All silver has to do is change the amount of time hack-a can be used. Mqybe cut it off at the 5 minute mark or higher. Maybe it can only be used after the 2 minute mark which is basically hiw it is now when teams try to stop the clock. Its really just the amount of time that changes everything.

or change the rules to speed up the game and punish poor ft shooters
if you go 0/2 at the line you get a foul
that way these guys can just foul out asap and we can watch basketball

Give the team getting intentionally fouled the option to shoot the free throws or inbound the ball. Situation resolved.

No rule change needed. Just send out a league wide mandate to stop with the excessive intentional fouls. It's ridiculous and ******s the flow of the game.

but we should trade him while his stock is high they said
Just because "good centers are the hardest position to come by in the league" doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to trade him.
Wades clock is ticking and Whiteside is gonna get the max. This heat team won't come out of the east this year, they are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the L. The game has evolved and Whiteside will be useless against teams running small ball lineups. You act like he's guaranteeing he will resign with Miami even if they offered him the max. He could easily bounce and Miami is left with nothing. In almost every other situation it would make all the sense in the world to keep him because he is a really good player for his position, but this is the situation Miami is in right now. you mad?

if we are gonna protect bad free throw shooters, what's next? nobody was crying when teams basically dare tony allen or any bad shooter to shoot?

I don't think its protecting, the game is supposed to be entertaining all 4 qtrs. Nothing is fun fouling the same guy consistently and bricking FTs its get mad boring and pro longs the game. Either way they gonna have to go to the charity stripe some point in the game.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Whiteside fall apart after he gets paid. Seems like something is going on between him and the Miami org, is that true?

Nope. I'm with ya...
People need to understand that disrupting the flow of the game is half the strategy in this. It's only disrupting the flow one way once it becomes strategic and that's when a team like the Clippers or Houston has the ball. There's still flow, but it's only one way and it favors the team that does the fouling. Put DJ or Dwight on the line, they miss the second FT (or even if they make it) and then head back the other way. Score, foul, stops the opponents flow and rhythm and they go back the other way again. Of course Clippers fans and players are gonna be upset. The game is in the hands of bum *** Jordan all the time.

your arguing apples and oranges. you guys dont have a good argument whatsoever for why this cheesy tactic shouldnt be changed. all i hear is that then they are millionaires and its not that hard , yeah none of that makes sense or are valid reasons for why this rule shouldnt be changed. . i want to see the game and actual game play. not you cant stop somebody and your lazy so lets foul. thats good defense according to some of you dudes. its cheesy period. same dudes arguing probably be cheating online in 2k and ish like that. nah. im not with that. i like basketball and you should get penalize for fouling. it should never be a reward .
. yeah i cant see why people are so for this type of nonsense.

I play kobe on rondo defense whenever i guard someone who cant shoot
I dont need to use up my energy on D and the other player is tempted into taking a low % shot
it's not lazy, its smart and good defense

when you playing the game . sure , leave the guy who cant shoot open that is smart d. . but fouling cause you dont want to play d and your banking on missed free throws is lazy d and cheesy . miss me with that . thats just
not wanting to play d period. that shouldnt be allowed.

im not saying the rules should not be changed
but as the rules currently work, fouling a bad freethrow shooter is strategy and being smart. it's not lazy
teams dont do it because they are too lazy to play defense, they do it because statistically the other team will probably score more points in a half court set than their worst free throw shooter shooting freethrows

He said they are unsure about maxing him, not dislike. We're capped and if this core can't be tweaked into contention then fully committing to them financially is a sore sight. Heat doesn't have much of a choice tho... He hasn't had any off court/on court issues to take account to, that's media stirfry

you right then. i agree with that as ive stated if i was a coach i would have no problem doing it , because the rules allow it. as a fan im against it. its kills the game and enjoyment of the game for me. it shouldnt be allow because of that. im only a fan and only care about my enjoyment. . its a penalty , it should never benefit teams that do it intentionally. like i said two shots and the ball and well never have to see this crap again.

leaving a bad shooter open on the perimeter = smart
going at a bad defender on offense = smart
You're taught from a young age to exploit the other teams' weakness and for some teams their weakness is FT shooting. I understand why the intentional foul rule will be changed but i don't think it needs to be changed.
