Dion to Philly in 2017?

Waiters says no, but a source says yes.

Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer posted a column today purporting that Dion Waiters wanted to go to the Philadelphia 76ers after this season. Pompey cited a source close to Waiters.

To be clear, Waiters is a restricted free agent, and the Thunder could match any offer. But the 76ers have the room to give Waiters a massive contract. Furthermore, Philadelphia is where Waiters grew up.

But Waiters was quick to dispel the rumors on Twitter, just an hour or so later.
