As we reported last week, NBA officials who spoke to the Heat say Miami remains intent on trying to trade one of a few contracts with multiple years remaining, with James Johnson and Dion Waiters considered available on the trade market.
Brown didn’t sour LeBron on Cleveland all by himself. But several sources, including Maverick Carter (Hollywood producer, LeBron’s business partner, and close friend since high school), says the human frailties of Brown and others drove LeBron to distraction. Straight-A students can’t stand slackers. Throughout LeBron’s career, says one team source, he has displayed constant disdain for one teammate or another, from Mario Chalmers in Miami to J.J. Hickson and Dion Waiters in Cleveland.
Ira Winderman: Spoelstra on Dion Waiters’ conditioning, “He just simply has to get there. This is a really important summer for Dion Waiters. He has to work.”
Ira Winderman: NBA says Dion Waiters, not referee, created timing snafu at end of regulation Sunday in Toronto. NBA: “As the Heat are ready to inbound, the official sounds his whistle to start the throw-in but Waiters (MIA) steps onto the floor before the ball is at his disposal and the Heat begin their offensive set. Waiters then steps out of bounds to receive the throw-in and the official gives him the ball to inbound.”
Barry Jackson: Waiters and Derrick Jones available tonight
