I know this might be a bad take, but from watching a lot of the pistons this year, it seems like often on offense if they are not on the fastbreak the plan is to give it to Cade and let him initiate the offense. While I think this could work if he develops his skillset a little more to a higher level, a lot of plays where he gets double teamed he often looses the ball or shoots a shot that no offense he should not be shooting. I think the team would look a lot better if they played with more ball movement, I know that’s easier said than done considering the lack of shooters on the team, I think often time the best the team looks is when they are all sharing the ball. Rather than when Cade has an Iso or a pick and roll with Duren, but maybe I am being a bit to reactionary to the losing streak I’m not really sure.

    This is my take. We aren’t going to lose more games by taking some of the pressure off of him. Maybe he just needs some perspective or something but I very much think taking the ball out of his hands a bit is the right move at this point.

    We were a better team last year without him so it won’t hurt that bad and at best could really help straighten his head out.
