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.”

We detailed here where things stood with Mills and general manager Scott Perry prior to the Fizdale firing.
If Mills and Perry are let go after the season, Masai Ujiri will be one of the top candidates on the Knicks’ wish list.
Will the Knicks have a shot at landing Ujiri? That’s unclear. But once the Knicks started struggling last month, multiple Madison Square Garden people in positions of influence have been ‘obsessed’ with – and ‘enamored’ by – the Raptors executive, per SNY sources.
