    Question Hassan Whiteside?

    The Memphis Grizzles waived center Hassan Whiteside, Whiteside is 7'0 ft and 275 lbs and only 25 years old. My question would you take a chance on him? My question is who would you rather have Whitey or Whiteside.

    also people like jordan hamilton, quincy miller, beasley are still free agents.

    We're collecting Kings player now? Reke, Caspi(don't work out), Salmon, Jimmer and Whiteside. I am sure Robinson can be have for cheap while we're at it.

    Approval might be granted if solid reasoning is provided

    What's the point in signing Whiteside when the guy you will cut to make room for him, Withey, doesn't even see the floor?

    Approval shouldn't be needed to have a discussion.

    This guy's name comes up at least once a year here. It's pretty hilarious.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    First, he's listed at 235 not 275, he was always a stickman type so I'd be pretty surprised if he had put on that much bulk. Also, isn't his only NBA skill being really tall? There's a reason he hasn't been in the league for 2 years. He's been bouncing around the DLeauge and Euroleague since he left. We grabbed Ajinca after he was one of the better players in his league, same with Ayon, and Babbit was a lead player on his team. Whiteside has been a journeyman type internationally and in the DLeague. If he can't find a team in the lesser leagues that wants to hold onto him, why would we want him?

    I was obviously joking using YOUR wording.

    Personally, I just like good, sound reasoning. And the "it couldn't hurt" logic is not that to me. So, I make fun of it to keep myself sane.

    Fun fact: Nerlens Noel is shooting 41% from the field and 33% from the line for Philly, in 250 minutes of action. He is way closer to Hassan Whiteside than he is to AD. Meanwhile, we have Jrue Holliday! Thanks Dell!

    I know you were joking because you have done the same thing in almost every FA thread, and I've jokingly responded the same way in most of those.

    That's fine, it was MY wording that I used once, ok flame me for it. So does that mean now you are going to post in every FA thread with the sarcastic "It couldn't hurt" response?

    Probably. You have no idea how much ridiculous stuff I have to read every day between my twitter account, emails people send me, comments on articles, and message board stuff. I need to do stuff like this to keep my sanity.

    I can only imagine, I know you're joking, and I'm joking too.
