Whiteside could be a third string center next year. Dude has the mental toughness of Bynum
Bynum came back from 2 terrible knee injuries and had his all-star season essentially on one leg.
Bynum's mental toughness didn't derail his career, his knees could no longer hold up.
I swear people have the memory of a fish sometimes and forget the pain he pushed through for us against Boston where he was grimacing every time he ran down the court. I don't see Whiteside doing that. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

The version of Bynum after Phil Jackson retired, sure. He wasn’t a head case when Phil was there. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

There’s a difference between a hard foul and making a dirty play. Bynum made several dirty plays. That’s just not toughness at all. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

I'm exaggerating this to make a point... but one could argue that Whiteside quits on the court, and no one wants to touch him.
Kawhi quits off the court, and some want to trade half our core and give a max without seeing how he's able to play.
Amazing how perception can give people a 180% degree perspective.
I'm not saying Kawhi quit for sure... I'm asking what if Whiteside's doctors said he couldn't play. Would this make him a sympathetic character?
Regardless, we need to get to the bottom of this issue and make moves only after doing extremely careful due diligence.
Maybe KL doesn't want to do a IT and make his injury worse. Besides, Whiteside is not even a franchise level player let alone Leonard who's a MVP candidate when healthy. _________________ Showtime 2.0

Would you still think that if it had been a Laker at the receiving end of these plays?

Barea one was disgusting. (bleep) like that has no place in the basketball court. Down 30, take a cheap shot like that on a guy more than a foot shorter than you. Dirty. Nothing tough about that. Just dirty.

I get that... all I'm saying is you have two unhappy players... one plays and is roasted by fans and the media. One doesn't and people are trading up to four valuable assets for his services.
It's like Whiteside is being punished for actually playing, while Kawhi is rewarded for not doing so. I just found that odd.

Bynum was mentally tough, Phil’s mind games never got to him. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
You’d have to trade to get him and he’s not worth trading for imo. He doesn’t fit with what the Lakers are doing or where they’re going at all. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.
