Black and Cade are best with the ball in their hands. Cade should be a solid shooter so he can play off ball for a bit, but it’d take a special talent like Scoot for me to want to take someone whose ceiling from behind the arc is probably below average.
Cade isn’t the best player with the ball in his hands on the Pistons
Let me guess, Bagley is better?
You read my mind
We need to get mgl a Bulls thread so he’s got an outlet for some of these wild takes.
I do t think saying Ivey is better is that wild?
Have you seen Cade’s career shooting percentage?
For the record, my Cade pessimism that I’m frequently called out for is because I think he’s merely a potential all star and not a potential All-NBA player
My Bulls takes are very normie for Bull fans - seize the team from the Reinsdorfs, trade Lavine and for the love of god don’t re-sign Vuch
I’ve watched almost every game. Love Ivey, but Cade runs the offense better. And his shooting percentage is weighed down by games where he was coming back from injuries.
Which season
I just think Ivey has a level of athleticism and burst Cade will never, and his play making improved leaps and bounds already
Both seasons he was coming off injuries at the start. Played his way into form.
Cade just screams “Khris Middleton” to me
That’s not an insult
I don’t think that’s close to true but I’m bullish on Cade. I think Ivey is going to be lethal if Cade is healthy. I love their fit together
If the theme here is “lol crazy mgl” I’m just to drop this here and run
Gradey Dick next Klay Thompson
cloud of dust
Didn’t you want to assassinate Klay?
Oh I dislike his face strongly and I find his oncourt demeanor exhausting but he was very good
You know you’re dealing with reasonable folks when a laughably funny comment is deigning to insult Cade by comparing him to a 5 time all star and the second best player on a champion
Hey cmon man you’re not allowed to compare Gradey Dick to any player that isn’t a white Just-a-Shooter with an annoying face
The funny thing is the physically (ie, height, weight, wing span, etc) his closest comp IS Klay
But his second
Is
Kyle Korver
Both obviously very good outcomes, one quite a bit better than the other (even though I think Korver was criminally under-rated)
I just think Dick is a better athlete with more on ball juice than Korver
And when Korver was Dick’s age he was scoring 9 ppg in the MVC, not 14 in the best conference in the nation.
Sounds like there are teams inquiring about trading for Beef Stew to be their AG at PF FWIW.
Who is AG?
While I’m clearly more down on Cade than the Pistons crew (but not down!) I’m relatively up on Stew I think. I think he’s a winning player.
Aaron Gordon. Someone with size/strength at PF who can bully smaller player and can do the dirty work for the team while also sliding into the 5 if necessary. Beef Stew is a better shooter than AG which helps his value. A lot of players have said that Beef Stew is one of the strongest player in the league.
Also, it would be wild if Killian is the only player left standing from Weaver’s 1st draft class since Killian have no trade value since he sucks at shooting and provides little value other than passing and some defense.
