The only part of this story that should be surprising is that Dion Waiters has kept in touch with Kyrie Irving since the media beefed up stories about a feud between the two of them but it’s obvious Waiters and LeBron James are not the best of friends.  We’ve all watched Waiters beg for James to pass him the ball, or shoot it when LeBron is asking for it.  We also know that LeBron reportedly okayed the trade that sent Waiters to the Oklahoma City Thunder and J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert to the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Still the media is going to continue asking Waiters about his new home and his relationship with his old home.  Here’s what he had to say.

Since Dion Waiters was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a ton of shots have been thrown, off the court…  Kevin Durant said he would make Waiters “feel wanted” and so far he’s been going out of his way to do so, including moving Waiters’ locker closer to his and Russell Westbrook.  “(I) don’t think he felt that the last couple years,” Durant said.  It was no secret that there was clearly some friction between Waiters, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James on the Cavaliers.  Several videos went viral of James refusing to pass the ball to Waiters.  So naturally when Waiters was asked why he’s successful with the OKC Thunder, he used the opportunity to throw shots at his former team.
