Miami’s Spoelstra on Whiteside Rant: ‘It’s Behind Us’
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters Monday that he met with Hassan Whiteside to discuss the center’s rant after Saturday’s game and that the team is “moving on.”
The Heat fined Whiteside an undisclosed amount Sunday for “comments detrimental to the team” after Miami’s 110-109 overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Whiteside had questioned the Heat’s decision to match the Nets when they went to a small lineup, when “we’ve got one of the best centers in the league.”

The Los Angeles Lakers are engaged in talks to try to acquire Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza, league sources told ESPN.
The teams have been working to reach an agreement with a third team that would take on Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as part of a potentially larger deal, league sources said.
The Suns want to land a playmaking guard and a draft asset as the price of unloading Ariza, sources said. Phoenix and Los Angeles have made progress in third-team scenarios, although no agreements are close and both teams remain active in multiple trade discussions throughout the league, sources said.
