Waiters to Miami

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Heat sign Waiters.

 

[bksballer89]

Miami starting lineup is Dragic, Waiters, Winslow, Bosh*, & Hassan.

Not bad at all

Waiters just passed Sully as the biggest loser in free agency

Ezeli has to be on that list too. He got a 2 year 15M deal from Portland with the second year a team option. This was a guy who was supposed to command an easy 4 year 60M deal at worst coming into last season and even half-way through this season.

Mecca- maybe you remember

remember when Brandon Roy got injury waived by the Blazers- and then Minnesota signed him?

who- before that- did the Blazers really piss the Twolves off about signing someone from them witht he poison pill type deal?

because then- Minne came back- and signed Roy- after the injury thing with Portland--- and ALL that money went back on Portlands books screwing them.......

do you remember what i am talking about?

Batum?

I like it.

Dion played well with the Thunder.

Now he gets the chance to shine.

Yep and he is motivated. Get to ball out for a year and get a big pay day next summer.

hmmmmm.......yah that was it i think....it was something to do with Batum...

and minne screwed them back by signing Roy...

this is just relevant because someone could do the same with Bosh....think Gilbert would hesitate to sign bosh to a small deal- if he wants to play- with LBJ convincing him to come in--- and then have all that money go back on the Heats books--- that is IF They force Bosh out and someone else is willing to sign him- which of course has not happened yet.

if Bosh really wants to play and gets cleared- all it would take is 1 team to give Bosh 25 games to stick a dagger in the Heats cap for 2 extra years.

Like Darius Miles.

Perfect storm for him.

You think you guys are gonna play fast next year?

Dragic, Waiters at sg, Winslow at the 3.....

I like it.

he picked a bad time to trip on his dick...

i like Waiters there too if he has figured out he is not the #1 option....dude seriously thought he was better than Kyrie and should get shots on the same line with Lebron...

not even joking

Most likely. Bosh and Wade (mainly Wade) were the only 2 reasons we didn't play fast last year until Bosh went down

Gilbert would be the biggest scum bag on the planet to risk a player's life just to try and fuck over the Heat. I'm also not convinced that he's that much of an idiot considering the lawsuit that would be pending should Bosh drop and die on the court if that were to ever happen.

Dion waiters was not good last season but.... At the price is a solid signing

disagree about him having a bad season

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

disagree about him having a bad season

Averaged less than 10ppg and shot under 40% from the field. Not great

Agree. He was decent

For a bench player that is fine. The shooting % isn't what you want it to be but I don't think any one with a brain would have a problem with someone off their bench avg about 10 PPG. That is solid production for the role he was in.
