Nitty, Waiters, KP, Willy looks good on paper for a promising young core.

Two young guys who do completely different things but complement one another well. In the meantime Baker is also a nice short term starter with Waiters, not as good as Dragic, but Baker will get Waiters the ball in his strong spots.

Baker and Frank are two High IQ players with the ball in their hands....And they are team first types. Plus they are score when needed. And they are not undersized, so that helps on defensive PnR.

Waiters would be a nice compliment to Melo....And would help me forget about Dennis Smith or Monk.....Who are similar offensive threats as Waiters, but shorter. I'm worried Waiters will turn down the broadway lights for the sand and sun. But if he's smart, he will use the exposer and NY marketing by helping us turn this franchise around. Miami ain't going anywhere and he will always be in Wades shadow. NY stunk for over 20 years.....Perfect place for someone up and coming to make their career explode. And Waiters is a NY type of guard.

Yes, his tank game is strong. Look at how he helped Cleveland collect picks. But he's not the right for what we want to do, which is develop Frank and Porzingis. Miami's organizational infrastructure is a better fit.

a shooting guard that avg almost 5 assist is a ball stopper..??

Some of you act like we have so many options..smh

A shooting guard with a true shooting percentage barely over 50%? Also, he averaged four assists and Melo averaged 3. Let's not make Waiters out to be Magic Johnson. Waiters is the chick at the end of the bar during last call lol Sometimes walking away is better than saying you pulled something just to save your pride.

Waiters was 50% on Catch n Shoot from 2pt and 42.8% from 3pt with an efg of 62% overall on Catch n Shoot. This is more of a Catch n Shoot Offense.

Waiters Assist % was 23.8 vs Melo at 14.5 last yr. Waiters may be flawed but he does have some pluses like being 25. He's not a good player but I can see some aspects where he makes some sense. He'd be more of a fit than DRose.

Didn't we say the same things about J.R.? I agree, he can be a useful player...for another team.
