4. Hassan Whiteside, Unrestricted
Hassan Whiteside is another center that is going to have teams drooling over him as soon as free agency opens July 1. The Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics, among other teams, will be all over Whiteside as they try to lure him away from Miami.
Question is, will the Heat pony up the necessary money to retain the big man? That’s not a slam dunk decision. We obviously don’t know that yet.
Ultimately, it’s going to come down to whether or not the Heat prioritizes Whiteside this summer. If they do, all signs point to him re-signing in Miami.
Prediction: Signs four-year max with Miami
Next: No. 3
