Dion finished strong. Hopefully he gets along with Mike Brown.

If Kyrie can shore up his defense, that back court will really be a force.

14.7 … Dion Waiters’ scoring average, tops among all Eastern Conference rookies.

Yea, but still wasn't good enough to start at SU

It'll be interesting to see where he finishes in the voting. Lilliard certainly deserves it but Dion finishing 2nd would be nice.

Not sure if this was posted but ESPN did their own voting...

Why would they hire Mike Brown... again.

Dion might be on the trading block - Cavs looking to acquire Aldridge - don't imagine they would trade Irving, so it is hard to see a package being put together that would not include Dion in such a deal.

I'd say Dion should be 3rd or 4th with Lillard and Davis as easily the top 2. Beal was pretty outstanding when Wall came back, as I predicted he would be lol.

Apparently the Cavs want to go after LaMarcus Aldridge, and while Tristan Thompson would pretty much be a lock to be involved in the deal, there's a chance Waiters could get traded to Portland as well.

Personally, I don't see Irving/Waiters/LMA working out unless Irving or Waiters learn to pass the ball more. Three guys that just want to score and not play defense, rebound, or pass is just too many.
