According to ESPN’s Chris Broussard the Heat are gauging interest for a Hassan Whiteside trade.
Hassan Whiteside may very well be one of the top five centers in the NBA. He leads the league in blocks, is fifth in the league in rebounds, and averages 12 points a game. He is the quintessential rim protector.
Further, he has a surprisingly soft touch and shows signs of developing a decent mid-range game. As a 55 percent free throw shooter, opposing coaches can no longer employ a hack-a-Whiteside tactic. Such an approach would now give up 110 points per 100 possessions.
