That proclamation can't legitimately be made until you know what you could trade Cade for, what that package eventually becomes, and what Cade's ceiling turns out to be.


Sure, everyone has a price. And if we hear that a generational talent is available for Cade, it makes sense to trade him. Until then, the talk of trading him for some earth shaking package is a fantasy.
I don't understand the Cade trade talk.

People are saying he's not good enough to build around yet he's somehow good enough to bring back some massive haul of valuable assets?

If he's not good enough to build around who is giving up the massive haul?

After seeing what the Knicks gave up for Bridges, now I really want to see what Cade could get!

Cade's return would be a heck of a lot closer to Giddy's return than Mikal's.

I think the Knicks massively overpaid for Bridges.

Will be interesting to see what they do next given that roster is going to be very expensive soon

Yes. Mikal is a proven product who slots in perfectly on any team. Cade needs a specific situation to hopefully be maximized and most contenders already have what we hope and pray Cade will become.

Mikal is worth way more to a contending team- and only contenders give up hauls like that.

Thats no neg on Cade. Just facts.

I'm sure some immediately thought Cade was worth a similar package of picks but Bridges is far more proven and has historically been a Ironman

Then why does half this board think that giving Cade $226 million is a great idea?

The time will eventually come when you get your Cade trade

You're probably about 4 years too early though

Because Cade is worth more to a non-contending team (like us!) than Mikal is.
