"Dion Waiters is the worst thing to happen to professional basketball"
Thu Nov-21-13 11:59 AM by Basaglia

  

          

Primarily, this is an anti-jinx attempt. I hope that by bringing the board's attention to how bad this Philly-rockin' 20 foot pull-up bamma is at basketball, SOMEHOW the basketball Gods will prove me wrong, as they so often love to do.

But it won't happen. So, I'm here to confess and apologize.

1. I'm scared. Just gonna put it out there. I believe Kyrie is one of the most talented players I've ever seen in my life and right now he is dealing with the kinda toxic situation I haven't seen since Jamal Crawford, Jalen Rose, Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry made life miserable for Jason Williams his rookie year in Chicago...because they were jealous of him. He could do things on the court that they simply weren't capable of and they didn't like him.

I feel like Dion, being the fake thug/bamma he is is turning players against Kyrie, talmbout he not giving "US" the ball enough, because he is jealous. And this is all because he's been playing basketball most of his life and he STILL doesn't know how to create a shot for himself WITHOUT THE BALL...he don't MOVE. If you watch Klay or Beal, the best two young SGs, they pass the ball and SLIDE/FADE/DRIFT to OPEN AREAS on the basketball court. This is SIMPLE stuff. He don't do it. He stands and waits for the ball. It's disgusting. And his release is absolutely USPS-slow. Beal and Klay...catch, straight up, fire. Dion? Catch, think, bounce, rock, fade on a contested J a foot inside the line...miss.

2. I apologize to everyone who said Beal was a beast...even Chad Ford. I also even apologize to Truth, even though he's a bamma and this is the only thing he's ever been right about on this board, as far as I can remember. And I'm still ignoring all his posts like he don't exists.

I also apologize to OE for disagreeing that Lance Stephenson would be a better fit. Even tho Lance isn't the knockdown shooter I want alongside Kyrie...he waaaaay better than what there right now. I'd take Rodney Stuckey over what's there. EASY.


so, hopefully this show of agenda-vulnerability will bring me some karmic blessings and Kyrie can make the All-Star team despite this mess, because, honestly, that's all I can look forward to I think.

Cavs real sorry.

They going to the lottery again and I know Chris Grant ain't gonna do nothing but try to outsmart everyone again and take Dante Exum or Gary Harris with a top 3 pick.


And I reserve my right to Cuban B this post if the Cavs turn it around. But they won't.

Dec 11th 2013
241

Dec 08th 2013

Dec 08th 2013
209
           Let him do it a YEAR, bitch
Dec 08th 2013
210
                He has to have the ball in order to score
Dec 09th 2013

2nd year Dion was off. Glad Kyrie showed up tonight & shared the ball
Dec 10th 2013
235
      They'd be better if they traded Dion
Dec 10th 2013
236
There's no way Brown thought Dion was gonna pass the ball to Kyrie
Dec 28th 2013
245
Kyrie has no issue with Dion. It's one-sided
Dec 28th 2013
246
I just want him fuckin gone. This is painful.
Dec 29th 2013
247
Up this thread when Dion has a good game
Dec 29th 2013
248
i don't have to say anything. dion's play speaks for itself

249
      You re-read the thread, trig.
Dec 30th 2013
250
           Dogg, Kyrie has lived up to billing...Dion hasn't. Bottomline.
Dec 30th 2013
251
Dion's FG and 3 pt. % are better than Kyrie's this year
Dec 30th 2013
252
that will be reversed in two weeks, dude. and we all know it.
Dec 30th 2013

Dec 30th 2013
265
           Who all put up their best numbers WITH John Wall?
Dec 30th 2013
266
                like Dion, Tristan, Andy, CJ Miles had their best years with Kyrie?
Dec 30th 2013

           Oh, it's his third year...i can wait. So.....
Dec 30th 2013
261
                What happened with this year? And wasn't it year 3 he'll take the league...
Dec 30th 2013
263
                     if he makes it this year...fine. if he don't...fine.
Dec 30th 2013
264
                          If? Nigga he ain't making it. Lmao.
Dec 30th 2013
267
                               yeah, it's all they fault.
Dec 30th 2013

                                    Kyrie is the basketball equivalent to a Dinco D verse on a posse cut
Dec 30th 2013
271
                                         Wall the basketball equilvalent of the Apple Pippin
Dec 30th 2013
275
                                              I have no idea what that is but if it doesn't equate to Superstar NBA PG...
Dec 30th 2013

                                                   oh, so HIS no jacket ass a superstar? you back on that again, huh?
Dec 30th 2013
277
weird how much of the offense is facilitated by Waiters
Dec 30th 2013
273
kyrie is the best shooter and scorer on the team...by too wide a margin
Dec 30th 2013
274
      Kyrie is fantastic. too good for u to need to knock Curry to defend him

thought we'd get killed yesterday. i don't believe in moral victories for a vet team, but I was pleased that we actually competed for a change.

See I can be honest about the knicks and when they suck. Can you be honest about us having better seasons with melo then we ever had with zeke since YOU the one that brought up zeke?

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Now would that mean anything in the long run or development of these young teams? Who knows.

But yeah, if I was you, I'd be mad at the front office fucking up your guys future since they've had many opportunities.

Taking Tristan and not picking Jonas. That looks like a fuck up. But who knows with foreign guys.

Taking Dion, thinking he'd mesh with Kyrie. That's a fuck up.

I still like Bennett, but the player development has to be on point. From watching him yesterday, his body language didn't look good. And it'd be sad, if the situation gets too big for him this early and ruins his career, because contrary to some dudes that see a pile on and love to do a Great Muta Moonsault on top, Bennett is a tremendous talent. Him and T.T. might be a bit redundant.

when they drafted him.

The Cavs are at least 'trying' but they seem to always fuck things up somehow (along with a bit of bad luck).

Tristan was prolly the right pick in 2011 after they got Kyrie. Only Klay was prolly deserving of consideration at #4 but that was still kinda high for him at the time. Maybe they trade down with the Warriors and net a young big or something and get Klay but outside of that...eh. Faried, Nikola Vucevic were unknowns.

Only Jonas woulda been a better pick and it took a season for him to get to the US. Then instead of taking Singler or Parsons in the second round, they took Justin Harper...another PF. Dumb. They needed shooters to develop to open the floor for Kyrie and had a guy with double-double potential at #4 already.

in 2012, everybody but the Cavs knew the picks for them were either, Barnes or Drummond. A SF that could shoot and play D and not have to worry about being the #1 guy (nor prolly doesn't desire that designation) but could grow and help that team win or a Big C to develop as insurance because Andy is fragile (if you're gonna take a chance on Bynum, may as well done so with Drummond).

And this yr Ben McLemore shoulda been the pick, even with #1. Trade Waiters for a SF. Maybe to ATL in a sign and trade for Josh Smith or Den for Iggy. Shoulda took Plumlee and kept Allen Crabbe too.

Kyrie
B-Mac
Josh or Iggy
Tristan
Drummond

^^^How I woulda did it.

He not gonna win a title in Clev (unless Bron come back).

"A suggestion that Ba is right and none of it is Kyrie's fault"


  

          

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10042361/cleveland-cavaliers-hurting-chances-lebron-james-return

In early December 2010, LeBron James returned to Cleveland for the first time since signing with the Miami Heat as a free agent the previous summer. James' new team handed his old one a 118-90 shellacking, part of the early stages of a stretch that saw the Cavaliers lose 36 of their next 37 games. Consider that return the Ghost of LeBron Past.

Tonight's meeting, the first between Cleveland and Miami this season, was supposed to be the Ghost of LeBron Future -- a chance for the Cavaliers to demonstrate to James how far they'd come since then, and potentially even the start of a pitch to bring James back to Cleveland as a free agent next summer. Instead, with the Cavaliers mired in a disappointing 4-10 start to the season that has featured more players-only meetings (1) than wins by double figures (0), it serves as a painful reminder that their rebuilding plan has gone off track. The culprit? The front office's failure to turn a bevy of high draft picks into production on the court.

Over the last three drafts, Cleveland has made a league-high six first-round picks -- two per year, including four selections in the lottery. Twice, the Cavaliers have picked fourth, and in both 2011 and 2013 they landed the No. 1 overall pick. Yet only one of these picks, point guard Kyrie Irving, ranks among Cleveland's top five players in terms of wins above replacement (WARP) this season. While Irving is off to a slow start this season, he reached the All-Star Game before his 21st birthday and is ahead of schedule in terms of his development, even for a top pick. But the Cavaliers' other first-rounders have yet to produce the kind of supporting cast that could take Cleveland back to the postseason and convince James, or another top free agent, that the Cavaliers are a superstar away from championship contention.

Based on nearly a decade's worth of drafts, we can establish a baseline for expected performance from various picks in each season of their career. For example, a typical No. 1 pick would produce 7.3 WARP during his third year, or 1.2 over the 14 games Cleveland has played thus far. Irving, with 1.4, has actually outperformed this mark. The Cavaliers' other first-round picks have not:

Player Pick Expected WARP Actual WARP
Kyrie Irving 1 1.2 1.4
Tristan Thompson 4 0.8 0.1
Dion Waiters 4 0.5 0.0
Tyler Zeller 17 0.2 -0.1
Anthony Bennett 1 0.5 -0.4
Sergey Karasev 19 0.1 -0.1
Total 3.4 0.9
Besides Irving 2.2 -0.5
We'd expect the five other first-round picks besides Irving to have produced about 2.2 WARP so far this season. Instead, four of the five have rated near replacement level with Anthony Bennett's sub-replacement production thus far during his rookie season dragging the group down. The deficit of nearly three wins essentially explains the difference between Cleveland's actual start and a .500 record. That such a large group of players is struggling suggests a systematic issue. Let's take a closer look at the other three lottery picks.

Tristan Thompson (No. 4, 2011)


Thompson
The Cavaliers may have reached for Thompson with the second of their two top-four picks in 2011. Insider's Chad Ford rated him seventh on his big board, behind three players who were still available -- Jonas Valanciunas, Brandon Knight and Kawhi Leonard.

Thompson has proven a serviceable power forward, and played well during the second half of last season, when his 4.1 WARP put him ahead of the expectation for a second-year No. 4 pick (3.2). While converting from shooting with his left hand to his right hand has helped Thompson at the free throw line, where he's shooting 75.4 percent, he's having a tough time finishing around the rim and is making just 43.2 percent of his 2-point attempts. At best, Thompson has yet to demonstrate the upside that would justify drafting him ahead of Valanciunas.

Dion Waiters (No. 4, 2012)


Waiters
Another year, another surprise from Cleveland on draft night. Waiters too was rated seventh on Ford's Big Board, behind Damian Lillard, Andre Drummond and Thomas Robinson. Though a point guard would have made little sense for a team that already had Irving, and the Cavaliers don't look likely to regret passing on Robinson, they again opted against drafting a high-upside center. Already a starter in his second season, Drummond has star potential.

By contrast, Waiters' sophomore campaign has been troubling. On the court, he's shown little growth in his shot selection or consistency. Waiters too has been unable to finish around the basket, which won't likely continue. But he won't be an efficient scorer until he turns more of his long 2-point attempts (which represent 38.3 percent of his shots, per NBA.com/Stats) into 3-pointers (24.2 percent of his shots). As an undersized volume scorer, he's probably best suited in a reserve role, not starting next to Irving.

Anthony Bennett (No. 1, 2013)


Bennett
Then there's Bennett, whose terrible shooting start (he missed his first 16 shot attempts) drew boos from Cleveland fans last week and has produced a 2.3 PER to date. Continuing the theme, the Cavaliers went for Ford's fourth-rated player with the No. 1 pick. In part, they were handcuffed by this year's draft class. Aside from No. 11 pick Michael Carter-Williams, another point guard, none of this year's rookies has separated from the pack. In fact, No. 12 overall selection Steven Adams is the only other lottery pick who currently rates better than replacement level.

In time, Bennett will surely play better. He was an accurate shooter during his lone season at UNLV, suggesting the shooting slump is more a product of rust after shoulder surgery and shot selection (27 of his 42 shot attempts have come outside the paint, including 2-of-15 3-point shooting) than lack of skill. Bennett needs to work to improve his conditioning and learn how he can get his shots at the NBA level, but it's far too early to write him off.

Of course, Bennett also plays the same position as Thompson -- the first month of his career has put to rest any notions he could play on the wing -- and wasn't seen as the top pick of the draft outside the Cleveland draft room. So his upside is probably more as a complementary piece than a second star.

Starting with Bennett, all three top picks are bound to play better the rest of the season. Unless things change drastically, however, it may be too late even in the dismal Eastern Conference to produce the kind of exciting playoff run the Cavaliers would have needed to have a chance to parlay their 2014 cap space into one of the top players available. Since the current crop of talent seems unlikely to yield a second star to go with Irving, signing one in free agency was the best hope Cleveland had of jumping into contention. As a result, the Cavaliers' draft reaches could haunt them for years to come.

In response to Reply # 0


          

Thompson was a reach but, honestly, he wasn't a bad pick.

"At best, Thompson has yet to demonstrate the upside that would justify drafting him ahead of Valanciunas."

I haven't seen a ton of Jonas but I really don't see how he is somehow better than Tristan or someone you need to justify passing on. That comment is also odd given that the other guy they passed on was Kawhi, who is the best of the bunch. (And they weren't going to draft Brandon Knight with Kyrie in tow.)

when Cam was being a bitch and missing open guys and sulking, I called him on it. He needed to be better.

I question Coach K EVERY YEAR and blame him when Duke flops in March.

I am not gonna blame Kyrie because Bynum can't play 25 minutes, Andy's legs are dead and THEY MISSED ON THREE STRAIGHT TOP FOUR PICKS!!!!!

Nah, I refuse to approach this in a black and white fashion. Kyrie is the LEAST of their problems and if Cavs fans wanna keep being stupid and folding their arms like "Well, he the star, he supposed to win us games" shit, he HAS WON YALL GAMES!!! And they watchin!?!?!? who the fuck else is gonna help him win MORE games?

And yet you thought a Carmelo Anthony-led Knicks
team with JR Smith as the second scoring option should beat
an Indiana Pacer team which is looking like a juggernaut
now, with far and away the best starting 5 in basketball

You're not consistent, and therefore people are going

He's a shitty, sometimey shooter scorer who will never
have a meaningful role on a relevant team.

That is Carmelo's #2 option.

j.r.'s only negative is he's got a little gunner and a little sjax in him. but he mirrors the character of the teams he's on.

he could easily fill in your boy lance's spot.

the leader on the knicks is a stats stuff whose career will be defined by one huge gamble in choice of team that ended up being a poor decision. j.r. is just falling in with the example of his team leadership.

Got it, so we're blaming Carmelo for all of JR Smith's
woes. Cool.

i can halfass blame melo for j.r.....cause thats actually realistic.

j.r. smith's contract and skillset actually would benefit a team like the spurs, heat, thunder, or pacers.

melo's contract and skill set says he actually has to be a cornerstone building a team that good, but he fucked that up.

>i can halfass blame melo for j.r.....

JR is what he is. He's not a very good basketball player.
I don't hate him for that. He gave the Knicks his very
best last year, and it was good at times. But he's not a
meaningful basketball player on a good team.


>j.r. smith's contract and skillset actually would benefit a
>team like the spurs, heat, thunder, or pacers.

And JR Smith's contract proves my point: he cost himself
tens of millions of dollars with his playoff performance
and had NO SUITORS outside of the Knicks. Zero. Nobody
wanted him.

>melo's contract and skill set says he actually has to be a
>cornerstone building a team that good, but he fucked that up.

He led a team to a #2 seed, losing to a very good Pacer team
in the plaoyffs. That is a "good team." He did it without the
actual franchise player (going by salary, Amare Stoudemire is)
and an injured Tyson Chandler. He did his part.

No player, Lebron included, gets the Knicks past Indiana
in the playoffs last year.

And I'm not gonna let you forget that you said JR Smith is
as good as Lance Stephenson. ZERO coaches, GMs would take
JR over Born Ready. None.

1. Carmelo 30 and 11 years deep and has lost series his teams shouldn't have lost. that's why I made the thread last May, because I knew they'd lose. You still so aggy about that shit that you puttin words in my mouth about THIS YEAR when I have not even been saying shit about the Knicks struggles. I flat out don't care about them. I ain't been saying shit, because OBVIOUSLY, I got other shit on my mind with the NBA. Melo at the forefront of YOUR thoughts, not mine, so don't bring all your Melo-centric insights and unsolicited, unnecessary Melo-agenda correlating bullshit in my threads. Take that shit elsewhere.

2. No one threw shit on Lance. I said I don't want him next to Kyrie. I've always wanted a knockdown shooter there and he not that. That's all I said. And I'm admitting now that if take him over Dion...not over Klay, who I fuckin screamed for 3 years ago, but OVER DION. Now, if you so pressed that you can't take a no holds barred "nigga, you was right... I was wrong" on this shit...oh well ... Bye, nigga.

You pointed to ONE series against the Jazz; you thought
Denver should have beaten them, EVEN THOUGH THE JAZZ
WAS THE HIGHER SEED, which pretty much shits all over your
"play to seed" criteria.

Either niggas are supposed to "play to seed" or they are not.

Nobody who studies basketball thought the Knicks were better
than the Pacers when the playoffs arrived. Zero. You STILL
used a SUPERIOR TEAM beating an INFERIOR TEAM as fodder for
your DC niggerisms against Baltimore Carmelo.

Nah, nigga.

Let's look at the facts-

Kyrie's sidekick is Dion Waiters.

Dion Waiters is a better basketball player, by about
4 miles, than JR Smith, who is Carmelo's main sidekick.

Not debatable.

YOU STILL SHAT ALL OVER CARMELO ANTHONY.

But we supposed to be understanding of Kyrie?!?!? All of
a sudden environment matters?

Nigga....no.

Be consistent.

Kyrie's #2 is better than Carmelo's. You blamed CARMELO for
the Knicks woes. NO DISCUSSION, remember?

I wanna hear you discuss KYRIE, and ONLY KYRIE. THAT's IT!

>2. No one threw shit on Lance. I said I don't want him next to

Knockdown shooter? Like Otto Porter?

Just stop.

But when Kyrie don't make it, you talking about a goddamn

Nigga, stop it

Weird, because you just told me Otto was a "glue guy"

Lance could stand around hit fucking threes in the corner
all by himself, good gried

He doesn't, because he's busy running the fucking offense
so that his STAR TEAMMATE can operate how he wants to
operate AND BR defends the opposing team's best wing AND
often makes the sure the 2nd team bums don't ruin the game
AND....AND....AND

But all you doing is making it harder for yourself moving forward. You don't want me to CARE about the fuckin Knicks and Melo. You really don't.

Nah, you're not being consistent-

Kyrie hasn't made the playoffs, ever.

Carmelo hasn't missed the playoffs, ever.

In the former case, you blame his teammates, coach,
city, weather, political landscape, menstrual cycles,
star alignments, etc.

In the later case you blame Carmelo Anthony for being shitty
and fat.

Discuss openly and honestly, thine double standard.


>I understand you prolly sittin there eatin some thick bitch

I'm sitting 8 feet from a winning stallion. She reading meaningful

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10042361/cleveland-cavaliers-hurting-chances-lebron-james-return

In early December 2010, LeBron James returned to Cleveland for the first time since signing with the Miami Heat as a free agent the previous summer. James' new team handed his old one a 118-90 shellacking, part of the early stages of a stretch that saw the Cavaliers lose 36 of their next 37 games. Consider that return the Ghost of LeBron Past.

Tonight's meeting, the first between Cleveland and Miami this season, was supposed to be the Ghost of LeBron Future -- a chance for the Cavaliers to demonstrate to James how far they'd come since then, and potentially even the start of a pitch to bring James back to Cleveland as a free agent next summer. Instead, with the Cavaliers mired in a disappointing 4-10 start to the season that has featured more players-only meetings (1) than wins by double figures (0), it serves as a painful reminder that their rebuilding plan has gone off track. The culprit? The front office's failure to turn a bevy of high draft picks into production on the court.

Over the last three drafts, Cleveland has made a league-high six first-round picks -- two per year, including four selections in the lottery. Twice, the Cavaliers have picked fourth, and in both 2011 and 2013 they landed the No. 1 overall pick. Yet only one of these picks, point guard Kyrie Irving, ranks among Cleveland's top five players in terms of wins above replacement (WARP) this season. While Irving is off to a slow start this season, he reached the All-Star Game before his 21st birthday and is ahead of schedule in terms of his development, even for a top pick. But the Cavaliers' other first-rounders have yet to produce the kind of supporting cast that could take Cleveland back to the postseason and convince James, or another top free agent, that the Cavaliers are a superstar away from championship contention.

Based on nearly a decade's worth of drafts, we can establish a baseline for expected performance from various picks in each season of their career. For example, a typical No. 1 pick would produce 7.3 WARP during his third year, or 1.2 over the 14 games Cleveland has played thus far. Irving, with 1.4, has actually outperformed this mark. The Cavaliers' other first-round picks have not:

Player Pick Expected WARP Actual WARP
Kyrie Irving 1 1.2 1.4
Tristan Thompson 4 0.8 0.1
Dion Waiters 4 0.5 0.0
Tyler Zeller 17 0.2 -0.1
Anthony Bennett 1 0.5 -0.4
Sergey Karasev 19 0.1 -0.1
Total 3.4 0.9
Besides Irving 2.2 -0.5
We'd expect the five other first-round picks besides Irving to have produced about 2.2 WARP so far this season. Instead, four of the five have rated near replacement level with Anthony Bennett's sub-replacement production thus far during his rookie season dragging the group down. The deficit of nearly three wins essentially explains the difference between Cleveland's actual start and a .500 record. That such a large group of players is struggling suggests a systematic issue. Let's take a closer look at the other three lottery picks.

Tristan Thompson (No. 4, 2011)


Thompson
The Cavaliers may have reached for Thompson with the second of their two top-four picks in 2011. Insider's Chad Ford rated him seventh on his big board, behind three players who were still available -- Jonas Valanciunas, Brandon Knight and Kawhi Leonard.

Thompson has proven a serviceable power forward, and played well during the second half of last season, when his 4.1 WARP put him ahead of the expectation for a second-year No. 4 pick (3.2). While converting from shooting with his left hand to his right hand has helped Thompson at the free throw line, where he's shooting 75.4 percent, he's having a tough time finishing around the rim and is making just 43.2 percent of his 2-point attempts. At best, Thompson has yet to demonstrate the upside that would justify drafting him ahead of Valanciunas.

Dion Waiters (No. 4, 2012)


Waiters
Another year, another surprise from Cleveland on draft night. Waiters too was rated seventh on Ford's Big Board, behind Damian Lillard, Andre Drummond and Thomas Robinson. Though a point guard would have made little sense for a team that already had Irving, and the Cavaliers don't look likely to regret passing on Robinson, they again opted against drafting a high-upside center. Already a starter in his second season, Drummond has star potential.

By contrast, Waiters' sophomore campaign has been troubling. On the court, he's shown little growth in his shot selection or consistency. Waiters too has been unable to finish around the basket, which won't likely continue. But he won't be an efficient scorer until he turns more of his long 2-point attempts (which represent 38.3 percent of his shots, per NBA.com/Stats) into 3-pointers (24.2 percent of his shots). As an undersized volume scorer, he's probably best suited in a reserve role, not starting next to Irving.

Anthony Bennett (No. 1, 2013)


Bennett
Then there's Bennett, whose terrible shooting start (he missed his first 16 shot attempts) drew boos from Cleveland fans last week and has produced a 2.3 PER to date. Continuing the theme, the Cavaliers went for Ford's fourth-rated player with the No. 1 pick. In part, they were handcuffed by this year's draft class. Aside from No. 11 pick Michael Carter-Williams, another point guard, none of this year's rookies has separated from the pack. In fact, No. 12 overall selection Steven Adams is the only other lottery pick who currently rates better than replacement level.

In time, Bennett will surely play better. He was an accurate shooter during his lone season at UNLV, suggesting the shooting slump is more a product of rust after shoulder surgery and shot selection (27 of his 42 shot attempts have come outside the paint, including 2-of-15 3-point shooting) than lack of skill. Bennett needs to work to improve his conditioning and learn how he can get his shots at the NBA level, but it's far too early to write him off.

Of course, Bennett also plays the same position as Thompson -- the first month of his career has put to rest any notions he could play on the wing -- and wasn't seen as the top pick of the draft outside the Cleveland draft room. So his upside is probably more as a complementary piece than a second star.

Starting with Bennett, all three top picks are bound to play better the rest of the season. Unless things change drastically, however, it may be too late even in the dismal Eastern Conference to produce the kind of exciting playoff run the Cavaliers would have needed to have a chance to parlay their 2014 cap space into one of the top players available. Since the current crop of talent seems unlikely to yield a second star to go with Irving, signing one in free agency was the best hope Cleveland had of jumping into contention. As a result, the Cavaliers' draft reaches could haunt them for years to come.

Cavs shopping Dion Waiters


Updated: November 27, 2013, 5:21 PM ET
By Chris Broussard | ESPN The Magazine

The Cleveland Cavaliers are actively shopping second-year shooting guard Dion Waiters, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Three teams the Cavaliers are known to have spoken with are the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers, the sources said. The Cavs' targets are Iman Shumpert in New York, Evan Turner in Philadelphia and Luol Deng in Chicago, sources said.

It is believed Cleveland has reached out to other clubs as well.

Waiters, whom the Cavaliers drafted with the No. 4 pick in 2012, has a contentious relationship with several teammates, including star point guard Kyrie Irving, and sources say he is open to being traded. In fact, although Waiters has not demanded a trade, he brought up the subject in a three-hour meeting last week with coach Mike Brown and general manager Chris Grant, according to sources.

The Cavaliers are looking to shake things up after a 4-10 start. Part of their problem has been the dysfunction in their locker room. Waiters, a 6-foot-4 guard, got into an altercation with forward Tristan Thompson during a players-only meeting after a 29-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Nov. 13, sources said.

Sources described the following account:

Irving called the meeting after the game, and every player spoke. When Waiters was given the floor, he criticized Thompson and Irving, accusing them of playing "buddy ball'' and often refusing to pass to him. Thompson took umbrage with Waiters' words and went back at him verbally. The two confronted each other, but teammates intervened before it could escalate into a fight.

However, Waiters and Irving are not close. Waiters believes the Cavaliers have a double standard when it comes to Irving, sources said. Waiters feels that while Irving is allowed to get away with loafing defensively, making turnovers and taking bad shots, he is taken out of games for such things. Waiters has shared his views with Brown and Grant.

Waiters is slumping after a promising rookie season -- both his scoring and shooting percentage are down.

If you watch Cavs games on the regular, you can actually see this muhfucka ignoring Kyrie when he wide open waving for the ball. Ky gets NO kickouts. That's part of why his shooting is down...that and brown's stupid ass high post bullshit.

As much as I wanna say Kyrie's low assist totals led some weight to his argument, His FG% is not helping him out much lol.

Kyrie defense is atrocious.

I believe he is playing buddy ball and he needs to improve on D.

Let waiters go to Philly with MCW...the story will change on him when he has a distributor at the 1.


Maybe the Cavs need a Turner to be able point foward and help them win some games.



If we gave them Luol for Waiters and Sideshow, or Waiters and a 2014 pick we would come up huge.


Isiaih Thomas should be mentioned more on this board BTW. I am holding all of his stock and watching it rise... Bitcoin is getting his money off the bench even...

87. "don't like waiters but honestly i can see where he is coming from"
In response to Reply # 50


  

          

the cavs are cow toeing to a star that hasn't really done shit
is waiters supposed to fall in line, avg 12-14 points or whatever while kyrie has top 5 USG% and the team goes to the lottery every year
that and waiters will get NO credit for anything, even when he outplays kyrie. cause the narrative is already set
fuck it i'd want to bounce too
right now the hierarchy and plan in cleveland is set and from where i'm sitting the shit ain't working and i don't know if it will ever work
under those circumstances i can't hate on a player thinking he's better than he may be and wanting to get into another situation where he can show some growth or at least have the fucking chance to be something more than an agenda scapegoat
and for what it's worth waiters does show flashes when kyrie is injured or out the game and he gets to dominate the ball
it's just a badly built team and i can't really hate on a dude seeing where he stands from the grand scheme of things and wanting to get the fuck out

In all seriousness, Dion needs the right situation. He's talented, but he needs the right coach/team to get the most out of him.

Another case of Boeheim getting the most out of a player who can be difficult.

i called this shit last yr and laugh at the kyrie excuse game, everybody and there grandma know dion is right kyrie is a shooting guard he ain't no pg and he was hella tight last yr when he got hurt the cavs were better on offense and waiters looked like young d wade. Kyrie was jealous of that shit. Dion and Kyrie play the same position which of course breeds competition, niggas need to get a real pg cuz kyrie ain't a pg in even the derrick rose russy style the muthafuck struggles to get assist because he is too busy learning what new harlem globetrotter shit rather than working on how to actually throw and entry to pass to bynum how many turnovers did he have in the third quarter on basically trying to throw an entry pass it was disgusting.

Kyrie in his dreams can never make a pass like this between two defender, wall is out here looking 2002 chad pennington
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNk7w4Kraz4

Kyrie doesn't even play d i mean when has he punched a nigga shit so viciously mind you the block is on iman shumpert and everybody punches that non finishing nigga shit but i mean wall is moving the movement
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md3Gw2yiV38


don't think waiters aint seeing how everybody who plays with wall gets paid

andre blatche wall got him bread
tall light skin seven ft nigga wall got him bread
webster wall got him bread
beal wall got him looking like a more human looking reggie miller

in closing tell your pg to work on being a pg and stop the harlem globetrotter shit work on entry passes work on not trying to dribble out the corner you know shit all pg's know.can you blame waiters for wanting to slap kyrie his voice is so soft you just wanna make him your bitch and probably think all that harlem globetrotter shit he does with the ball he probably can do with his tongue.

What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, small dick niggas to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show all the ladies what a real man is supposed to look like (C) Ravishing Rick Rude

Carmelo doesn't disappoint anyone by not making the

He's got lucky with that scoring title, remember?

Kyrie, on the other hand--he's an elite player, and elite

The consensus is that Kyrie is a better player

So why isn't Kyrie's team good?

Oh, Waiters that right.

But why isn't Carmelo's team good?

Oh, its all Carmelo. That's right. Duh.

100. "Nah, a Knicks tank is a win-win for Carmelo"
In response to Reply # 98


  

          


Either Carmelo gets traded to a team where the
two guys making more money than him actually play
for the team

Knicks get someone good in return, or a pick

Or the Knicks tank and get a good player in the draft

Either way, Knicks fans win, and Carmelo ends up in a
better situation

And Iverson still got cut from his Turkish team

In response to Reply # 100


  

          

The Knicks winning 45-50 and not being a real threat, but being dumb enough to think they are leading to resigning Melo for the max and continuing to put nothing around him....nah.

Melo needs to get the hell out of there and go somewhere where's he's got some players around him, or to a team with the ability to put players around him.

NY needs to shut it down and retool. Melo got them back to the playoffs and gave them their best season in 15 years, but they aren't going beyond that. Amare's contract and lack of production will see to that.

I'm not even a Knicks fan, so I'd have no reason to cop pleas for them. I just root for all Cuse players.

And I don't need to cop pleas for Melo, he's doing his job. 27 and 10.

I want to see him on a better team.

a) He carried a horrible team to a 2 seed and division
title last year, WITHOUT THE REAL FRANCHISE PLAYER, which is
MORE than he was asked to do

b) This year he's not carrying the bums, and is building
a case to be traded to a good team

His resume is solid--he carried a team to above their
talent, won a scoring title in the best swingman scorer
era in decades

He can now go to an actual good TEAM

In response to Reply # 115


  

          


He didn't get what he signed up for

Shit breaths are in here saying that "he should have
known that Amare would break down," which is silly
because Chris Paul was trying to play with him too

Nobody *knew* that Amare would be a shadow of himself
by year 2

It was a perfectly reasonable move by Carmelo, that
happened not to work, and it wasn't his fault

That being the case, making himself marketable for a
trade would be a good idea

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

haven't seen Kyrie freezing Waiters out as he claims

BUT (and there's a big one)

Kyrie DOES try and do too much which is why I think his shooting and 3-pt pct. are abysmal (%406, %312.) and maybe to Waiters its perceived as Kyrie not trying to give him the rock

What I'm noticing abt Kyrie is that as a point guard, a scoring point guard at that, he doesn't know how to put his teammates in a position to make the game easier for them, when the team gets behind he's tries and shoulder too much of the offensive load and oftentimes he ends up creating a turnover or taking an ill-advised shot...

He's supremely talented but he never learned to play *winning basketball* because of his brief time at Duke.

who is he supposed to be putting in position to score? has it occured to ANYONE that these niggas just ain't scorers?

andy never dropped double figures in his life until kyrie rookie year. now i know lebron can set folks up, but he couldn't set that bamma up to the tune of double figs.

only way dion gettin 20ppg is with 20FGa per game. period.

standing around waiting for him to make something happen

As a point guard, he probably has to do more directing on the court and telling those players where they should be on the floor. Lets not forget that several of the Cavs core group of players are young and haven't been on winning teams.

I would imagine if Chris Paul or a Rajon Rondo was the Cavs point guard the Cavs offense wouldn't be as stagnant because of their pass-first-shoot second approach to the game which would make the game a lot easier for those guys to be more involved offensively, Kyrie, on the other hand, never learned that aspect of the point guard position which is why he usually ends up trying to do it all himself when the team gets behind -- this is where I can see his game could've benefited from playing a full season at Duke. He needs another scorer to take some of the offensive load off of him (maybe a Danny Granger?)

they don't even think to reverse the ball, dogg. you know what, it has occured to me that he should STOP directing and let niggas just play. maybe they are inclined to cut to an open spot, but they running this garbage offense.

other than flat out bad vibes in the lockerroom, i can't tell you all that's wrong.

Not even 15 games in you had Dion as the worst thing to happen since Austin Rivers...


Dion snapped when Kyrie got hurt.

Dion snapped tonight when Kyrie sat his ass down.

Dion good.




You are in defense mode for your Kyrie agenda. That's what this boils down to.


I predicted only 5 wins for Kyrie by December...
I predicted you making a scapegoat...
Cavs suck and Kyrie is overrated and we all see it.
I predicted Philly would be better than them and MCW would blow that...but but he doesn't have a good team excuse out of the water.






Trade Kyrie while you can get the most for him. Ship Rie to Philly for MCW and Turner and let Iverson -2.0 Return to the Sixers and the Cavs get a real PG and them Syacuse boys can put in work.


Bet you Bynums number improve with MCW.


I bet if Cleveland called Philly for that trade, they would get straight dialtone...

In response to Reply # 141


  

          

record, JR is BETTER than Waiters

JR is capable of (at times) being the best player on the court and we saw him last season win several gms when Melo was out. So stop exaggerating Melo's lack of help because it's not just his teammates, its him, too. Amare pretty much eluded to the knicks' problems stemming from lack of ball of movement...and that falls on Melo just as much, if not more, as it does on JR/Bargnani/Felton etc.

In response to Reply # 135


  

          

we have the Bobcats pick coming
we have Mirotic coming
we about to lose some Duke deadweight via trade and amnesty in the next 2 seasons...


Even if we wanted to re-up and get Okafor 2015 we are a better situation than the Cavs.



We good.


Jimmy got game
Snell got game
Taj got game
Noah got game and Value


Even without Rose, we still better than the Cavs in life.


Of course the Cavs aren't your franchise...Kyrie is your franchise...but Kyrie isn't franchise.



Better yet, how about the Cavs trading Waiters to Detroit for Caldwell Pope and Singler...

Trade Rie to Detroit for Jennings and Monroe...put the fake baby Zeke (Isiah Thomas is the real Lil Zeke) in Detroit...where he can play buddy ball with Drummond.


Someone getting traded cause Cleveland sucks.



Bulls franchise last season without Rose playing a single game = 45 wins

Kyrie playing franchise level basketball for 2 damn seasons = 45 wins and he is on pace for another 20 win monster year.



FOH


We good.

You know the Bulls can find some talent (in THIS draft) in picks #11-20.

We're good.

2014 the pic is protected 1-10...true
2015 the pic is protected 1-8...true


With the 11th pick, the Philadelphia 76ers select...a real pointguard.
.their future...a game changer...someone who can win with a bad team around him...



I'll take the chances on a 11 pick next draft or 9 in 2015



I am also confident that as long as Cleveland had Steve Iverson at point, they will fuck up remaining drafts trying to fit pieces around a guard with no chemistry...which means real talent will slip from their grasp and fall towards us.




Hell we could tank this season and still be eligible for Jabari or Randle...



No way is the Bulls in a worse position than the Cavs.

Maybe he could do the same with Dion. But I imagine one of the tanking teams would probably want to take a flyer on him.

they'd get more in return and will eventually win more. But until then it could be pure hell for Dion, knowing they chose him over Kyrie.

But they'd probably win immediately depending on what they'd get back.

Cavs needed a guard with his skill that plays with dat intensity; makes his teammates better and all that stuff

Dion's like the reliable beater you drive to work. Kyrie is the clean ass smug you use to stunt on dumb hoes


in this case, you would be the dumb hoe

cool. that's why your the fucking cleveland cavaliers and that's why you'll be call kyrie all kinda traitorous shit when he's winning more laker titles, because that's HIS identity.

and dion not an all-star. he's puttin on aight numbers for TWO WEEKS on a really bad team. a REALLY bad team.

they shouldn't have drafted him. only reason why niggas like you cyse that fat fuck is because you don't wanna keep hearing about drummond.

In response to Reply # 171


  

          


Cavs didn't need Drummond doofy ass, the team needed a guard like Waiters who does what Kyrie does but without all the unnecessary street ball shit



if Kyrie's a frontrunner who needs to be in a big name city to play the game the right way, I can't wait to trade-rape whatever dumb ass team is ready to give away the farm for him like the Knicks and Nets. Nigga can go live his fucking Kobe Bryant fantasy somewhere else




who all is gonna be on this championship laker squad with Irving? Who will be his scapegoats when he scores zero points against the Atlanta hawks?

you just a fuckin duke-hater

only a duke-hatin bitch would cyse a fat ass 6-2 shooting guard who came into camp his rookie year 30lbs overweight and felt ENTITLED to have co-billing with the fucking nigga who just got ROY and was selected to the all-star game.

we 20 games in and dion FINALLY lookin halfway consistent after instigating a totally unecessary near fight with teammates and now he gets the greenlight to throw up his fuckballs in GARBAGE TIME and have niggas like you thinkin he balling. AND you thinking kyrie some shit now.

this is bizarre, and when he bounces and playing with his fellow all-star buddies in a cool ass city with fine bitches and nice restaurants, you scorned bitches bet not say a word. writing is on the wall...that kid is fuckin leaving. all you dumb bitches done turned on him, when he on TV repping y'all at all-star weekend, maybe sure y'all weak ass city is in recognized, going out his way for the shit and you niggas bailing 20 games into year 3.

bennett should be buying kyrie meals every fuckin day, because somehow the worst #1 pick in history (so far) is not THE story of that team.

Two things are definitely true, you know them, and
they have you upset:

1) There is no excuse for Kyrie's performance so far.
None. Nothing.

2) The difference in perception between Kyrie and Dion
is faaaaaaaaaaaar bigger than the difference in goodness.

but tristan still doing it.

NBA wings supposed to knock down corner threes...GEE can't.

elite NBA SGs are usually knockdown shooters and dion not.

he was averaging 7 dimes when that meeting happened. nobody was complaining about him PASSING then.

i know what the fuck happened. he had just finished dropping 39 and 41 and taking over and lookin like THAT NIGGA and dion acted like the jealous bitch he is.

can't nobody tell me different. the nigga needs to get the fuck or they need to trade kyrie. either way i'm tired of this. dion think he a fuckin star and ain't shown SHIT close to being one.

he see klay, derozan and beal and he know niggas comparing him to them and he blaming his FATCOMINGS on kyrie.

but, he fuckin didn't....and all that jealously built up last year and the nigga done orchestrated a mutiny...and for what? to get a nice second contract. he done admitted he met with his agent because he was worried about touches.

kyrie called a meeting after that loss to NO, where kyrie played hero ball down the stretch. i admit it, kyrie was selfish. but, he's hit the shows PLENTY of times.

dion pitched a bitch after that game. it's been a train wreck since. you can see the body language. dion is emboldened to take his fucked up philly rock bullshit and kyrie has cut down his drives because bynum big ass there and he's reduced to taking contested jumpers.

you right. this shit IS simple. he leaving. GOOD!

and I may be happy on both ends.

Waiters hurt his knee a bit in summer league before his rookie year, and was MAYBE 10 pounds overweight before the season. Maybe. 30? C'mon, ridiculous.

I think you were giving Bennett a pass for being hurt and then overweight.

Dion came into this season in great shape, for what it's worth.

175. "Waiters can be harnessed"
In response to Reply # 169


  

          

I won't defend him at all costs, he's had some teammate/coach issue going back to high school. But he can play, and he can be channeled.

You're exaggerating on how "overweight" he was, IMO.

It takes more than 1 to cause the kind of locker room strife Cleveland reportedly has. I have no doubt Waiters has a part in it, and I have no doubt that it's nowhere close to all being on him.

He was in great shape and was a good teammate all year. Accepted coming off the bench with no issues, despite being the best player on the team.

Cavs would trade Kyrie before he has any chance to just "leave" like he's anywhere near unrestricted free agency... HA


right now, Irving should be playing to prove he's a max contract player. He'll probably get that max regardless that he's playing like ass right now but you best believe that Cleveland would turn on Irving before he has a chance to burn us like we been burned in the past



as of right now, if we could get a haul for Irving; I'd be seriously tempted to do it


I'd trade the fuck outta ya boy for the rights to draft Jabari Parker

you gonna turn on him BEFORE he gets a chance, huh? is that what's going on? because he wouldn't commit to staying when hit with all those questions in camp?

dogg, you and other cavs fans are talking yourselves into a hole. this ain't like Wall in D.C. where he ain't show much his first two years. Kyrie hit the ground running and now he in a shooting slump a month into year 3 and y'all talking crazy shit.

shit can't be unsaid. all i'm saying.

I liked how Irving was looking to set up his teammates more in pre-season and at the begging of the season but he was giving too much praise and leeway too early, the Mr. 4th quarter heroics and shit has encouraged him to be a selfish player


He should be a set up man first and a clutch scorer second

I know that Wall kid has become your punching bag...But is this ^^^ really true?

The kid had a very good rookie season (over 16 pts and over 8 dimes a game, bad shooting percentage and all...)....I mean, you don't get named to the NBA All-Rookie 1st Team and don't "show much"...

What happened to Wall is he got hurt with a serious knee injury...Shit happens...

But the kid is a good young player....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

I think he was disappointing AFTER his rookie season...

But all I remember reading during that rookie season was how much of an exceptional pure PG he was to be so young...People were praising him for his passing skills....He got invited to play at the rookie challenge and was one of the leaders in assists in the Eastern Conference....

The only reason I followed the kid was because I thought he would be an actual threat to Rose in the East...

Again, you want to talk about the season after that injury and how lackluster Wall was, I agree wholeheartedly....

But that kid put up some damn good PG numbers in his rookie season...He came in second to Blake Griffith for Rookie of the Year...

U doing a little too much with this, homie....

Actually no...lol...You said the kid was a disappointment his first two or three seaons....

And I'm saying he was good his rookie season and got the numbers and pub to prove it...The numbers can't be disputed...Nor can the facts...(coming after Blake in ROY voting...)

However, I do agree with you on the fact that Wall regressed after his rookie season....He looked like a knucklehead...Because he was on a team of fools....But that's another story, right?

Indeed...People were throwing that D word around...But not after that rookie season....

The criticism of Wall started happening a year or so later when the kid was taking L's with that team full of knuckleheads....JeVale...Nick Young....Yeah...those guys...lol

There's a reason they cleaned house and got rid of nearly everybody except Wall...

Please, by all means...show me this plethora of articles claiming that this kid was a disappointment his rookie season....I would love to read/listen to these joints....

Again...I'M WITH YOU on the Wall criticism later on....But I just don't see how he could be a disappointment YEAR ONE when he would have easily won Rookie of the Year if it wasn't for Blake getting hurt his rookie season a year earlier....

My nigga...u doing too much...lol

I did Google....And you know what I found? Shit like this:

Washington Post, 2011...

"Wall joined Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, Mark Jackson, Allen Iverson, Tim Hardaway and Chris Paul as the only rookies in NBA history to have atleast 1100 points, 550 assists and 300 rebounds as rookies. He is the only player to reach those totals in less than 70 games.

He had a season that compared favorably with the past four point guards to win rookie of the year, but unfortunately, it didn’t come close to Griffin, who is the first rookie since Elton Brand in 1999 to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in his first season."

Listen...I know u and Billy got that college blood feud going...He trounces on Kyrie and you Moonwalk over Wall...Shit is entertaining (no snark...u guys are two of the best posters on this part of the site....)

But some things just can't be written down as gospel...Some things are a bit more layered...

It's one thing to say: Wall has been a disappointment following his rookie season...He has failed to live up to his first season....

But it's quite another to say: Wall has ALWAYS been a disappointment....

That's all I'm saying...No beef...No agendas (I got no horse in this race...)...Nothing...

Just saying....But party on, my dude...And good luck with Kyrie....He will be out sooner or later...





GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Because if my agendas...

Klay can't just be one of the best SGs in the L... He can't just be that

And Dion is BETTER than Kyrie

And it's not even worth me partying when both are proven my way.

cavs fans were sold a bill of goods on what kyrie was going do
and the shit ain't happening and don't look like it's happening anytime soon
the dion stuff is probably some OOO shit but cavs fans have every right to be displeased with kyrie this year

see, i'm tryina REAL HARD to let this shit be the distant memory it's gonna be by all-star break when kyrie is puttin up consistent numbers and the cavs are headed to the playoffs. i'm tryna be civil, because i don't like doing that game-by-game shit. but, the way you niggas been actin lately, i'm bout to party every time someone y'all like shits the bed and someone i like balls out.

this shit is gettin pressed. say what you think and WAIT AND SEE. why is that so hard. that's why so many fuckin threads get upped because niggas say pressed shit after each game.

that's how kyle lowry be in PG WARZ for two weeks and be a regular ass PG a year later...niggas wit that game-by-game shit.

Secondly things will only get better when they make Waiters the PG and take KI off of the basketball. I get tired off seeing Kyrie do nothing but dribble like he is on the Globetrotters. Then for him to only dribble the ball off of his leg in crucial situations.

So you want your PG giving games away because he is O.C.?? It only proves that in key situations that he need to be off of the basketball so others can find him. I am tired off seeing him fuck up games!!!

Then you should see my point then!!! Dion is clearly a better ball handler and he has a higher IQ out there in making decisions than Kyrie does. Dion is clearly better as running the offense. He has more control going to the hole than Kyrie. KI is not a PG, just deal with that.

Don't know why Kyrie hasn't been playing like this all season, hopefully it's not just cause it's the Knicks

Cavs would be 3rd seed & Kyrie would be an MVP candidate if he played like this all season

Everybody had their lil laughs when Ky was struggling with his shot, but like I said, he gonna end up 45%, 40% and 85% BECAUSE HE CAN FUCKING SHOOT. nigga gonna put up the best shooting percentages for a PG YET AGAIN and average somewhere between 23-26ppg and 6-7apg for the season being doubled and tripled. muhfuckas think that's easy or some shit. imagine what he'd do with SHOOTERS giving him SPACE.

i dunno what the fuck dion does well. i really don't. he's streaky and dumb. i swear.

i don't even know if i want jabari to come to this shit. just get my niggas away from that stupid ass GM.

He's a second year player on a young ass team with a lingering wrist injury who had two bad games in a row, so so what?


You don't know what Dion does good? It's because your Kyrie/Duke agenda is all that matters to you, not the Cavs as a team

you just part of the faction of cavs fans that make excuses for dion for WHATEVER REASON and think he can be a fuckin all-star or some shit. he's not that calibur.

i wanna see kyrie start the all=star game and look happy for once this season and then he can sit out the rest of the season with a fake injury for the tank....just like he's done the past couple of years.

hopefully grant don't waste the pick again.

and given that kyrie yonger than everyone but bennett and karasev, fuck your youth-related excuses. kyrie got all the pressure on him and niggas like you take the good for granted and bitch and moan when he misses.

re-read this thread, dogg. look at how you were acting when kyrie was "slumping" (his slump is a GREAT month for dion...that's how sick this shit is). you were partying and now you expecting me to go east on the Philly Rockin Undersized Scrub. HE TERRIBLE. I coulda upped it YESTERDAY.

FOH!!!

get a real fucking shooting guard!!!

You only care about Kyrie's individual accolades, I care about how/if he makes his teammates better. I even say so when he plays right and the team wins as a result.

Kyrie the all-star/overall pick/best player on the team, he's supposed to be more accountable. Why does this even have to be explained?

Dion been a scapegoat and gets no props when he plays well

It's bullshit

So, let's not get into what muhfuckas SUPPOSED to be doing and being ACCOUNTABLE and what does and doesn't need explaining. nah, you don't REALLY wanna talk about that stuff.

i supported tristan, dion and bennett...there's a dozens of threads of me doing that, because i wanted them to be WORTH THEIR SELECTIONS!!!! THEY ARE ALL COLOSSAL DISAPPOINTMENTS!!! it's a fucking travesty. how do you fuck this up!?!?!?!?

of course i want the TEAM to be good. i been posting about it for YEARS.

you need to take a step back and be real with yourself about why you complain so much about kyrie and make excuses for dion...one is so far ahead of the other, it's sad.

i think all you dion supporters believe his stupid ass line about how two STARS gotts learn to play together. you don't see any problem with that...because you think he's gonna be a star.

lemme tell you a secret...dion waiters is not a star talent.

273. "weird how much of the offense is facilitated by Waiters"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          


I know they're both essentially combo guards and you can interchange them on the floor, but Kyrie was CLEARLY the SG last night. Its like their game plan (esp down the stretch) was to have either Waiters or Irving go 1-on-1 hero ball mode.


Either Kyrie just isn't that great of a distributor, and a more natural 2 guard, or "he needs more help." - Basaglia. Not sure what that help should be though - does he need a big man he can feed in the post? A more traditional, spot up shooting 2 guard?

(that was my first Cavs game, and now I kinda see what you were saying Basa about if Kyrie had someone like Klay, it would definitely make a difference.)


Waiters looked pretty bad last night - but I wanna say most of that came from an off shooting night. The guy can create on his own just fine and has a decent shot selection. I think he'd be a capable 6th man leading a bench squad somewhere - not convinced he's a starter who can gel with another scoring guard.

Mon Dec-30-13 01:11 PM by Basaglia

  

          

you just wasted all those keystrokes detailing what i've been saying for YEARS.

i already know kyrie plays off ball half the time. know how i know? because i watch EVERY cavs game. that's how i know. you DON'T KNOW, dogg. YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS!!!

i wonder if you also took the time to notice that his bigs can't finish very well. bogut isn't even THAT athletic and i wanted to puke watching him catch the ball in stride, take off on one foot and dunk...one motion. EASY. cavs bigs are too mechanical to do it.

but, it's cool. when kyrie gets his weapons, if ANY of you bammas say some dumb stuff like "oh, he's gotten better at passing"..."oh, he's becoming a REAL point guard"...i'm not even kidding, i swear i hope an airplane engine lands on your face.

you wasn't calling steph a combo guard when he couldn't crack 6.0 dimes his first THREE years tho. yeah...THREE years. now, he got klay and stiff hips giving him SPACE to operate and keepin the D honest by hitting OPEN shots...you wanna talk and throw your lil shots with your low budget dollar store analysis. SHUT YO ASS UP! you don't know anything.

if steph still had monta being ball dominant and big ass bums like biedrins and gadzookie, you would not be running your damn mouth, dude. because you didn't do it then.

In response to Reply # 274


          

Or Wall, for that matter.

I mean, if Wall went to Duke you'd make excuses for him. And if Curry did you'd party. No need to bring in this double standard. All three are stellar (probably Wall the least of all three, but still too early for that argument to be over). The question of who is best won't be answered now or even soon, they all have time to develop and will have shots on good teams...

and of course i'd cyse wall if he'd gone to duke, genius. doesn't mean that he's made an all-star team in 4 season or ever cracked 45% FG or 35% from 3. just like RBO would be cysing all-star games and crossovers and 3 point patches...you cyse wehat you can cyse and criticize what you can criticize. it's called an AGENDA.

but, to be honest, i don't watch the cavs (shocking, i know).

does anyone know why he simply cannot play w/ irving. it doesn't make sense. because clearly, the two of them can't play together (though he is kinda gunning like crazy during this run. is it that dion waiters has to gun in order to play well/decently?).

Yep you are Dion is so much better than Nice Man but Poor Man version of JR Smith i mean does Tim have to shoot everytime he catches the ball and he is the worst defender in the league i mean he is worst than Novak straight any 2 guard be going one on one with him and dominating him shit is so bad.

Upping this thread if and when Dion gets a chip, especially at Kyrie's expense, would have been better for shock value.

Even moreso because of this thread and how much people want to get back at you on these boards.

It'll be interesting to see if Dion doesn't revert to his ball chucking mental midget ways assuming the Cavs and the Thunder do in fact meet up in the Finals, since it appears him and Kyrie did have some slight friction when the two were in Cleveland from what I've read on these boards.

in relatively critical moments. This post exists because he's made so many poor basketball decisions, and it was upped because it looks like he's starting to pull it together.

I think the uppage is premature though, I can't put any faith in the dude just yet.

maaaaan...if that isn't proof this is a W for basa, i don't know what is.

congrats, Dion! it took you 4 years in the NBA to have 2 games in a row in which you look like you might be a useful bench player who doesn't make poor decisions repeatedly!

So clearly you aren't really responding to me, you just need to vent or something.

playing quality basketball for a championship contender. It's bugged that you think it wouldn't be upworthy. Do you understand the premise of this post? It wasn't about him being drafted #4. It was about him being selfish, and making tons of bad basketball decisions.

Yeah...to deliver big shots and big plays during the big moments...That's all it takes...

As much as Waiters has been dragged on this board people can't start pulling out that BUT HE WAS A HIGH DRAFT PICK stuff...

I mean, I was never in this mess to begin with...But I did NOTICE how much Dion was getting savaged and for good reason...lol...

Like somebody said, dude is the ultimate underdog...His career was left for dead...Brother got shot and killed; He was a meme generating joke just a few weeks ago...

So yeah...any contribution in a win for OKC deserves uppage....Because if dude stinks up the joint tomorrow the same heads will never let anyone forget it...lol

Now, again, I don't know what the agenda terms are, so I'm gonna back out now...just wanted to add that. Dude is playing some great minutes for us. Carry on.

unless you're arguing his second half was >>>>>>>>> his first, what does 24 more minutes of play gonna tell me?

FOH with that. dude is an average backup SG, 6th best player on his team and people are claiming that's a W for him.

what key play or shot did he make last night? the goalposts have gotten so low for him, it's hard to see the difference between them and the floor.

That's all.

He's playing well in the playoffs, for what has been the most/2nd most impressive team in the playoffs to this point. It's really not debatable, and there's really nothing to argue about here.

Not rooting for players you dislike from rival schools....I get it. At the moment, it would probably be best to just be quiet though. Not much you can say that doesn't come off as being kind've mad.

He's playing well for a team that's playing well.

You cried your ass off about him not "playing his role" for the 30 games or so that he was on Lebron's Cavs.

Now he's "playing his role" on a team with 2 top 5 players that shoot and score all the time, and you want to say he's not scoring enough?

FOH. He's scoring when they need him to score, playing D, driving and kicking, playing smart, playing hard. He's doing his job.

because he left in disgrace and became a staple on shaqtin a fool. and you had to live through me BEING RIGHT ABOUT HIM.

good for him he's accepted being a ROLE PLAYER.

Just replying. The guy is playing well for a team that's playing well. That's all.

As for accepting being a role player.....he's on a team with two top 5 players.

Those '13 and '14 Cavs teams were garbage.

2015, he was only there for about 30 games. It takes time for guys to find their roles when there's a lot of change. Doesn't matter though....the guys Cleveland got in the trade are working out for them, and so is Dion in OKC.

dion is a ROLE PLAYER.

he just couldn't understand it. guess after hearing YET ANOTHER coach tell him the same thing, he finally gets it.

nothing wrong with being #2

337. "Well this is a clear W on the Kyrie side"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Right down to 25 & 5 at 47/45/85 for the offs this year. He's been CLEs best player by far.

The Dion thing is at worst a push. Not sure how being the 7th best player on any team qualifies as some sort of win for his shareholders.

Kyrie is hitting KCP and Lowry for 25+ while routinely shooting ~50%, but now a little bit of decent ball from a guy who is still within seeing distance of the "Bust" domain means something?

Dion supporters should congregate in a post titled "The Bus to Lake Winnepesaukee" instead of acting like he's already sailing.

LOL. No. 2nd best. By far, the 2nd best though. That's still good.

>shareholders.

7th huh? Seems pretty arbitrary. But you had Kyrie above Lebron, so you might just be throwing out a low number for effect?

>Kyrie is hitting KCP and Lowry for 25+ while routinely
>shooting ~50%, but now a little bit of decent ball from a guy
>who is still within seeing distance of the "Bust" domain means

Nobody ever questioned Kyrie's ability to shoot or score. He's always scored. He's got the best player in the world on his team taking care of all the facilitating, so he can just get buckets. It works.

>Dion supporters should congregate in a post titled "The Bus to
>Lake Winnepesaukee" instead of acting like he's already
>sailing.

Dion's playing well on a team that's playing well. That's all I care about.

It's a W for people who thought he'd be better than he was 18 months ago. But still a massive L when you evaluate him based on draft position and initial expectations.
