teammates/coaches (nothing major, but more than current Blazers)
    His vaunted defense doesn't appear to be really that much better than Nurkic when you check stats
    He is 29, so will be on the downhill side for a center soon
