Report: Miami Heat Send Dion Waiters and James Johnson to Memphis Grizzlies

The deal between the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies keeps getting bigger.

This multiplayer trade is turning out to be a master stroke by Heat team president Pat Riley.

For much of the 2019-20 season, experts were sure that Miami would be unable to trade Waiters due to his multiple off-court behavioral infractions.

Instead, the Heat ended up being able to turn Waiters into valuable veteran assets

So far this season, Waiters has averaged 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

However, he has played in just three games so far this year primarily due to the three suspensions that Miami handed down to him.

Hopefully, Waiters is able to stay out of trouble in his new home and contribute on the court in a big way.
