Ricky's not coming back. Flip will not let him back on that court until they've lost enough. Ricky was trying to come back by Christmas. It's damn near Groundhog Day. Ricky being out is Flip's "You can't blame me for this shyt" pass

Then Flip should actually say that.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
@Malta

How much $$$ is Whiteside looking at this off season?


The Heat have him locked up for 2 seasons, he'll be a RFA at the end of next year, he'll get a max deal if he keeps this type of play up, especially since they could potentially lock him into the old max.

I see people saying it's the Jeremy Lin shyt, but there's not much you can stop that he's having success at. 7'0" 265lbs, athletic and hungry, you can't really bottle that up like how Lin got exposed.

Yeah Riles was smart, he doesn't take chances with project bigs, there's always the option to get them for a second year. I think he did the same with Curry & Oden, this time he knocked it out the park and Whiteside is basically everything they wanted and more.

maybe im scarred by mark blount but a max deal? really? way too small a sample size, even if he does it the whole year.

I really thought Cole could be a good player in the NBA...

That first month or so of his rookie year he was balling.

What's going to change though? You can't really take away what he's doing, and he should get better in time as he learns how to play without picking up fouls, right now dude is extremely foul prone.

It's a small sample size, but he's a big man scoring / rebounding / blocking shots primarily because he's very athletic and big. Blount had been in the league years before you got shafted by him, and his numbers weren't as good as Whitesides starting numbers are right now.


At bare minimum he's going to be on par with DeAndre Jordan.
