Dion Waiters

[samspann1]

Champion.

‘Grats, Dion.

 

[JLine]

Hell ya, Dion. Pay no mind to the clueless haters.

Now we just need LA to draft Eli at 28 and sign Melo this offseason. Run up these title numbers for us

Would have had an NCAA ring too if we just played Fab

Seeing the blatant cheating of some of these coaches that have been recorded - and nothing happens!! - has me thinking the same. Cuse and Kentucky were definitely the two best teams all year. Ohio State was good, but with refs that aren’t crooked and Fab Melo playing, its very likely that we beat them. Would’ve at least been in the final four. From there it was Kansas, again we were better than them all year, and Kentucky - which would’ve been 50/50 IMO. They had the best player, but for once we were just as deep and loaded as them and...we had the better game coach.

Does he for sure get a ring? How many games did he dress for? I'm sure he does but who decides on who gets a ring and who doesn't?

So much uhhh...”cat” in this thread, and for what? Congrats Dion!

Doesn’t matter if he dressed for any.
He was on the roster. They won a ‘ship.
Dion gets a ring.

Now - as to former players who were traded, left, or got injured during the season -
honestly, I dunno if it’s the front office and/or coaches & players who decide who does - or does not - get a ring.

Taking an edible in his honor let’s go

On a related note Dions son is just a pup but like Melo and Kiyan Dion has him started early on being a hooper and kid can ball. Maybe another legacy down the road?

Only if, at the end of the day, he stays humble and hungry.

Attempting a comeback after not playing in the NBA for 3 years at age 31 would not be easy for anyone. I can’t imagine it would be easy to stay in shape that long especially for Dion. Did Dion play anywhere recently?

Just offer him a scholarship right now. I'm not even kidding

Dion has a category named after him on the popular podcast The Rewatchables.

And it's a superlative

 

[Trueblue25]

Dion has my full support. He’s grown up and maybe has some talent left to show. Melo wasn’t done either

 

[DoctorBombay]

Go for it, Dion! Why the hell not?

 

[sufandu]

If he's decided to work, there's no reason he couldn't get himself in shape. 31 isn't young but it's not old yet either. There's no reason he couldn't help someone if he's humble and willing to kill whatever role a team asks him to play.

 

[miamicuse]

What has he been doing the last few years?

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Has looked heavy on his instagram of recent. Would be surprised if anyone shows real interest.

 

[Hopkins16]

His Miami mansion went up for sale this spring for 18 million. He will be fine if he gets/got the asking price.
