He’s outta here?! The Cavs are reportedly actively shopping second-year shooting guard Dion Waiters. They have spoken to three teams so far (maybe more). Check out who the 3 teams are & what Dion had to say about the situation after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Three teams the Cavaliers are known to have spoken with are the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers, the sources said. The Cavs’ targets are Iman Shumpert in New York, Evan Turner in Philadelphia and Luol Deng in Chicago, sources said.
It is believed Cleveland has reached out to other clubs as well.
Waiters, whom the Cavaliers drafted with the No. 4 pick in 2012, has a contentious relationship with several teammates, including star point guard Kyrie Irving, and sources say he is open to being traded. In fact, although Waiters has not demanded a trade, he brought up the subject in a three-hour meeting last week with coach Mike Brown and general manager Chris Grant, according to sources.
“It’s just nonsense,” Waiters said of the trade rumors following his season-high 24 points in the team’s 95-84 loss to Miami. “There’s been things thrown out there that haven’t been true at all.”
