He and Duren reportedly just met with Gores... I think its entirely possible if this streak carries on into the mid to late 30s that Cade says he can't handle it anymore and needs to jump off the ship. Most likely they sit him for a few games due to injury and let him stay home to get a mental/physical break from all of this. I think its taking a toll on him for sure.
That said, the reverse is also possible. The losses weigh on him and instead of folding he doubles down and it forces him to become a better player because of it. Some guys look for the easy exit and some guys make sure they put in the work so they never have to feel what rock bottom feels like again. It made Jordan sick to lose to the Pistons and that hate helped fuel him to get over that hurdle... he put the work in... hopefully Cade uses it as fuel and doesn't use it as a reason to want to be somewhere else.
I would love to read about it. Or is this being reported on the radio?
Its about damn time, as Cade has a ton of power, and can force the front offices hand on certain things.

He visited the team a couple days ago, quietly, and met with Weaver, head coach Monty Williams and a handful of players to get their assessments of the team’s issues — and probably lay some directives, too.
Someone mentioned it, perhaps James Edwards... they he specifically met with Cade and Duren and that was interesting to me since Duren is still a young 20 year old kid and was also injured at the time he supposedly met with them.... The fact he didn't reportedly meet with guys like Stew/Ivey/Bojan etc is perhaps a bit telling that Duren is high up on the food chain when it comes to how ownership views Duren.
