Dion Waiters hopes to work together with Wade in summer: I want to pick his brain
The guard is on a $2.9 million contract and he can aim at almost $15 million per season from the summer, considering his performances this year
Dion Waiters would love to re-sign with the Miami Heat next summer, during the free agency.
The guard is on a $2.9 million contract and he can aim at almost $15 million per season from the summer, considering his performances this year.
Per Miami Herald, But Waiters, 25, already knows how he wants this summer to play out.
“I want to get it done as quick as possible,” he said, hoping Heat longterm interest is mutual. “Let's keep this thing rolling by any means. I don't want to go into free agency with a couple days and make a decision. I don't want that. I know where I want to be. Let's just get it done. My mom loves it here. Would be mad at me [if I left]. My son loves it. My family loves it.”
Waiters also wants to reach out to Dwyane Wade with the hope to work out with the former Heat now in Chicago.
Per Miami Herald, “We've got the same initials, our games are similar,” Waiters said. “Difference is, he's got them three rings. He's a Finals MVP. Top three best shooting guards all time. I'm chasing that. He's one of my favorite players, one of the players I idolized my game after. When he's playing against me, I'm checking things he's doing.
“Hopefully, one of these summers, we can get together and he can teach me some of the tricks of the trade of getting fouled more. I am definitely going to reach out to him to see if I can propel my game to a new level. That’s what the best players do. You see Kobe [Bryant] with Michael [Jordan]. A lot of guys go to Hakeem Olajuwon to learn. D-Wade’s my guy, one of the best players to ever play the game. It's always been little brother, big brother from afar. I want to pick his brain.”
