I remember when people said the pistons wouldn’t trade Cade straight up for SGA. That was fun
That was after SGA turned a corner towards star player too. Nephews fall for hype so easily these days.
Sga one of my favorite players in the league I thought the thunder got a really good player in that trade, but don't fucking pretend like you knew he was a guaranteed 1st team all nba caliber playing, nephew.
LOL Shai has always been my guy. You're lashing out at the wrong homer
I never understood the hype. I dunno who should have gone #1 even looking back (Maybe Barnes now that he's starting to turn a corner again after a bad sophomore season) but I always felt like Cade didn't look the part of a top pick.
I mean he was a certified stud in college, if he was shooting 40% from three now like he did there then this would be a different conversation, his lack of burst and inability to get to the line wouldn’t be as big a deal if he was a great shooter.
Sengun would go #1 in a redraft
I have no idea why you're getting downvoted but it's Sengun. Scottie has regressed after a hot start and everybody else is... mid at best. I can see an argument for Franz I guess, but I know Sengun can be the lead scoring option on a decent team, that's what we're seeing now.

He's not a bust but he wasn't worth the hype. I feel comfortable saying that.
He's a bust he was the number one pick
yeah unfortunately he is firmly in bust territory right now. Also unfortunate that so many players drafted soon after him are turning into genuine star-level players.
He's also only played 92 nba games so far, barely more than a full season. Far too early to call him a bust imo.
We say that everytime but they end up being busts lol. Same thing was said about Wiseman. He is what he is shown hardly any flashes

Definitely one of the most overhyped 2 year players. It was clear to me that the "point guard paul george comparisons" or anything lke that was impossible

Looks like Cade Bustingham back on the menu boys
As a (at this moment very sad / unfortunate) diehard Pistons fan, I will say I’m way less concerned about the field goal stat
The TS stat is way more concerning. He is like if Demar Derozan didn’t know how to draw free throws or something. It’s insane, especially coupled with his turnover rate.

Nah this is crazy it's been 13 months since he was over 50% lol
As a Cade fan, I’m fighting demons
Joke's on me, bought a Cade jersey thinking this was his breakout year. I was really encouraged after the USA Basketball scrimmages. Now I'm worried about whether he'll even get an extension, or sign an offer that should probably be lower than the max the Pistons can offer.
I don't think the roster fits him, despite my being pretty high on the potential of some of the guys surrounding him, Ausar, Duren, Ivey... There's just no shooting to be found with any guy that's getting big minutes. Stew is shooting 38% on about 4 attempts per game and that's the best option? Gross.
Re: flair, wish we could wear 2 around here.
Ausar is like their best player
And Monty keeps benching him in the 4th quarter for no discernable reason. A couple games ago he was sitting for the entire 4th in what was a close game. It's a hot mess over in Detroit, we're not having a good time

Dude will just be a decent third option somewhere I think. Extremely disappointing for a number one pick
GIVE IVEY THE BALL. at this point we know who he is. He’s less athletic Westbrook. Can’t shoot turns the ball over like crazy but he’s going to take enough shots and get assists for his counting stats to look good
Ivey sucks. Pistons fans were giving Weaver ass to mouth when they drafted him lmao
We have bigger problems than that
just trade this guy to the Spurs
Literally plays with 4 starters who cannot shoot. Pistons halfcourt set is rough with the lack of spacing.
After we traded Nick Young and before we drafted Beal, the wizards were starting Wall (7% three point shooter), Jordan Crawford (29%), Chris Singleton (35%), Trevor Booker, and Nene (though we had Cartier Martin and Roger Mason Jr off the bench who were snipers). Anyway there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Wall was going to be a star. Not sure if Pistons fans still think Cade is that guy

Would you say that Cade is a bust? Not Anthony Bennett kind of bust but sort of?
Wouldn't go that far. The Luka and even Ben Simmons comparisons were always absurd to me, but I think he'll be similar in career arc to D'Angelo Russell. Still in the league, but at best a #3 in a team.

Personally, I see him having an Andrew Wiggins type of career. It doesn’t make him a bad player, but it’s still disappointing nonetheless.
That is a mind boggling stat. To be fair to Cade though, this is essentially his 'second season' in the NBA so people shouldn't jump on the bust bandwagon so fast.

Yall about to turn on him
Cades nice af. He’s just not in an ideal situation.
Everyone thought I was an idiot when I called Cade a bust 5 games into his career. Sure enough, he's proving me right. Cade is simply not a starting caliber guard in this league. The truth of the matter is, he was the #1 overall pick in an otherwise historically weak NBA draft. Of all the years the Pistons could finally get the #1 pick, it just happened to be 2021. Just horrible luck by that franchise. Anthony Bennett 2.0
With that being said, it's time to clean house completely. Trade Cade for a late 1st/early 2nd to a team who is desperate and cut your losses. Cut everyone else or trade them for a late pick. Sell the team and have the entire front office gone and replaced. The Pistons are going to be irrelevant for a very, very long time.
That leg fracture might be worse than we thought. Dude has like zero burst.

Inefficency merchant
I think people should calm down, this team is literally legendarily dog shit.
They won 2 games. Against like the 29th and 28th teams in the league, 10 games ago.
Give him a couple more seasons and a couple NBA players on his team, I bet he's at least a fair role player. Not a "bust".
Everybody says its easy to score in the NBA.. then there is Scoot/Westbrook and Cade.
R/nba too busy with RJ slander past few years.
he’s the only player on that team that needs to be defended…
They was saying to trade Shai for the 1st pick because Cade coulda been what Shai is now 💀💀
Cade is stud surrounded with zero spacing and either trash or young and inexperienced players.

Doesn’t help he has no help or spacing to operate. Like who’s spacing the floor? Alec Burks? Killian Hayes?
#Scottie Barns
He's like Julius Randle
Remember the whole Shai and pick #6 ordeal? Wouldn't even trade Jalen Williams for him straight up now. I'm an Oklahoma State fan and I loved Cade but I always felt like he was somehow past his athletic prime already even though his skills were so good. Gonna take a lot of work to overcome if he's still their #1 plan
Everyone feels bad for Cade but shit on Jalen for the same thing
This sounds like another player from that draft. One gets hated on like he fucked your mom and one gets coddled.
