Numerous outlets, including Philly.com, have reported 23-year-old shooting guard Dion Waiters is interested in signing with the Philadelphia 76ers in the summer.
Waiters, although not a superstar, is a talented player with a lot of potential. Furthermore, Waiters could seriously change everything for the Sixers, and potentially speed up “The Process.”
Despite denying the rumors about wanting to sign with the Sixers, it’s not hard to understand why Waiters would want to make a LeBron-like move and go back home. He’s in Oklahoma City now and his family is in Philadelphia. Also, it’s possible Waiters denied the rumors because he–and his agent–didn’t want his current status on the Thunder to get murky.
