With Cade Icewood we bossin up to the #1 pick, again- Detroit Pistons 21-22 Official Thread

[MercuryHayes]

im watching cade smiling like a proud dad, watching his only son that made it

34pts, 8 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 steals

Casey was really giving his starters..a bunch of 20-22 year olds.. 25-28 mins a game

Either Cade and the staff agreed to a minutes benchmark for x amount of games while coming off injury or Cades team got with the staff and said cade cannot be playing this low of minutes.. It's no surprise his numbers are picking up as hes playing 35-40 mins consistently and I think this is how he'll win ROY.

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Bigs I'm interested in: Mitch Robinson, Bagley, Bamba
Bigs that arent realistic: Ayton, Nurkic
Bigs that are realistic that I don't necessarily want: Thomas Bryant, Drummond

• @djthegreat88 You mentioned Drummond as the pnr big cade needs but we both know his issue was deep rooted in who he is as a person and who he is as a person is the complete opposite of what Troy is trying to do here. Trust me, i've made similar comments until i remembered how much of a child he becomes and how bad his iq gets. Keep him far away from what is being built here. I know Mitchell may have similar iq concerns but he and Andre are not alike.

• Miles Bridges is a x factor this summer and I'm not convinced Charlotte is ready to bag him yet with the roster and contracts they have. I have to see what they do with Gordon first.

• I can see a world where Sexton is a multi year 6moty candidate. If he accepts his role and who he can be combined with his tenacity, it literally screams detroit basketball. Coming off the injury i can see a 3 year deal where the asking price isn't ridiculous.

In the same breath I see Brunson being similar but with higher IQ. But I'm not in the least bit interested in giving 20 mill to a midget who can't go off at any given moment. He's a luxury piece that a team further along can pay. Would be an absolute horrible decision at that price during this rebuild.

Also, Killian is averaging 8 and 7 assists since coming off the bench. . I would only add him in a Jerami deal if it makes sense but although he was the 7th pick and not showing he was worth going 7, i think hed be very good in the backup role. With Cade and Bey emerging, along with a probable top 3 pick and some summer moves, Killian doesn't NEED to score. His passing is elite and defense makes him worth holding on to.

Finna rep this is spot on

I think they were be precautionary and more or less checking the rest of the roster. Last three games they literally unleashed Cade on nikkas

I want Jabari but don’t think we will get blessed with #1 twice in a row. Chet ability to add weight scares me but he could be a potent weapon. Paolo could be a nice Blake like option like others said.

regardless I think we gotta trade grant. We ass with him. Ass without him. Might ass we’ll get some assets

These TV shows talk about the teams and players in the national spotlight. They are for casual fans. They not gonna talk about Cade till the team is doing better.

They should have showed Cade love but jokic was unguardable and they won it is what it is

I mean he's the first pick it's a reasonable possibility and everyone knows that.

I predict Cade goes for forty in a game this season
We play Orlando Friday and when Cade has days of rest before a game he usually drops 20 plus

Cade stinking it up right now, but I've seen him out it together after some really bad starts before, so hopefully this is another one of those times.
