👀 I made a big fuss about it twice on the Pistons Lead account
I like huerter but I miss Ivey
Overall, it was a great move…Mad respect & ♥ for Jaden Ivey, but I LOVE Kevin "Red Velvet" Huerter a lot!!! He was born to be a Piston! Loved seeing him play so well in DC this past week (when I caught the Pistons twice in Washington, DC) Let's go Deeeetroittt Basketball, #1 In the East Since early November! 💯👏
Thank you to everyone for sticking with me over the past two months. I apologise for the inconsistent content lately; I explained it in more detail toward the end of the video. But expect 4-5 videos per week from here on out, appreciate you all!!!
hurter is way better tbh, iveys not even in the league right now
With Jaden I think it is more mental than physical. He kinda sounds like he is giving up on basketball. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out of the league in the next 2 years.
Give up a couple of 2nds and get Ayo or Coby. Trajan is absolute trash
Ivey is a worthlessly terrible player.
Ivey has found Jesus and he's serious about it and its a good thing, but for fans of his its not, sometimes when someone goes through what he has been through and turns to Christ and lives it everyday you go through a change sometimes that can possibly take you away from the things you've loved to do to go for a higher calling. His injury dud effect his confidence and i saw that first, but the more I saw his interviews I noticed a big change in his personality that wasn't there before that told me basketball was his main attention , it part of his understanding and development but also his choice and I respect that of him.
I have been starting to think that the reason we traded Ivey aside from falling short statistically, might be because of contract extensions we need to think about next year. Duren stepped up in a big way this year while he’s eligible for a new contract, with the all star status and potentially a deep playoff run he should be expecting a pretty big contract. Ivey was drafted the same night, so I assume that he is also in need of a new contract, it would be hard to pay him a fair price while keeping Cade duren and such. I never disliked Ivey, and if it weren’t for salary caps I would say trading him for what we got was not worth it, but moves during this offseason might be made because of this trade
