I don't know if any fans remember this person, the rookie with the fourth pick in the first round of 2012, the guard selected by the Cavaliers, Dion Vitesse. This person, not simple, talented, but also a representative of squandered talent, he was the first person to disobey Irving, the rookie season with Irving to grab the boss, but also in the locker room with Irving staged a full martial arts trip, the result was too heavy, broke the bridge of Irving's nose, and he was banned twice. Later, he moved between teams and finally retired in 2020 after winning the Lakers championship.
Vitesse is a natural scorer, he is the number one scoring machine at Syracuse University, he is Anthony's apprentice, in fact, Syracuse University likes to cultivate this kind of singles king. When the fourth pick was selected by the Cavaliers, the team already had Irving, another guard, the draft pick is also higher than him, to know that in 2011, Irving only played 11 college games and was elected to the title, so whether it is according to prestige, or in the order of seniority, Wieters should be ranked behind Irving, but Wittes believes that he is the core of the team, he is the tactical core, because of the ball problem, he did not feel good about Irving from the beginning.
Now Irving has a lot of problems, but, at that time, Irving, the rookie Irving, did not have any negative news, but in fact, everyone did not know, Irving from the beginning, is paranoid, his requirements for his teammates, must play according to their own wishes, they must have the right to speak in the dressing room, which can also explain why after winning the championship in 2016, he has to apply to leave the Cavaliers, because he does not want to be the little prince next to James, he wants to be a leader. And Wittes, on the other hand, is most unaccustomed to his "one-word" style, so in the post-game conference room, he fought with him without a word, Owen's small body, where is the opponent of the strong Wittes.
In the conference room, When Vites punched him, Owen's nose was bleeding profusely, and Owen couldn't fight back, so he had to go to the team doctor. Later, the matter was not exposed at the time, but then Wieters shook this out during the Heat, when Irving applied to leave the Cavaliers, Wittes expressed that he was still angry with his former teammates, so he said it, and said indignantly, my punch was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, so I was banned twice, that punch was too expensive.
In fact, to be honest, if it were not for the personality problem, the development of Vitesse would have had higher achievements. After the Cavaliers played two and a half seasons, they were traded to the Thunder, and then after the Thunder played for half a season, they were traded to the Heat. In the Heat, he got a four-year, $52 million contract extension, averaged 15.9 points per game in the Cavaliers' second year, and averaged 15.8 points per game in the Heat's 16-17 season, whether in the Cavaliers, Thunder, or Heat, he was a man who was eligible to shoot, and he also scored. During the Heat period, he killed the five-star warrior by three points, which was too explosive and very domineering. However, in the late heat, Wittes's life was not good, when he was suspended indefinitely by the Heat for personal problems, and as for the reason, the Heat did not announce.
Later, Wieters and heat discussed breaking up, the Heat agreed, traded it to the Grizzlies, and then the Grizzlies and the Lakers reached a deal, in February 2020, Wittes was sent to the Lakers by the Grizzlies, and mixed a championship in the Lakers. What is surprising is that Vites is very well-behaved in the Lakers, not only did not cause trouble, but also did not let him play, he did not complain, very responsible, so some people think that only old Jen can hold Vites, and others, what Owen, Westbrook, Butler, can not stop this stab that hits his teammates without a word.
