I wish Dion the best. Weird the Thunder wouldn't let him wear No.13.

Probably because that was Harden's number. He is still a sensitive subject there.

edit: didn't see Jack's response above..
 
That interview is hilarious. He doesn't bad mouth the team but basically says that when guys went down last year, you saw what he could do. Well when guys were and weren't healthy this year, it sure as hell wasn't showing!

It should be interesting to see if his self conception ever remotely approximates his game
 
Good trade. Got length on the wing and a solid perimeter defender. Grabbed a guy who can be instant offense off the bench and got rid of a guy who wasn't buying in and didn't really fit.

I think the pick gets included in a package to go after Mozgov.

Weird.
 
Dion had to step up this year and didn't. Also, he will want big money after next year, and as much as I love him, he didn't earn it. I wish him all the best.
 
I was about to wish him luck but then he was going up against my Kings. So no. I hope you and your new gang go 12-72 tonight with your ISO chuckerinos

Just checked in. Looks weird in a different uni. Man, Jackson looks huge next to him.

First shot was a long 2 miss, btw.
 
Nice to see he didn't say anything bad about the Cavs in that interview. Said he enjoyed every last minute in Cleveland. True or not, nice to see a guy who isn't interested in bad-mouthing our city or burning bridges.
Have they seen you, really get to see you do what you could do?

Nah, I’ve always been like held back a little bit from really reaching and showing what I can do. I think last year I got a chance to do that when guys went down and I was able to show what I can do in that time.
 
Wanted to see Dion and his first game with OKC and say farewell. Clinks the first shot off of back of rim on a typical fade away 2 point jumper. Drives on second attempt and turns ball over. Takes another 2 point shot and clinks it also off of the back of the rim. Then next drives again to rim and layup is blocked.

Farewell to Dion and farewell to this thread.
 
Interesting read:

'Held back' by Cavs? Dion Waiters ready to make his mark on Thunder

"We never really played together," Waiters said. "Of course, I played with 'Ky,' but we never played with 'Kev' or LeBron and those types of guys who dominated on the opposing team. For them to come to Cleveland, we all had to change our games for the betterment of the team."

"For instance, my scoring went down [along with] 'Ky.' We're used to having the ball, and with LeBron he needs the ball to facilitate, make plays and things like that. It was a chemistry thing that was still building."

"I knew something was going to happen with everything that was going on with the way we were playing," Waiters said. "I just knew. I just sensed it."

Well I said i'd give a recap. Strange seeing him in the #23. Body language was extremely passive and you can tell hes trying to just fit in.

I was not high on him at all as everyone knows but I do have to feel for him, he struggled pretty badly up to this point. Highlighted at the end of the first half by a monster swat from Cousins just after the announcers were pumping Dion up.

Just showed him on the bench with a toweL over his head and his head down. OKC down 20.

As of right now 1-7 2 points 0-2 3pters a couple rebounds.
