billy donovan just hit the market. he'll be orlando's first call.
another big possibility is the knicks. mike brown could be out real quick if they get bounced in rounds 1 or 2 and someone with donovan's resume is available (overrated resume, imo, but a resume nonetheless).
milwaukee is a poisoned chalice. theyre going to dump giannis and be bad for a while.
"this is something i didnt think i would have to be talking about."
you dont have to talk about it. you chose to go on tv and talk about it because theyre paying you a lot of money.
1) it doesnt matter what happens this year because theyre going to pay duren. hope for continued growth.
2) i'm not sure they are focusing more on duren than just packing the lane because the pistons cant shoot, and taking away the pick and roll. that's not "focusing on duren" to me and rather focusing on taking away a huge part of DETROIT'S offense. you can say that's just as much focusing on cade.
the dofference being cade is able to do other things. duren is only able to roll to the basket and get lobs from cade. he cant create his own shot. he cant score when other teams set out to stop the pistons pick and roll.
3) if they really are "focusing on duren", it shows how easy it is to stop him. as opposed to cade. to me that shows duren as a replaceable player, not an irreplaceable max contract player.
i wonder if they will come out and aggressively trap the whole game next time? especially when cade is off the floor.
still nothing from duren. he's so dependent on cade for any offense. i bet if paul reed played his minutes with cade, he'd put up similar numbers.
good to see duncan get going.
cadd is the whole team, but ausar is the straw that stirs the drink. makes them go on defense. him and stew.
i want apologies from all the daniss jenkins uber fans. he's a nice story, but he cant hang when the other team turns up the heat. getting another ball handler at the deadline would have been nice. there were plenty available.
