What other choice do we have
Breh, the time to tank and sell off assets was last year. We sell off Whiteside, we're not winning anymore but we don't have Picks this year. Bam simply isn't a starting center yet, as good as he is.
Whiteside doesn't have loads of value. People think he's a product of Spo and that he's a headcase. GMs weren't high on him and he's 29, he's injury prone, and he's inconsistent despite all his talent plus he's on a max contract.
He's too old for rebuilding teams and most of the contending teams aren't really looking for a center like him or don't want to make us better. Dragic is great but he's also older and most teams that needed a PG already got younger talent (Bucks, Mavs, etc).
I don't see the point in making moves unless they're either piling up picks for the honest rebuild or for a young superstar which just ain't available right now.
