Deleterious

Rumors of Ferrari talking with Adrian Newey. Lewis was huge. Newey would be even bigger.

I saw him talking about Duquesne a few days ago and didn't understand why. Now It makes sense.

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.

Will Cade sign an extension this summer?

My new Weaver conspiracy theory. He never tanked. He is just so inept at his job we all assumed he was tanking.

Stewart is also out the rest of the season with a pulled hamstring.

Someone said this was posted at Costco. Glad to see businesses starting to push back.

With the 3rd pick in the 2024 NBA draft...

I don't see them having much value. Best case is probably a very flawed player like Lavine who has a massive contract.

For those wanting to trade Ivey/Duren. What are you looking to get in return? I feel like their value might not be that high right now.

Hopefully a different/new GM will be looking for trade partners.

I bet we still would have said Cade left too much time on the clock.

Awful decision by Cade.

Cade totally lost that game for them. Tie game shot clock off no reason to shoot it with 8 seconds left.

They don't double Cade and he roasts them for the layup. Tie game.

Bench is playing really well. They have Detroit back in it.

Everything Miami has done on defense today is designed to make Cade expend energy. Every time he has the ball he is doubled, sometimes with a third defender in drop coverage spying on him. My favorite thing is Miami full court pressing when Cade brings it up. Williams apparently hasn't noticed this because Cade keeps bringing it up rather than letting someone else do it.

Not sure how you call a foul on Cade there.

Small/Quick guards like Rozier are always going to be an issue for this backcourt. Cade is too slow and Ivey doesn't move well enough laterally.
