Ku, always trust your dog!
Put it this way: if these two swapped teams, I would have Cade's Hawks threatening a finals trip instead of expecting Cade's Pistons win maybe half their games.
Cade ad P5 will be the talk of the east
Stew and Duren are great but we still need a stretch 4/5
Man anybody see Simone F balling with Italy. 🇮🇹 Hitting game winners. We needed that last year !!!
Hey Ku! So my thought on some Simone fontecchio is this I believe that he's going to do whatever player that the Pistons trade away does. That is that when the Pistons play against the Miami Heat this season I believe Simone fontecchio is absolutely going to kill them.
There is a very very very narrow set of team roster construction types where I'd consider Trae over Cade…
Short PGs have a very limited shelf life before the NBA defenses figure them out…
And I think Trae has been mostly figured out…
Stew was making progress with his 3. I understand why JB had him focus on being a defensive 5, but I wouldn't mind seeing how it looks. Maybe use him in a 4(ish) role in certain situations, especially if Tobias Harris misses games.
Its cade bro. You can't teach the size cade has, he's younger, passing is a wash (both great) and cade is a better all around scorer. Trae shoots more 3s and thats nice when he is hitting but he is also a defensive liability that has to be hidden. When the pistons play the Hawks who trae going to guard? Thompson? Thompson 6'7" 220 and looks stronger this year. If they do that I fully expect him to get picked on. Cade, ivey and Thompson can score on trae with relative ease….Detroit has two ways with size.
