Whiteside at times is a real factor when you play against him. But it is hot and cold. His teammates supposedely aren't big fans of his either. With that being said, I do wonder where he winds up. He could a nice bench player for a good team.
For me, a lot will depend on what they do with the third creator, and how it compares vs signing Dragic. I don't think my offseason grade will be higher than a B -. Maybe it can get to a C + or b - if I feel like this player can get to 75% of Jalen's production that I envisioned entering last season while keeping flexibility moving forward.
I don't see any way we are going to acquire somebody at this point that could get near 75% of Jalen's production. Dragic would not have done that. We would have to send out picks or a top 8 player to get there.
My offseason grade is a D. I would have gone up to C if they had signed Dragic, and if they manage to pull off Powell for Beverly swap it might be even a little higher, but I don't think he provides 75% of what we got from Brunson. I'm fairly sure the only player we are going to add to the roster this offseason that can give you that is Wood.
