    I don’t think Cade is a bust by any means yet but it’s disheartening seeing him not be as good as we all thought he’d be. It may just be this roster, coaching staff, or ownership but he’s not the can’t-miss prospect we all thought he was in his current state.

      He isn’t a bust but clearly not, ‘that dude’ caliber. Look like he might already be giving up on detroit and looking for a way out too.

        it would be shocking if he didn’t sign a rookie max extension with detroit

        he would be leaving tens of millions on the table, possibly more if no other team wants to give him a regular max

          Detroit will let him go into RFA and match whatever. Of course Cade will be arguing for the max extension 4+1 this summer. Other teams can only offer less money and a 3+1 no way their shitty owner doesn’t want to save money.

          You’re making the assumption that he’s even worth the rookie max extension

          Pistons would be stupid to give injury prone slow ass cade a max lol

    It’s probable that Cade looks much better on 29 other teams. Seems like this lineup is designed to magnify his weaknesses and completely hide his strengths. Worst possible landing spot for him.

    why does this sub love shitting on young players so much? like I get it when they’re cocky or a dick to fans or a child molester or something, but why this urge to shit on players like Cade who are just regular dudes trying their best and just not having it work out very well for them?

    Im a lifelong pistons fan so not trying to be a hater but Cade seriously gives me similar vibes to Towlie from south park

    Cade is one of the weaker #1 picks in recent history. Pistons don’t have a lot to show for a LONG time of sucking

    I never envisioned Cade as the guy dribbling into traffic to take a tough, contested layup over a good defender. I always imagined him as a guy who just scores in the flow of the offense. He was an enticing prospect because of all the boxes he checked: size in the backcourt, playmaking, leadership, shooting, ballhandling, etc. The only thing disappointing is his shooting - which is a big problem.

    He was supposed to be the type of guy that would attract free agents because of his floor-raising abilities. He is not being used as intended. Maybe it will just take time and this is all just a part of putting him through trials to stimulate growth.

    It’s probably deflating for the whole team to just be dribbling into the lane to kick-out to someone who won’t shoot the ball or take a tough layup or mid-range against traffic. How are you supposed to play hard when you get zero quality shots on the offensive end?
