I’m not. We all grown here we can speak ball with out emotions. There maybe some salt but it’s okay.
Melo my man, but IJS Cade is that dude right now. Been impressed with him. Nobody is talking about Cade.
I keep seeing this lamelo Ball posts but he not touching Cade either.Dude cant even get his team to win.

Rookie/Young player swap meet. Yeah I included Wagner on here, but he's pretty damn expensive. Zero interest in any second round picks at this time.
Franz Wagner- $52/4 years
Anthony Black- $43/2(3) years
Quentin Grimes- $35/4 years
Naz Reid- $25/2 years
Tidjane Salaun- $25/3(4) years
Jaime Jaquez Jr.- $21/4 years
Isaiah Jackson- $20/4 years
Isaiah Joe- $1/2 years

I think that Cade is more skilled offensively but Tatum is a better two way player.

Ball has a large following. He's really good but he's also really inefficient and i think he's gotta mature a bit. He's got room to grow though

I agree with this. Im thinking Cade is a better leader as well. Pistons been a Joke for years, but they are playing good ball with him spearheading that push.

Thats the key with Ball. Once that happens-it's game over.

And that following did no favors for him. That’s why he did not make All Star game starter.
The 25% Media and the 25% players know he suspect. Which is why they did not let him get the starter spot.
Dude name should be chuckelo ball.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
Melo Ball is flashy, hence all the hoopla and All-Star votes. But he hasn’t impacted the win column in his career yet.
Cade has arrived.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
Maybe I should have not picked Tatum and just made it Lamelo vs Cade.
And at that point it’s no contest.
3 to the head forgive me. lol

Will he ever is the question.
People think he is the best Ball Brother but I will argue Lonzo is still better when healthy

The ultimate glue guy. He was the difference between a good bulls team and a very mid one.
If healthy is the key though. Really, both balls are made of glass.
