Waiters likely on his way to Memphis (or possibly OKC)

[jncuse]

The Heat acquired Iguodala earlier today, and will likely add Gallinari as well in a 3 way with OKC/Memphis. They have to give up $39 million in salary to make it work, which all but guarantees that Waiters and James Johnson will be in the deal as filler.

Seems that Waiters would end up in Memphis to make it all work.

From the outside looking in- Dion started out so well in Miami- was a very key cog, got a big contract. Then injury and then he went over the edge (many times). Love his talent and hope he can recapture what he was starting to show.

Please not OKC

Tell me are you a Christian child?
And Dion said "Ma'am, I am tonight!"

Memphis has a lot of shooting guards. Part of me wants Grayson Allen to trip Dion in practice.

Hope he can get a fresh start!

Why would Memphis want him?

That is a very justifiable opinion. I do as well. Haven't followed him but he seemed to start off really well in Miami.

could be beginning of the end for dion. Not exactly a glue guy

 

[PauliePeppas]

Yikes...hope he can stick somewhere else

Shame Memphis has a fun team. Dion doesn’t look in very good shape last I saw.

 

[miamicuse]

Memphis told Dion not to bother showing up.

 

[OrangeDW]

Come to LA. Dion>>> Collison.

He wasn't a good fit in Miami. He defends well but offensively limited they tried him at point and it's wasn't a good fit there either. Then he hurt his back took some time off, then after cleared by team doctors he played one game and said his back was still sore. That was a bit of drama there where he felt Miami nudged him back prematurely. Winslow and team were a bit at odds since, kind of like Leonard and San Antonio. It's probably a good move for both sides. As for James Johnson and Dion Waiters the Heat can't wait to get rid of them, Johnson reported out of condition to training camp, Dion suspended three times.

Didn’t Waiters play with LeBron in Cleveland? I don’t think LeBron is a fan.

It will not be before they get through the many players above him on their list and see if they want to come first.

I suspect he will get a chance with one of the playoff teams, but I doubt it will be the Lakers who could have their pick of the litter in this buyout market.

Teams will take chances on players without issues first. But he still has value, so some non-elite playoff team who has to settle for left-overs, will give him a shot I think.

For like half a season. Dion played a big role with a really good OKC team that easily couldve won a championship since that time. At his best, he’s better than Collison as well as several other guards already on the team.

I think he severely damaged his stock with his antics earlier this year though so I can’t blame any team for avoiding him. Hope someone gives him a shot and it pays off though.

Durant and Dion are close so he does have some friends in the league...

He’s a considerably better 3 point shooter than he gets credit for
