Short hand: Whew!
Long hand: I love being a fan, as while I have always been 10 toes down on SGA and rushed into every “TRADE SGA AND DORT FOR…” thread of that time with gasoline draws on…I’m sure somewhere I made a post of how Baze was going to be a quality starter on our team for years to come.
Fans be fans. That stretch of time though was unbearable and I hope all who were “fading for Cade” can at least admit that :)
Pistons are ass cheeks and have young players that would easily complement the Thunder alongside all other 28 teams. They legit play like baby poop and have a head coach who got that MSU football bag. I wouldn’t want anyone to know at this point that Troy Weaver came from the Presti tree…
Cade also just looks…slow. Dunno if its due to the lingering injury but for sure “it don’t look good”.
So many fans (not just Thunder fans) forget that guys come into the NBA with a lot of room to improve and that even the best prospects are usually 1 or 2 seasons away from being a positive contributing player on a winning team. Patience is almost always better than panic trades. There are no development shortcuts.
