A: Well, in the wake of Mark Cuban following Hassan Whiteside on Twitter and then the ESPN report of the Mavericks making Whiteside a priority in free agency along with Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, it will be fascinating to see how far Cuban takes this against Pat Riley. After all, it's not as if the Mavericks and Heat have any sort of rivalry or history, is there? Remember, Cuban not only lost out on DeAndre Jordan last summer after Jordan backed out of his Mavericks deal to return to the Clippers, but he also lost Tyson Chandler to the Suns in free agency. Dallas did regroup with a quality season from Zaza Pachulia, but you can figure they will go to the mat and the max when it comes to Whiteside, with both Texas and Florida among states without an income tax. As much as anything, the Mavericks' fascination with Whiteside could get in the way of Riley attempting to line up his ducks and perhaps get a bit of a giveback from Whiteside. It will be interesting to see what happens if Riley is forced to go big and go early with Whiteside how it plays out with Dwyane Wade, who seemingly has stood as a backburner issue in recent free agency. Hopefully Hassan is in full Snapchat mode on July 1 at 12:01 a.m., at least then we'll all be able to witness Cuban's presentation.
