“I want to start and I believe that I should at the two,” Waiters said.
During Summer League, Wiggins, if retained, says he views himself as a shooting guard rather than a three, which is a smart thing to say considering the position that new guy plays. So, if the roster currently constructed is the roster three months from now, Wiggins and Waiters will be battling it out.
“I just say how I feel,” he said. “I’m going to do whatever is best for the team, of course, but at the end of the day, I’m a man and I’m confident in myself. I’ve always been a guy that gives it right to you. I’ve never been a guy that plays that political stuff. I was brought up that way. I’m straightforward. I give my honest opinion. I’m not going to sit here and hide. They asked a question and I tell you.”
Cool. So in 30-60 days, a disgruntled Waiters will demand a trade.
So now in the 3-way trade, Ainge will offer Bogans who is the highest UN-guaranteed contract, and maybe send a pick, and a second rounder for Waiters.
Does anyone want him, or do people think his truthful and blunt honesty is another clear example of his 'attitude?'
I think Waiters can become a star in the making. He just needs a vote of confidence, and someone that believes in him, and is willing to work with him.
Our back court may be stuffed, but I would love to see Waiters on our team. Especially if Ainge can find a player to take on Marcus Thorntorn, and someone else.
