    Ummm I think you are wrong about Lebron being "not sharp either". Has near photographic memory from games long passed, speaks very well and is praised by any around the team as being a "savant". Leadership qualities.

    LeBron is not sharp?? That is objectively ridiculous. “Low IQ” like comment. Let’s not.

    Using proper Engrish does not make someone smart

    I think we have very different meaning of being sharp and I don't mean his NBA smarts

    I mean what you mean too and think it is quite a reach to compare him to Waiters. It's OK though, we each have our opinions.

    I'm trying to understand what criteria you've used to come to that conclusion about LeBron.

    The guy has been a millionaire since 18 probably, and has only increased his wealth and I've never heard of him doing anything foolish with his money. Photographic memory. Maybe the most thoughtful spokesmen ever for the NBA once he got past the immaturity.

    What qualities do you see that nullify all of that?

    Great signing...

    Tall, good shooter, good wing defender, good playmaker.

    Oh wait...

    LeBron is an extremely smart guy. How is he “not sharp”?

    J.R. Rider Redux? Hope Waiters contributes and is a positive presence.

    Dion Waiters is the Joker in our deck. Legitimately excited to see what he can do with the Royal Flush that is our team and fanbase. A little crazy can't hurt a team right?

    The late Cotton Fitzsimmons once said you can't have all milk drinkers on your team.

    A little crazy is good. Worked well for the Bulls.

    He can fill a role.

    I'm not positive we can expect these nights out of Bradley consistently.

    However, if Dion come come in, and just give us 7-9 points, some ball-handling, a reliable spot-up threat; then, I'm happy.

    I'd like to get 15-17 pts from him and Kuz nightly, ideally. Idk if that's possible.

    24:00 minute vid; it gives you a nice glimpse into his personal and basketball life.

    I hope he gets it together. I am rooting for him.

    Bring a little Philly Swag to Los Angeles, Dion.

    Is he playing today? Would be nice if he could get some minutes to get accustomed with the offense and, you know... just get the opportunity to chuck some shots.

    He should. With Bron questionable and after the weekend he had, he should rest. It's the Nets, should be a primed opportunity to get Waiters some burn.

    We need to integrate him.

    Let's see what he can do; it's night like tonight we could have used his scoring; at the very least, he'll give the team a different look.

    And I admit he might not work, but we really need another gunner out there.
