Lol I seen a bunch of people on GB saying that on the right team he'd be a great player. I just don't see it. Too much iso ball and pull up jumpers. His body language is terrible as always.

Waiters is a good player. He just has attitude issues and the Cavs are a poor fit for him. Nothing that isn't fixable.

Maybe... I feel like I've seen 100 players like him come into the league and end up in China 4 years later

Waiters would do really well on a team like the Grizzlies. He'll still have to come off the bench but, he'll be the best shot creator on the team. Grizzlies badly need a shot creator. He'll also be the primary ball handler along with Conley.

A veteran team like the Grizzlies could keep him in check. I don't want the Cavs to get Koufus (I actually think he'd be a great fit with us) but if i'm the Grizzlies, I do the deal.

KK is an UFA and he isn't happy with his role. He'd fit great with the Cavs and Waiters would fit well with the Grizzlies imo. Good deal for both sides. If I'm Memphis, I ask for my pick back. KK, Toronto & Boston 2016 2nd round picks for Waiters & Memphis 1st round pick.

If the guy can't play with Lebron, he won't be able to play with any team. At this point of his career, he's not a first or second option on a team, so he's got to get used to be a role player.

I remember he got all worked up about Andrew Wiggins being the starter over him (when they still had him). Now he can't outplay the corpse of Shawn Marion.

I think he's a pretty talented guy who is playing on low confidence at the moment(sounds crazy for a guy like him) I'm not sure if he'll be a "great" player but he can definitely be a good role player under the right coach and system. I think he just needs to get away from Cleveland and go to a place like Dallas.

His confidence is at an all time low right now, just watching him play vs us, he barely shot the ball. I think he actually wants to play within the system but Cleveland just might not be the best place for him, they have Irvings,James,Love to feed first and their system isn't fond of a guy who wants to play iso ball. He still has time to grow up and perhaps find a new home, I really think going to the Mavs(current team/Coach/Make Cuban etc) would do wonders for him. I doubt they need him right now but a team similar to Dallas would help.

From the Knicks board:

Bill Pidto wrote:The Knicks traded Chandler to appease Melo and ease tensions in the locker room. I'm sure of that now.

Unfortunately, those tensions are still high.

My feeling is that Melo is like the cool kid in class who doesn't listen to the teacher and is constantly talking to his friends while her back is turned. Although he's smart enough to get Bs without studying, and is rarely disciplined because of it.

JR is like the follower who is shooting spitballs at the chalkboard just to make Melo laugh, but his grades are suffering. A lot of the other kids are also having trouble paying attention because of all the commotion, and many are starting to misbehave as well because there isn't enough order.

Of course, the few smart, well-behaved kids who are there to learn are annoyed at Melo and JR on a daily basis, and wish they had taken a different class.

Tyson was at the guidance counselor's office every day to bitch and moan about the distractions in class until they finally changed his schedule. He's in class with his friends again, forming study groups and competing for the best grades. His mom is very pleased.

Masai made him so paranoid with that Lowry trade proposal :lol:

This probably portrays Dolan's feelings at the time pretty accurately.

ISH (just seen a mod go off on a Knick fan) and RGM both do this to Knicks fans.

But it seems like it's always the case that their unrealistic that causes such backlash. I've seen it for like 3 decades now myself.

I feel Brooklynn is a darkhorse.
They lots Pierce/Livingston/Thorton but Bogdanovic is a pretty damn good lights out shooter when he's playing at home, Jack usually does well in the playoffs and Lopez is playing this season. Williams is playing surprisingly well this season as well. I rather have the Hawks/Bucks/Pacers over them.
