Major connections in the NBA. Connections to KD/Russell. Connects great with his players and his a great overall defensive coach. Has major potential. 

KD isn't going to Miami lol. He has no connections down there and that fact him and D-Wade are not that close. Lakers/Warriors/OKC/ will be his meetings this summer. 

JVG can stick to his day job on ESPN. 

Don't underestimate Pat Riley.

Add Washington to the list, won't be shocked if KD at least entertains the thought of going home.

Wait since when was 26 old, and I believe Whiteside to be a better center to a Towns, but very comparable to Jordan with a lot less mileage.

Wait a couple years... KAT will be one of the best if not the best big man in the NBA.

He very well might, but as of now Whiteside is the safer bet, and a center that almost every team in the league would love to have.

What? KAT is better right now than Whiteside is and doesn't have any of the drama with him.

I disagree I think I'd rather have a guy who's a better rebounding, and the best rim protector in the league. Yes he averages 4 less points a game, but also is taking a lot less shots.

KAT definitely has more skill on the offensive end. And is easily more mature(which isn't hard). But he averaged 18.3 points and 10.4 rebounds as a rookie. Who was the last rookie to do that? Shaq? But Whiteside is good. A monster on defense.

I mean Drummond and KAT are by far the best "young centers" in the NBA. If you consider Cousins young then he is definitely in the mix too. I'd take Gobert before I'd take Whiteside too, just because he is younger. Heck long term I'd take Turner every day of the week over Whiteside, a center that looks like he is going to be great from midrange, can step out and hit the three point shot, and projects as a great rim protector, yes please.

I'm not going to tell somebody not to take a chance on Towns, I just like the defense and rebounding of Whiteside better. Personally Cousins is the most poisonous player in the league, very talented but the definition of not worth the trouble, Turner and Gobert is just funny to say. Forgot about Drummond but has the same game as Whiteside just not as good as a rim protector.

You can't honestly believe that Whiteside and Drummond are identical players right? Drummond is one of the focal points of Detroit's offense, plus is a better rebounder than Whiteside.

Cousins and Drummond can take over games by themselves offensively, Whiteside can't. 

 

And yeah, Turner every single day of the week long term. KAT too it isn't even a risk with him

What offensive game does Drummond have beside dunking the ball? He is a better rebounder though can't argue that. Cousins is a great player just will never be a winning player because his attitude and he's all about himself. Alright you take Turner every franchise would rather have Whiteside.

Drummond has actually developed an offensive game. Something Whiteside hasn't. He still isn't consistent and gets by a more with just being an athletic monster for his size, but he has something resembling a back to the basket game now. 

 

Okay. Come back to me in 3 years.
