Hilarious memories of Dion from Andrew Sharp at Grantland:
Men Lie, Women Lie, MEMORIES DNT

Andrew Sharp: It feels like just yesterday that Chris Grant shocked the world and took a shoot-first sixth man from Syracuse
with a fucking top-five pick. This was followed by Cavs fans relentlessly defending that move for the next several years. I swear to god, I was arguing with Cavs fans about Beal vs. Waiters as recently as August. Now we’re here. It’s
over in Cleveland, and last night I found myself getting a little nostalgic for the year of Dion. What will we remember?

Cavs coach Blatt told Waiters he needed spot-up shooter. Waiters resisted. Believes he's better than Kyrie, thought Kyrie "favored" by Cavs.

Of course that quote. His time in Cleveland was finite, but those words are timeless. Men lie, women lie, and buckets do not. Also, I got to the end of this section and just remembered that Waiters allegedly
broke Kyrie’s nose in a locker-room fight last year and then mysteriously disappeared for the following week. God, I wish he were still on the Cavs.
But now he’s on the Thunder. With OKC down 20 in last night’s fourth quarter, one of the Golden State announcers blurted out, “Maybe Dion Waiters will be the third scorer they’re looking for.” That quote is either the latest and meanest twist of the knife from the Harden trade, or hey, it could be true. Either way, time for more memories.
