Dion Waiters, Miami Heat

If there’s any chance that is has “clicked” for Dion Waiters, any team looking for a bench scorer should look no further than adding him. Perhaps the best thing about potentially making a move for Waiters is that he’s essentially an expiring contract.

He will almost definitely opt out of his two-year contract after this season, so if it doesn’t work out you simply let him walk. Problem is, not many teams would be willing to part ways with a first-round pick, which is what the Heat should ask for, with that type of mentality.

Waiters is averaging a career-high 16 points, 3.5 rebounds and four assists this season on 39 percent shooting from three-point range.
