Facilitating is a skillset, doesn't mean he should be a full-time PG though. Cade is a better scorer/bucket getter and that's what should be protected. Yall just now saying dude is getting tired, Ive been saying that since he was drafted. If you want Cade to be the PG then fine, but bring in a dominant scorer to compliment. If you want Cade to be the dominant scorer and not fade down the stretch, bring in a facilitator that can get a bucket.

Keep in mind Cade has to play defense too.
Me personally i never said nothing about him being tired. He’s a young world class athlete. No reason for him to be tired. I think he just doesn’t have it all figured out yet. And that’s ok he 23. There is still multiple parts of Cade game that can be improved.

You make it sound so easy. Oh yeah just grab a dominant scorer or Chris Paul from 6 years ago. Cade can be a bucket getter and the main facilitator. He just need better teammates. A couple other ball handlers.

I don't think we're that far off on our views. I just don't think the scorer gotta be top tier (though I'd love it), they just need a another effective scorer or facilitator in the lineup. Right now they have neither so both duties are squarely on Cade's shoulders.

Naw, everything don't gotta be so negative. I'm just speaking on what actually is right now. I like that Ivey has shown improvement, but he's still really inconsistent and can't be relied on in either role right now. But if he wants it, like @eastside313 said, he's got every opportunity to seize it and be that guy. We see Beasley didn't wait on no ok to establish his role on this team. That nikka get out there on go from the moment his shoes cross the inbound line, and I ain't mad at it at all. Even Holland come out there focused on what time it is. Ivey get ample opportunity with Cade and without with how JB stagger them. Seize the reigns young fella if that's what you want!
