Piston have crazy amount of cap space to max him and he’s a hometown kid. Huge hole on there roster at PF after trading Grant. Makes sense. His contract becomes an expiring by the time they have to pay Cade :yeshrug:
i don't know why yal want him for that much tbh

the hornets paying him makes sense because lamelo is the perfect point guard for him to grow with and we've got the pace, shooting, and spacing for him to thrive. asking him to play big on purpose? full-time? we tried that. he ain't even jeff green pre-injury

genuinely bothered detroit thinks he's special :dead: fukking up our books for what

Vegas odds usually don’t swing that fast if there’s no legit smoke, for ex. Banchero going #1 :lupe:

What would a PHO deal be? Ayton, Bridges and draft picks? Or would Cam Johnson be in it too? KD got 4 years left on his deal so whoever trades will probably get taxed

ayton, bridges, cam johnson + picks would be a good haul for the nets. i noticed someone made a tweet saying it sucks to lose you in phoenix to bridges and he replied with eye emojis. i think suns are getting KD.

No one thinks he’s special. He’s a good player that will be overpaid but fills a need. Pistons have the luxury of giving out a huge contract and it not hurt them long term. They would still have +20 mill in cap space next year after signing Bridges

Defense is team concept. Hornets piss poor defensive effort is a reflection of coaching and guys on roster. Cade, Stewart, Hayes, Bey play they ass off defensively. Casey not greatest X and Os coach but he holds them accountable and they always play hard. Bridges comes from MSU, you have to play some defense for Izzo.

If Hornets match a near max contract yall in cap hell/ treadmill nightmare before you even have to pay Melo. There is nothing melo can do for Bridges that Cade can’t duplicate

this is not a shot - cade is nice but he ain't reviving careers and turning a WOAT offense to a top 5 one overnight. that shyt objectively happened.

when cade does that and makes a guy who couldn't even beat marvin williams and cash'd out nic batum for a spot look like an all-star then let me know. because that's what miles needed. "there's nothing melo does that cade can't duplicate" ....the cade/lamelo shyt is the weirdest manufactured comp i seen in a minute.

and miles been here for years while the defense been ass. give dude his credit lol.... he's not that guy - but he looks like he is so he's gonna getting paid. im gonna throw up when yal force us to match this max after ayton goes to brooklyn.

Kawhi, PG and Wall are bound to miss 20-25 games. They’ll probably try to package a couple guys for another big
