I like Dion, tho.
We need him for the fukkery with Buckets and Brodie. Plus he's a bonafide person that can get their own shot.

Dion is a good player. It's just that we overpaid him. And let's not talk about last season. He came in fresh off surgery and out of shape. I dont think that's the bar anyone has set for Waiters.
Does he have a history of coming into a season out of shape? I dont know
But I usually give a player a year to get back to (somewhat) their old selves before i pass judgement.But dont let the amount we paid him blind you from what he is. Dion is a poor man's Jamal Crawford. He's a decent starter or great backup SG in this league. Unfortunately we paid him starter money by outbidding ourselves. If you list all 30 starting SGs in the league i'm sure you'll probably find 7 to 10 you'd pick Dion over IF they were to make the same money. Too often we let the salary cause us to over-critical of a player. Which the salary needs to be taken into context when determining if you want a player. But not when you're comparing his skills to others.
Edit: And even the annual salary is not bad. That's just the going rate these days for players his age ad resume in the league. I'm cool with him making $11M a year. It's the amount of years we signed him to (4 years) that made this a bad deal.

The only period of time that Dion Waiters has been a good player was during a random, fluke winning streak.
Define good player in your own words.
To me a good player is a player you can get quality minutes out of. Not a star. Not an all star. Not a super star. Not a GREAT player. Dion is a good #3 or #4 option on a good squad or a good player coming off the bench. We can categorize him as decent if you like but when he was healthy he was GOOD for us.

A good player is a player that produces positive minutes. Dion does not do that.
Didnt he do that when he was healthy, tho? Isnt that what i said earlier?
Dion is a good player and the numbers back it up
