Actually very disappointed we didn't at least even try to float an offer at Waiters.

He definitely didn't impress me in the regular season, but his defense against Spurs was underrated, and definitely key in how he bodied up Kawhi Leonard, and made it tough for him to score in rhythm.

Its such a shame players have such a high ego of themselves, and the inability to put their career on the line by working harder to perfect the weaknesses. Waiters should've at least gotten 10-12 million, which is funny the Nets, of all teams, didn't even think he was worth that contract.

He just doesn't shoot threes well enough. Sorry Dion.

BTW, I would never want him in green, even for two pair of old socks. He seems to behave like a diva, but lack the talent necessary to make people swallow you.

Look LBJ, he is the ultimate diva, in my opinion, but people have to swallow him because of the fact that he is very good at his job.

I don't disagree, but I swear a few years ago before Lebron returned to Cleveland a lot of folks on CB were trying to figure out how to work a trade to get him here. His potential back then much higher than what he turned out to be.

I swear I was telling people back then that Waiters was undesirable trash.

Great opportunity for Waiters. The loss of D-Wade creates a large hole that Waiters can step into and help Miami. Lots of touches. Time on the ball. PnRs. Shots. Great opportunity to show what he can do given the opportunity.

I hope Waiters takes advantage of this.

He could be a really good pro player if he sorts his head out.

Ditto.

Guy is terrible, I don't see the fascination with him at all. An inefficient black hole on offense, and mediocre at everything else.

He'll be out of the league in a few years, teams will give him more shots because of where he was drafted, but I don't see any BBIQ there to build on.
