Bad trade for Miami if you ask me.Now that is the guy the Cavs need(whiteside),they need a rim protector.He won't get many looks in Houston with ball hog Harden but should get more then he did in Miami.

Except whiteside really not that great a rim protector. Rotates off his man way too much. Observed this for some time, there was recent article about it I read as well.

But that is what Cleveland needs because they get beat off the ball all the time,they need a big that can rotate over and block the layup,he is probably best shot blocker in the game right now....So your saying he gets drawn away from the rim by the big to often?

Cleveland lets guys go to the hoop effortlessly,all you need is one fake either way and they try and jump it leading to easy backdoors or counter moves but if they had Whiteside on the back side to counter there inability to be onball defenders that would help their cause immensely...

If he was in Cleveland he could average a triple double with pts,rebs and blocks because Cavs dont stay in front of their defender and get beat to the hoop routinely so he would clean up on help out blocks.

1. This deal is on hold because Bosh is back on blood thinners and is most likely done for the year.

2. The Heat will NEVER pay him next year...So a deal now is better than him WALKING.

3. Howard is unmotivated playing Houston...Bet you he plays like the OLD DWIGHT in Miami.

4. The Heat are much better defensively with WHITESIDE on the floor look up the #'s BUT
his lack of experience and his immaturity at 27 is a HUGE ISSUE FOR RILEY...Come on SHAQ had more poise at 21. This guy thinks he is bigger than the game....RILEY & WADE are done trying to work with him.

Possible deals on the table for Miami....Besides the tax $$ move sending Birdman to Memphis.

Whiteside & Dragic to Atlanta for Horford & Teague....Possibly 3rd team. (VERY REAL HORFORD IS DONE IS ATL)

Heat now looking to acquire Joe Johnson if Bosh is really done for the year (RUMBLINGS ARE HE IS)

Food for thought.

Bye the way Cleveland HAS NO ONE TO GIVE AWAY....NO ONE WANTS SHUMPERT OR SMITH.
