Re: SGA potentially gettable
We can't really make these types of trades as our 1st round pick is locked up in protections for the next few years at least (the only way to get around this would be to release the protections on the pick this season so it conveys and we can trade future ones, which would be ill-advised given we are almost certainly drafting in the lottery in 2023).

Re: SGA potentially gettable
I'd love SGA on the roster, but not seeing the fit. Trading Cade for him is a non-starter. You get him to pair *with* Cade if you're making a move like that. But I'm not really ready to give up on Ivey already and I think we struggle to get them all enough time on the ball if we have all three on the roster. Also, I'm not what we have that OKC would really want in exchange for SGA. Not sure why trading SGA would make sense for them at all. They are already loaded with young talent and draft capital. If he's under contract, they can just say no. What's he really going to do? There's a reason Durant and Kyrie are still Nets.

Talking about adding a dominating two way player 6'6 7ft wingspan putting up 30 5 5 on 62% TS
The Pistons are worse than OKC, quite possibly the worst team in the league, I don't why anybody especially a superstar tired of losing would even entertain coming here. I know that OKC can dictate where he goes but I'd rather not traded for a disgruntled player.
BTW, I could see Cade being the next guy to voice his displeasure with the situation if this continues next season. He already seems to be beyond frustrated and seems flat out disinterested at times. Makes you wonder if he's unhappy here already, just total wild speculation on my part.

Re: SGA potentially gettable
Yeah this "oh no, I'm scared we might lose Cade" rhetoric needs not gain anymore momentum. Cade quite often is a big part of our struggles. This ain't a case of him tearing it up and everybody around him stinking. He doesn't even have a reason to be mad or frustrated at the situation. At times, he IS the situation.NYPiston wrote:buzzkilloton wrote:Snakebites wrote:He's tired of losing, so I'm sure a trade to one of the few teams worse than his would smooth that right over.

Yeah were worse because we dont have SGA on our team. If you watch the youtube video I linked he talks about how many points SGA being on/off has been worth its a ton. Give us SGA and we will be better then OKC and OKC is about to be 5-7 right now which is East playin level.
Actually OKC was expected to be a tank team this season. Sportsbooks had their win/loss lower then ours. SGA is so good they cant tank properly. Presti wants to tank because of the draft and having no Chet hence why he would even be gettable. Presti has been trying to move SGA for years now.

Re: SGA potentially gettable
Cade has been good but, yeah, definitely needs to up his consistency before he can start trying to demand his way out.
(Not that he at all strikes me as the type to do so).

Re: SGA potentially gettable
SGA something else. 42 7 6 tonight. He just had two 37point games in a row tonight. Hes doing this efficiently too.
The Thunder built a terrible lineup to tank. This guy is so damn good they cant.

Re: SGA potentially gettable
At this point they should just trade in guys to put around him. He's looking like the guy you stack all those picks for in the hope of landing. Problem is they don't really have the salaries to match bringing in any guys on max-level contracts, so any splash they make would have to be on players still on rookie deals.

Re: SGA potentially gettable
Hopefully Cade can have a big jump like him. Their games are kinda similar when you watch them.
