Heat planning on tanking - trade for Whiteside?

[BitterJim]

Whiteside can't get 20 mpg, he's never scored more than 10 points or shot better than 50% from the field. Plus at 6'8", he's really undersized. Pass.

What? Literally none of those things are true

Lol as Bitter Jim pointed out exactly 0 of that is true.

He is averaging 33.9 mpg this year (career 26), hes averaging 17.3 ppg (career 12. and hes shooting 54.6% from the field (59.1% career.)

As for his physicals, he is one of the few big men who cant be considered undersized in any era. At the draft he was 6'11.5" in shoes (of course) with an enormous 7'7 wingspan to give him a 9'5 standing reach. This most likely puts him as one of the largest starting centers in the league. Bigger than Dwight.

I mean come on the guy is an aircraft carrier. Use facts next time man.

Edit: Unless your post was sarcastic in which case I apologize.

I'm thinking maybe he mixed him up with another player?  My first though was Isaiah Whitehead but he's a 6'4" PG, not even close to 6'8" or undersized

Also, he has a 7'7" wingspan?  Holy crap

Something must have happened. Yea until Embiid started playing, I believe that Whiteside was considered the "largest starting center." I believe only Gasol was close, but the 7'7 wings make him enormous. 9'5 standing reach is crazy.

Like I said he is an aircraft carrier.

I thought, "Maybe he's mixing up Whiteside with Haslem?" but those facts aren't even quite right about Haslem either.

I'm pretty sure that's sarcasm, guys lol This is one of those issues where satire can't be properly expressed through text.

I think he was making a hyperbolic satirical post based on the 20 minutes claims earlier.

I would go for Whiteside, but not sacrificing any of our core rotation or BKN 2017. I would rather make the pick at #1-3 then have Whiteside.

Amir, Jerbeko, KO, Rozier, BKN 2018 should be more then enough. Throw in another 1st if need be.

The Heat are so bad that 3 if not all 4 of those guys would be starting for them! Brooklyn 2018 is another surefire building block, but they don't get 2017 for Whiteside.

I would swap 2017 for 2018 if they also included Justice Winslow, but I doubt they want to part with him.

[Celtics4ever]

I would go for Whiteside,

You would of course, but Riley would rather see us suffer than ever help us, folks.  No way he makes a trade that helps us.

[Stig]

I hope Heat fails to trade any of their players (ok, except winslow), that way they won't be able to threat the Nets for the worst team in the league
