My dad just informed me that some guy on ESPN listed Dion as the number 1 guy to be traded by the trade deadline.

Edit: Most likely just another uniformed ESPN guy who thinks Dion and Kyrie hate each other but who knows.

Meniscus is the main thing to worry about here. Will be devastating if we end up keeping Jack because of this.
 
Griffin told Waiters he wasnt being traded. I dont see any reason Griffin would want to establish himself as that guy

just saw this over on hoops hype via the sporting news

There has been talk, going back to December, that the Cleveland Cavaliers were eager to move second-year guard Dion Waiters, who has struggled to get along with star point guard Kyrie Irving on the court and in the locker room. Teams continue to call the Cavs about Waiters, but as a source told Sporting News on Tuesday there is “nothing imminent there” on a Waiters trade. Sporting News

NBA trade deadline: 'Nothing imminent' on Dion Waiters deal

Published 2 hours and 26 minutes ago Last updated 2 hours and 24 minutes ago Sean Deveney Sporting News

There has been talk, going back to December, that the Cleveland Cavaliers were eager to move second-year guard Dion Waiters, who has struggled to get along with star point guard Kyrie Irving on the court and in the locker room. Teams continue to call the Cavs about Waiters, but as a source told Sporting News on Tuesday there is “nothing imminent there” on a Waiters trade.

In fact, one league executive said, “It seems like they are going to keep him.”

Despite a 20-33 record, Cleveland is considered a buyer at Thursday's deadline, because the team is eager to make a playoff push in the frightful Eastern Conference. Waiters has been offered for veteran help, the hope being that more experience in the locker room will help ease some of the Cavs' chemistry problems.

But the Cavaliers are asking a high price for Waiters. They don’t want to simply give him away, especially not with the team having headed into the All-Star break on a four-game winning streak. Over the break, Irving said that Cleveland players held a meeting following the firing of general manager Chris Grant and the chemistry has been better since.

That is in large part thanks to interim GM David Griffin, who took over for Grant and helped bridge whatever divide had developed between Waiters and Irving.

The bigger issue is the perception that trading Waiters would leave. Cleveland had the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft and used it on Anthony Bennett, who has struggled mightily as a rookie. Waiters, averaging 14.3 points on 41.7 percent shooting, was chosen with the No. 4 pick the previous year, and not getting a good return for him will cast an even more obvious pall on the Cavaliers’ drafting operation.

Even with Grant out, the team does not want that, and would be willing to give Waiters and Irving another chance to work together.
 
I can't help but feel that some of these trade rumors surrounding Dion are simply outdated. I think when the Cavs were lifeless and losing a ton,Dion was very much on the table, as was most of the team.

But there is a new GM and we are winning.

I just feel like these Dion trade rumors are a week or two behind right now.

His injury, if serious, keeps him here anyways, imo.

Nah, we're overdue for a crippling and unexpected letdown. Andy+Jack+Dion+Sergey to the Lakers for Pau and Swaggy P in a surprise move.
 
Is this official or speculation?

A hyper-extension is just a sign and not a diagnosis of any underlying condition. You don't need special medical knowledge to say he hyper-extended his knee, just eyeballs.

That being said, anyone who gives a timeline of recovery from just watching that is full of poop.
 
I wouldn't be too surprised if we don't get a complete report on Wednesday about Waiters. It's close enough to the trade deadline that the Cavs might not want to reveal everything about the status of their players to potential trade partners.

As much as it sucks to see him get hurt while he and the team are playing so well, I hope this gives Mike Brown an excuse to finally give Sergey meaningful minutes with the big boys.
