As we approach Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, their is more and more buzz surrounding both Hassan Whiteside and Dwight Howard and their teams’ willingness to trade them.
The Heat may be ready to move on from Whiteside, who was ejected after receiving a Flagrant 2 foul after elbowing Spurs center Boban Marjanovic in Miami’s last game before the All Star break. His contract expires after the season and they may want to get something in return for the talent they unearthed last year.
For the Rockets, Howard is believed to be targeting free agency this summer by opting out of the final year of his deal.
