Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside, an unrestricted free agent whom the Lakers plan to “aggressively pursue”, recently spoke to reporters on the status of his free agency.
Whiteside said he wants to know what team he’ll play for next season by July 1st, and also failed to provide any substantial answer when asked if he’d stay in Miami “if all things are equal.”
If those remarks aren’t encouraging enough to Lakers fans who hope to see the big man don the purple and gold next season, Whiteside later stated that he’ll prioritize the best possible situation for him over loyalty.
