Blah blah blah". Next thing you know, we got Cuban with paperwork in hand driving all over Miami trying to find out which nightclub he's in.

I wouldn't worry about that at all. It's extremely rare for players to renege on verbal commitments. Verbal commitments are taken very seriously in the NBA, and it's a big deal when somebody breaks one. Other than DJ, the only guy I think of off the top of my head who did it was Carlos Boozer, and that was over decade ago. Besides, my impression of Whiteside is that he doesn't have any pretensions about being a "cornerstone." He just wants to make as much money as he can.
