Luckily our 2 guard is always healthy so while the extra scoring would’ve been nice it wasn’t needed!


That’s right. This injury is totally out of left field. The fact that bum ass Lowry has played more games than him over the past four seasons is just a coincidence.


Exactly! And it’s crazy to think including the playoffs Herro has only played 12 less games than Lowry over that same time in his youth!!

Give me some knee jerk Dame reactions while we’re at it!


Oh that’s right. Makes sense. Herro is injury prone too. So let’s get a more expensive older version of him. In fantasyland it all works out :lol:

Harden said it himself. He's the system. That's a lot to account for. Throwing a system into a system could take some time to figure out.

Yeah these guys are the exemption, everytime I hear that the league is trending for players extending their careers and playing better for longer. It only applies to a selected few, so like Lebron whom lost 40% of his athletism yet still top tier in league in hops, but is also 6'-9" forward, size still matters. Kevin Durant is a forward 6'-11" shooting guard, with elite handles/shooting for his size that is damn near a seven footer again size. Then you have Steph who is the best shooter in the NBA, who can shoot a 3pointer with one hand while squinting from 30ft away. Then you have people saying that their 6'-1" pg will end up looking like Steph curry at his age because you know steph can do it so can Lillard. Father time is unbeatable, however with those 3 on this tweet its just delayed ever slightly, but genetics are a hell of good thing to have on your side.

:nod: People look at the outliers and think that hard work is going to get their guy (our guy) there, but that guy wasn't a freak from the jump. I don't care how much hard work he puts in, if Jimmy hasn't significantly declined when he's 36, I'll be shocked.

Look no further than our own boy Dwade, hell of talent, hell of skill, hell of work he put in, hell of mental fortitude, yet farther time and genetics put him in a situation where he just had to call it. Jimmy is improving his 3point shooting which should help him but he still requires massive amounts of in season rest to be able to make it through a deep playoffs, and he looks really rough by end of it.

No meniscus in his knee which caused constant bone on bone friction is what cut Wades prime/career short unfortunately. Bad decision made in college

Id rather have Ivey. I like Cade. I think hes a strong character and a good talent for Detroit. Theyre not very good at winning basketball. Some are ready to crucify them, but I think they need another 3 or 4 years together.
