There's absolutely nothing wrong with Waiters going to Philly.

1)  It's his hometown, and practically every NBA player would love the opportunity to start for their hometown team.

2)  Philly has a very young, promising team with plenty of money to spend on the right free agents.  So, there's no reason not to think they could be a Title contender in the near future.  Yeah, he's missing out on playing for a current Title contender, but I'd argue that it's worth it.  There's a huge difference between being the sixth man on a championship team and being a starter on a championship team.

3)  Most people would agree that getting paid the most for your services as you can is generally advisable.  That's not going to happen as a sixth man.

4)  We all heard about the locker room problems in Cleveland.  You can't blame a man for wanting to get away from that.

5)  If Wiggins doesn't get moved, he's Waiters' replacement.  I wouldn't want to play with a media darling rookie nipping at my heels constantly.  Sure, it can serve as motivation, but it can also get tiresome when you've already proven yourself as an above average SG in the league.
