Hassan Whiteside laughs off trade talk on Twitter

Hassan Whiteside has poked fun at a follower on Twitter after he suggested that the Miami Heat could trade the center to move up in Thursday's NBA Draft.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Heat to become a pivotal part of their future plans, and he was quick to respond to a fan who claimed that the franchise would be wise to trade him in an attempt to acquire Duke small forward Justise Winslow in the Draft.

This is how you get fired as a GM 😭😂😂😂 #NBADraft https://t.co/XTRNSoNb5b
