Hassan Whiteside focused on Dallas, Miami

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside, an impending free agent, is reportedly focused on signing with either the Dallas Mavericks or the Heat.

What It Means:

Dallas is expected to offer the most money, so Miami will be hoping Whiteside wants to stay with the team who gave him his first shot in the league.

Whiteside had an excellent season, averaging 14.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and a league-leading 3.7 blocks per game. He posted a 23.1 percent total rebound rate, 9.7 percent block rate, 62.9 True Shooting Percentage, and ranked ninth in the NBA with a 12.4 nERD. Whiteside should put up similar numbers in either Miami or Dallas.
