Massive improvement from his rookie season and his small 12 game stretch of 2022. Overall his shooting splits aren't doing too well but this is likely because his inability to draw enough fouls and to finish at the rim fluently.

The talent is there, stats need to improve but not every player in this league can average 22 points per game. For being 22 years old Cade is being put into a huge spot for someone this young. Good thing that Bojan is back now.

Im not concerned because I won't blow my money on betting. But I'm sure these commercials will cause someone to get into betting and then ruins his life because he was dumb

Packers should be top 10 fr

Bengals should tank for the best linemen

Adams easily.

Nuggets fans got a taste of 2016 Reggie Jackson

The pistons should trade for Reaves. They need bench. Everytime the starting lineup gets subbed out they lose any less they had

The team is broken, so I'm not sure what he would do to help. Their main core is abunch of middle aged nba players that aren't as good as they used to be. If Kawhi and PG were both drafted by the Pacers that could have been a dynasty but what we see right now isn't it.

Paul will be out of the league sooner than later. It doesn't really matter anymore

 

The Utah Jazz are sitting at 5-11 and 12th in the western conference along with 23rd overall in the league. Markkanen however has been having a great year. 23.7 ppg on 48.4 field goal shooting.

Instead of trading him for young talent and picks, would it be smart for the Jazz to draft a top player in the draft and keep Markkanen all at the same time?

If they trade him, then they basically have to start all over but they could always just keep him and go for a top 5 pick regardless if the Jazz wanted to. The playoffs seem out of reach for Utah this year.

 

They are currently leading the league with 128.1 points per game. They allow 125.9 points per game which also leads the league in most points allowed. The 1982 Nuggets hold the record for most points scored all time at 126.5 ppg. The Pacers have yet to play in a game where any team scores under 100 points. They are putting up historical numbers to begin the season.

Hot take but the pistons roster isn't even that bad. If at some point, even if 80% of their roster was available they might be able to win some games. They are missing so many players that can score points on this team. It's crazy

 

Ahead of the Cavs, Lakers and Kings. Nothing special but it goes to show they have been competitive despite the amount of games they have lost. Currently sitting at -3.4 while the spurs are at -12.0

Keep in mind they are missing 4 legit players from their team that can all shoot 3 pointers. Bojan, Burks, Monte Morris, and then Jaden Ivey who has shot the 3 ball well this season.

On paper the pistons have a complete basketball team, but there hasn't been a single game yet where even 80% of their roster was available to play.

In an alternative universe, the Celtics don't lose 101-88 in game 7 and they end up beating the Heat instead.

In 2012, Celtics still had their main guys, KG, Allen, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo. While their core was getting older, they still had a solid season and were one game away from the nba finals.

Could the Celtics take down the Thunder that year? The old guys vs the young guys of Westbrook, KD, and then Harden who wasn't in his prime yet.

How would this series go?
