But he has to wait a year to be traded after he signs it. And it takes away the qualifying offer which is his only real leverage. He could be looking at two years before the Pistons finally trade him.
If Weaver is running the draft in June, I demand a trade July 1. The only risk there is if he makes all nba next year he would be eligible for a larger contract if still a Piston but not with his new team. I have zero faith in Weaver and wouldn't be mad at a young guy wanting to waste more time here under him.
Cade is a max player all day every day. I also think 3rd year Cade is better than 3rd year Hali. Cade has a much bigger bag on offense even though Hali is a better shooter. Hali is a better PG/passer. Cade is bad on defense but still better than Haliburton. But maybe I am showing some recency bias since Haliburton has been terrible since the all star break.
