Hassan Whiteside reportedly wants to re-sign with Heat

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside's preference is to re-sign with the Heat "if all things are equal financially," according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

What It Means:

This means it will likely come down to whether the Heat are willing to offer him a max contract, as it looks like he should be able to command that kind of offer elsewhere.

He ranked ninth in the league with a 12.4 nERD this season, while posting a 23.1 percent total rebound rate, a league-leading 9.7 percent block rate and a career-high .629 True Shooting Percentage.
