NBA Trade Rumours: 3 Miami Heat stars being linked with an imminent trade

#2 Hassan Whiteside

Hassan Whiteside's game hasn't aged well in the modern NBA

When the Heat signed Hassan Whiteside in 2014, they believed the center would soon develop into an All-Star performer. However, Whiteside has failed to live up to his early potential, and Ryan Yousefi of the Miami New Times believes that the Heat will be desperate to trade the 29-year-old this summer,

Whiteside makes no sense for the Heat moving forward. He will be nothing more than a situational role player off the bench for a team trying to rebuild for the future. He's a niche player who flashes dominance when the going is easy, but turtles when the Heat needs him most.

Oh, and he's the team's most expensive player. The Heat should hope he asks for a trade, even if its trade leverage tanks. Paying someone to take Whiteside off the team's hands would be a win at this point.

Whiteside's minutes were reduced to a near career-low 23.3 per game during the 18/19 season, although he still managed to average a double-double.
