Yeah, Cade gonna have to learn to sell that shyt, flail, yell or something. But he also gotta go up stronger too. He had a poor second half. Murray locked in and Cade kinda folded.
None of the rookies from last year get that respect from the refs. Mobley stay gettingpaotups and never get calls. Green is a league leader in drives to the paint and get nowhere near the attempts at the free throw line. I don’t watch Toronto and Suggs jsut underwhelming.

I've noticed that too. They ain't giving these young boys no breaks right now.

Jalen got killed last night on a fast break dunk that was basically a fragrant not called. Refs aren’t protecting these guys. He got foul at the most vulnerable moment of the dunk by THT and got T’d up becaue he ain’t like that shyt. That shyt could’ve put him down for a couple of moments

It didn’t have to be. That Pistons trade for him was essentially a salary dump as they didn’t want to take on any long term money even if it meant getting picks in return.
I said that to say wasn’t nobody lining up to throw first rd picks at the jazz for bojan just like they wasn’t for grant. They choose to take olynyk to start at center.

Detroit did get a first and a couple of 2nds for Grant though, so it’s not like Detroit gave him away on the cheap.

Olynyk’s contract isn’t fully guaranteed next year btw.

It was also to try and make us better and less likely to tank

He got injured at the trade deadline last season, which is why he didn’t get moved.
he wasn’t injured

Pistons and Portland always had a deal but portlands pick that Nola kept was the pick pistons wanted. Pistons still ended up with a lotto pick after trading Jerami that became Jalen Duren. Just took more steps and is taking back Kemba in order to help the knocks

A Milwaukee bucks first rd pick in 3 years. Which ain’t gonna be worth nothin with Giannis on the roster. They did give him away for cheap just like the jazz gave bojan away for cheap.
