One of the available pieces on the market in free agency is Hassan Whiteside. Having emerged as a star over the past couple of seasons, Whiteside is quickly becoming one of the best centers in the NBA and with the rising salary cap, he stands to make a lot of money in free agency.

Whiteside has no shortage of suitors and there are plenty of teams that could use a great anchor in the middle in free agency, as they hope it puts them over the top. While most teams at the top will prioritize Kevin Durant first, everyone will still be checking in on Whiteside, but the center is expected to make a quick decision.

That could mean all the difference in the world for a team that puts Whiteside at the top of their priorities. The Dallas Mavericks are expected to meet with him as free agency begins and the Miami Heat will look into retaining their star center as well.

It’s just a matter of which team is able to secure his services first. With free agency knocking on the door, these are the five best fits for Hassan Whiteside.
