Whiteside is still considered one of the best big in the league. Good rebounder, good shot blocker and defensive presence. He has 2 more year in his contract at 28. Not really the future but ok for the next 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are in a great spot! REALLY want us to lose this Dallas game this week. They are the only team I am really worried about passing our odds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billy5783 14 Report post Posted April 2, 2018 I'm just preparing myself mentally for getting really good odds and then falling a spot or two in the lotto. I don't think I can handle the salt from Rossman-Reich on twitter if that happens. He has become so unbearable with his anti-tank campaign Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why sometimes tanking is not always successful. It will not guarantee the number one spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lotto odds don't guarantee anything, but for a franchise in our position, it is the only way to build a competitive roster. Get a true centerpiece and everything starts to fall into place in FA and such. Nobody wants to play for us right now cause we don't have a GREAT building block yet. Maybe the guys we have can get developed, but I think we have to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Porter it all depends on how his medicals check out and how he tests. If the doctors say he will be able to play then I think he might be worth a shot. Definitely don't waste it on THINKING he is gonna be fine though. Only if we get great reports and workouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He WILL be able to play, the question is how much will he be able to play? Back injuries and basketball don't go well together. Besides, he really hasn't shown anything that great to take that risk when there are so many other players that will be available in the top 5 that did NOT have back surgeries.

I think Porter will impress with his workouts and will be selected high in the top 3 position. At least I surely hope so. It will increase our chances to select Doncic. So we should be rooting for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
