If Tristan Thompson can get 18M a year, what about Whiteside?

[Meticode]

Whiteside can get more money if he can establish himself as a dependable player. Thompson hasn't missed a game since he was drafted...ever. He's established himself as a top 5 offensive rebounder in the league, and he won't even make $18 million a year until the 5th year of his contract (2019-2020).

Whiteside has to check his attitude, check his work ethic and establish himself. He can do those things he'll be worth much more than Thompson, but it's all about risk and reward.

He can do all this while in Milwaukee winning chips with Giannis and Parker
