Dion Waiters speaks on being “sabotaged” in Miami to winning a title 

Post#1 » by Klayforspicy » Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:35 am



Honestly all it does is speak to the charitable heart of the Lakers and LeBron, we know “Cheeze” didn’t really move the needle on that team..

However it is amusing that he got a ring over the team that cut him

Let's be honest he's lucky he's in the league period.

If somebody really gave him a bag of gummies to eat then they should have been reprimanded.
He could of ended up in the hospital or had a seizure on the plane

(my money’s on James Johnson or Winslow, who were both traded)

He had his best season of his NBA career thanks to us. He should be more thankful and learn how to take responsibility for his actions.

So now we know what really motivated the Lakers and spurred them to the win.

For Dion.

IIRC he CHOOSE to eat weed gummies. I could be wrong though. Either or, the dude comes off as a douche.

I’m pretty sure him and lebron would have had a bad relationship when bron came back to Cleveland. Circle of life

The good ol' "someone tricked me" defense. The same one I used the first time I was caught drunk by my parents... "Someone must have put something in the soda I was drinking!"

My guess is Riley gave it to him. He did say it was sabotage...

Is the dude 12? Who made him eat the gummies? Is it the same dude who made him eat all dem cheeseburgers and had him show up to camp 30 pounds overweight?

Fat Dion needs to shutup and work on his retirement body. Noone thinks the lakers won a championship because of him or his career was sabotaged by the Heat for the privilege of having to pay a premium to trade him. The lies athletes tell themselves

That would require him taking ownership, being responsible for himself, learning from his past mistakes, and having some semblance of self-awareness. I've given up on Waiters ever been a real human being much less a good basketball player.

He is who he is and that's all hell ever be. Talent doesn't change that...

Dion was actually pretty good in the bubble before he got hurt before the playoffs started. Averaged 12 ppg and was one of the first players off the bench. Honestly him not being on the active roster is a praise to the Lakers and just shows how deep their team was.

He wasn't good on either end of the court. He scored 12pts on 10.5 FGA per game. VORP had him literally a 0. DPM had him -2. WS put him at .038

averaged 12/2/2 in 23 minutes before doing ok against portland, then getting hurt and then playoff rondo showed up

probably still offered a lot of value in practice.

miami could've used him in hindsight with dragic going down
