Miami Heat is currently in a bind as it grapples with cap space dilemma. With three of its core players set to become free agents on top of an ongoing Chris Bosh blood clot saga, re-signing Hassan Whiteside will definitely meet a competitive and juicier max contract offer from LA Lakers.
After their exit from the playoffs, Miami Heat is reportedly eyeing to sign in Kevin Durant on a max contract offer in a bid to build a more formidable roster. The Heat may need to think things over as it would force Dwayne Wade on a pay cut while Hassan Whiteside will be offered a max deal.
Chris Bosh may be facing the worst times in his NBA career amid a looming possibility of a medical retirement following recurring bouts of blood clots. The franchise fears that he might not be medically cleared to play again which affects how the team plans for the future.
Heat’s Hassan Whiteside hits back at DeMar DeRozan’s postgame comment after the Raptors shooting guard belittled Miami center’s performance in comparison with Toronto’s big man Jonas Valanciunas. Meanwhile, Miami and Toronto both lost their centers in Game 3 due to knee injury and sprained ankle.
Miami Heat remains unusually silent on signing center Hassan Whiteside back on max contract despite the player’s recent good performance. Meanwhile, Miami is reportedly joining a number of NBA teams pitching for a contract with Kevin Durant.
