Windhorst: "Whiteside not a Heat player"

[Pugz]

Hassan Whiteside will be a free agent in the offseason and the Miami Heat don't own his Bird Rights.

"This is a guy who is going to get a max contract in the summer. And he's absolutely not a Heat player," said Windhorst on Zach Lowe's podcast. "His style of play, his personality, the way he goes about his business is not congruent with the way the Heat normally go about themselves.

"The Heat have a decision to make: do you ride out the season with Whiteside or do you package him with (Luol) Deng before the deadline."

You obviously package him with Deng for Melo or Dwight if possible.

I dont understand the not a "Heat" player aspect though, maybe they mean like not a team player.

i think they mean he isnt a professional like bosh, wade, and maybe goran. hassan is young and isnt seasoned. maybe he likes partying

It don't think it's just the partying, they mentioned the way he conducts himself on the court, off the court, in the locker room, and out in public. They didn't explain but Lowe said something to the effect of "some of the Whiteside stories you here are crazy." Also talked about his work ethic.
