Heat’s Whiteside makes Snapchat recruiting video, uses Twitter emojis in sales pitch to Hayward

Hassan Whiteside promised us last month he would do his part in helping the Miami Heat recruit free agents this summer.

The 7-foot center has turned it up over the last 24 hours.

He created a beach-themed recruiting video for prospective free agents on Snapchat and then got himself involved in some playful Twitter trash-talk using emojis with Jazz center Rudy Gobert and Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas in the three-city battle over All-Star swingman Gordon Hayward.

Hayward was in Boston Sunday visiting with the Celtics brass at Fenway Park. He will return to Utan and visit the Jazz Monday.
