Even if Waiters go elsewhere, as long as he has a starting job then he will earn a lot of shots. At least half of starting shooting guards in the league avg 12 shots per game or more. As a starting shooting guard in basketball, you will get double digit shot attempts. It is just how it works

yah based on his entire career.


Or maybe its the Heat culture striking once again?

Why is it that James Johnson can be pretty much garbage for the better part of a decade, but then comes here, drops 35-40 lbs and is as dynamic of a 6th man as there is in the league?

More like based on 2 years in Cleveland. Tell me again how he was a nightmare teammate in OKC. I'm still waiting


I'm still waiting to here where A.D and Cousins are rated.
@WiggyRuss is pretty good at pleading the 5th when he knows he's going to get his ass torn up (once again) if he answers.

It is just hilarious how Wiggy act like players can't improve/get better after their first or second year in the league.


Cause its never happened in Cleveland if James wasn't there.

It's odd, can you name any players that ever took significant steps in improving their career? It's a serious question. We've seen Lebron come to Miami and he took his game to a whole another level. But when you factor in guys who are role players, here's the recent list of players who at one point were low-level players improve to quality players, some even max contract players:

Whiteside
T. Johnson
J. Johnson
Waiters

People thought Waiters was garbage and a bust. Now he's setting himself up to get a long-term lucrative deal whether it be in Miami or somewhere else.

His issues w/ the Heat are bizarre.

Quite.
Heat fans only cared about any Cavs game once in the 4 years James was here, and that was our first game for James in Cleveland, which ruined their Gilbert sponsored hate party by the middle of the 1st qtr.

Danny Boy should write another letter but this time thanking the Balding One for returning to Cleveland.

ehh...Golden State is gonna get really top heavy and payroll problems will be coming along for them soon....

plus- you just never know how things work out--- no team wins a title without things breaking their way. the NBA changes fast.
Just want to throw this out there. Cavs have the highest payroll in the NBA.
