Free agent shooting guard Dion Waiters may be the next target for the Nets, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical. Brooklyn is looking at other options after the Trail Blazers matched a $75MM offer sheet today for Allen Crabbe and the Heat did the same with a $50MM offer to Tyler Johnson.
The 6’4″ Waiters is a restricted free agent just like Crabbe and Johnson, so Oklahoma City would have the chance to match any offer. Waiters, who has spent a season and a half with the Thunder, averaged 9.8 points in 78 games this season.
Wojnarowski stresses that the Nets haven’t made a decision on Waiters, but they have been considering him as a backup plan and will discuss a formal offer this week. Brooklyn has about $36MM in cap room remaining.
We need to go after sullinger too were gonna be bad but a 5 of Lin waiters RHJ sullinger and Lopez sounds nice
I don’t disagree with you.
This would be a solid move towards getting the Celtics the #1 pick.
Not to mention the same with Boston for next year if they end up overpaying Waiters and can’t do anything next year, in order to reach the floor this year.
