Voted 0 but wouldn't be shocked if Pop "rested" Wemby against the Pistons and at that point we'd have a toss up.

I can't wait for us to go 1-2 and then for folks around here to start bashing Cade saying we're obviously more successful with him out of the lineup.

Or even better: We go 0-3 and then those same folks point to that as proof that Cade does nothing positive for us since the results are the same.

No reason to think we will win again this season

He's the best player to ever lead his team to a 3-33 record.

For much of the start of this season Cade wasn't playing winning basketball... low shooting % high TO poor defense high usage player doesn't help you win games. Yes, the spacing was awful but I think we all saw Cade grow as a playing during that losing streak and he really started to increase effort on defense, increase focus on playmaking, decrease the number of bad shots, etc.

The numbers show that Cade has been horribly inefficient in his career we don't need to try to prove that to anyone. And the question isn't really if Cade is a good player or not he clearly is our best chance at having an all-star and franchise player... the question is whether or not you pay him $40+ million per year for five years with a max rookie extension this summer... the way he started the season it looked like a no but the way he was playing most recently before the injury it certainly looked like a yes.

Here’s my best guess:

If Weaver is still the GM when it’s time to extend Cade, Cade will get a max extension. It’s an ego thing with Troy, much like the Bagley and Stewart contracts. Weaver will double down. In his mind, he can’t and won’t pivot.

If there’s a new GM, he will correctly trade Cade (and pretty much everyone else) to the highest bidder. It’s also an ego thing, but for different reasons. New job, new direction, etc.

My vote: Fire Weaver
