Dion Waiters; master chemist. lol.

Hes on the Heat now.
Much higher standard to live up to.

Hows the Whitseside meltdown promise going for you?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Would you be referring to the bull$h*! noise that came from his franchise player?

He's too stupid to realize that Lebron created this noise. Dude is clueless

There was zero noise before lbj hissy fit

Winner x 1000

Buyouts always go to top teams.
Nothing here is news

I dont understand why they waived him. If anything he plays limited minutes off the bench?

Yea doesn't make sense. I have my doubts about them making the playoffs

How much $$ was he holding up? They could be trying to make room to try and max Cousins.

He was making about $1M this year -- then is a UFA after the season.

The must not like him.

Damn, I didn't do any research, just threw that out there because that is a really wtf? move.

 

[Shanemansj13]

They shit all over Terrance Jones. He was a great addition off the bench.

He signed there because they told him he would get a ton of minutes. But with Boggie and Donatas Motiejunas thats a wrap. So they are giving him a chance to go elsewhere.
.

Jones signed with the Pelicans last July for a veteran’s minimum contract with the expectation of getting ample playing time, which he received, appearing in 51 games and starting 12The acquisition of DeMarcus Cousins was going to significantly reduce Jones’ role, which grew to 24.8 minutes, 11.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as the Pelicans’ second-best frontcourt player. However, with Cousins expected to take the lion’s share of those minutes, the Pelicans and Jones reached an understanding about his departure..Pelicans waive power forward Terrence Jones in 'mutual decision,' sources say

I would shit on him too for Boogie.

They still need a bench though. Motie can play center right? Why not use Terrance as backup PF for only $1. It's not like he was getting a ton of minutes before they got Cousins.

He wants to get paid and didnt think he could showcase his skills with the new front court players. I think its good that NOLA let him go since they arent going to be able to keep their word.

I actually would love for the Heat to sign terrance jones.

Dude played really well in Houston until injuries derailed him.

I'd take him as a reclamation project too.

We would get stronger at the PF position. They love James Johnson in his 6th man role but to have Terrance Jones starting rather than Babbitt would be nice

Bird rights on Boogie.

It was a make good because they couldn't live up to their end of the bargain of major minutes.

Dude is playing for NBA welfare.

 

[Bolts]

I'd be happy if the Kings got Jones, but I know it won't happen.
