For those following the NBA trade rumors, things are becoming more intense and surprising as we near the new season. According to the latest NBA buzz, Miami Heat is considering a trade with Los Angeles Lakers involving Hassan Whiteside.
Hassan Whiteside is the current star in Miami Heat. The team lost Dwyane Wade to Chicago Bulls this offseason after Heat failed to push a negotiation in retaining Wade. Meanwhile, Pat Riley announced that Chris Bosh's career with the team is likely over.
So, is Heat really considering a trade involving their superstar Hassan Whiteside? Per Inquisitr, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers are in talks involving a four-player deal. Reports have it that Julius Randle, Nick Young and Timofey Mozgov will all play for Heat in exchange for Hassan Whiteside.
However, the NBA fans are divided when it comes to Lakers' benefit concerning this trade. Some think that this trade is not wise for Lakers. It is not practical to trade three players for one.
Meanwhile, others think that pushing this deal will give Lakers a future given Hassan Whiteside's potential. Unfortunately, the team will also lose their promising player, Julius Randle.
Reports have it that Hassan Whiteside's breakthrough will be a huge upgrade for Los Angeles Lakers. At the time, Whiteside is enjoying a max contract that is paying him $98 million in the next four years.
However, some are concerned that after getting such huge play, Hassan Whiteside will revert to be an underachiever. One of the concerns about Whiteside is his lack of motivation. But on the other side, Whiteside could also use his huge contract as motivation to play better because this could mean a better deal when his current contract is over.
Meanwhile, there are rumors that Miami Heat is desperate for a superstar and is currently trading for Kevin Love. As previously mentioned Heat just lost Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. So, is it possible that they are trading their last superstar?
