Teams have taken away the lobs to Duren and have stopped blitzing Cade as much with the doubles as he was burning teams over and over with early passes and 3 vs 2 where Duren and everybody else could eat. Orlando and Boston did more manning up and sending late doubles at opportune times that earned timely turnovers. Cade's gonna eat that way because he's can get his, but the rest of them struggle with that.
This is where a legit second option comes in handy. That's what they're hoping Ivey is but he so clearly not ready yet that I think they need to send his ass to the G league for a week or 2. Him and LeVert came into the game and all flow stalled on both ends of the floor. If Ivey doesn't shows that he's coming around by February then I wouldn't mind packaging him for a upgrade. No rush right now, but they gotta figure out what they got in Ivey by February to determine if he's worth paying or getting something before he walks in the off-season.
