Dude was pretty good for the Rockets last year. I always thought he was a small SG but he is 6’5 210lbs, he’s only 24, and a good scorer. He shot 44% from the field last year and 40% from three. Plus he is athletic. Aaron Brooks, Wafer, and Trevor Ariza could have been good together, hell they could have built a team around those guys and built for the future. With Tracy McGrady’s contract ending...
There’s a reason Wafer has floated around the league despite showing promise everywhere he’s been. He’s not a team player. He’s a me first type of guy. A lot of times his tenaciousness hurt the team more than helped. There were times when he looked like the best player on the court, and then the rest of the time he’d either be ineffective or hurt the team.
He was pretty good when given the opportunity, you should look at what he did in January.
I don’t know, dude has never really gotten any playing time behind Kobe, JR Smith, AI, and Brandon Roy. Dude had barely played before this year. But even with the faults you mention, he can get better at those things, just look at JR Smith and how far he has come. But now who do Houston have at ...

Von Wafer got kind of mad that the Rockets talked/signed Ariza before talking to him. (Kind of like how Ariza got mad the Lakers went to Artest before him).
Plus, no team in the NBA offered him anywhere near as much money as Olympiakos.
For a guy who hasn’t really "banked" in basketball terms his whole career, it would be stupid as fuck to walk away from that offer.

doens’t it seem like all the guys are going to this one greek team? What about the other greek teams?
this is actually the same team Jannero Pargo played for last year. they are usually finalist, but haven’t won a cup in a while, so i guess you can call them a prestigious Greek team.
hes a ballhog and arrogant if he believed he was more important than ariza
in the playoffs i dont ever remember seeing him get the ball and not shooting it
