Kings, Sixers have interest in restricted free agent Dion Waiters

Dion Waiters had always been known as a player who can get shots up. This past postseason with the Thunder, he proved that he could do so much more. Waiters put in the effort defensively and shot a respectable 37.5% beyond the arc in the playoffs.

Whether Dion Waiters is a max player or not is a discussion for a different day, but the simple fact of the matter is that some teams could use his talent. Dion is just 24 years old and still has a lot of room to improve. The team that signs Dion Waiters this summer is banking on the fact that he can improve enough to become a solid two-guard in the league.

Lately, there have been rumors that two teams have stepped up to become major players in the pursuit of Waiters.

Per Michael Scotto of Sheridan Hoops:

The Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings have interest in Oklahoma City Thunder restricted free agent Dion Waiters, per league sources.

The Thunder will have every opportunity to match any offer that another team proposes to Dion Waiters, but if it is a max contract that either the Kings or Sixers offer, the Thunder may have to let him go.
