The Miami Heat should do absolutely nothing with Dion Waiters, that’s it
The Miami Heat are in a very perplexing position when it comes to the enigmatic Dion Waiters. With a few options before them, here’s the route to take.
The Miami Heat are a no-nonsense organization if there ever was one. They are known for their discipline, hard-working mentality, and their requirement that their players be malleable enough to take on those same qualities for themselves, at least as long as they dawn the Miami Heat jersey.
This hasn’t typically been a huge issue for the Miami Heat, as they’ve helped quite a few misguided souls get themselves on the straight and narrow, while they have also never been shy about shipping someone out who couldn’t quite cut the mustard.
They now find themselves in one of the most perplexing pickles that they have ever allowed themselves to fall into. Dion Waiters, who has already been suspended or sent home several times this season, has now been suspended again. While the Miami Heat have a few options available to them as to how they should play this situation further, there is one option starting to look like the best among the bunch.
While trading him would be the optimal option, there are and have reportedly been no takers for quite a while, as they have also been trying to relieve themselves of his services for quite a while. While another option would be to endure it and find a way to play him, that just isn’t the Miami Heat way. Another, and the popular option from this direction, would be to pay Dion to sit home and stay as far away from the building, team, and organization as humanly possible.
While I am sure Waiters isn’t a bad guy, he has shown nothing but bad things for the most part during his Miami Heat tenure. Though I am usually one never to categorize or judge, he has at times been selfish, arrogant, self-centered, disloyal, and ungrateful to the Miami Heat organization.
He might see it as “betting on himself” and winning, but the lick really reads like the Heat were the ones taking a chance. When no one wanted anything to do with Dion Waiters, for these very reasons, it was the Miami Heat who gave him a chance to “bet on himself”. He played well and they took care of him.

He has done nothing since, but taken that opportunity and spit in the Miami Heat’s collective faces on every possible occasion that he has had the chance to do so since they took care of him. This is why until or if by some miracle they can move him, he should be paid and left home alone to stew. Philly cheese and potato soup anyone?
