It happened to us in 2020 when everything was Randle centric. It happened to us last year when it was Brunson-centric - however having Hartenstein to pair with him helped us, and Brunson was smarter and more seasoned.

Pistons will go through a learning curve with Cade. Maybe he's already up for the challenge? He's a great player. The rest of the roster is overachieving because of his greatness. Can they keep it going in a playoff format? 2020 Knicks learned otherwise and these Pistons might too. But they have a lot of hope for the future. What Cade needed was a long run of consistent help. He had the tools and he's fulfilling his promise. He will be a top 10 NBA player.

I think the underlying reason that the Knicks moved DDV/Randle for KAT was that KAT can be a focal point of offense in a way Randle may not have been as consistent or threatening for defenses, give or take. These would obviously be other reasons too.

Knicks still need a secondary ball handler IMO.

Agree...also think a big point is KAT either shoots from deep or drive - he doesn't hold the ball and makes quicker decisions vs Randle

Yep, elite spacer. But poor defender.

I think they knew about the defense of KAT and why we saw them furiously hunt for C's to trade for knowing Mitch would be out and that's all they had.

5-out with rim defense was probably never a real option.

Don't care. Wish them the best. In Randles case it's going to last until the first mental breakdown. Is it going to be in the regular season? Playoffs? Not really a question of if but a question of when. Mental midget

Divo I don't have a problem with. He did voice displeasure coming off the bench tho after we got Bridges. So there is that.

Had no idea Penny was this athletic. I was so young back in these days so was not paying attention to the NCAA. Now I see why Shaq told his FO to make sure they draft him.

I don’t watch a ton of college ball but remember watching some highlights or games back in the day. He was so good.

But for the knees

I saw a stat where he had like 150 more free throwa than Brunson but he is about to steal an MVP and Brunson is a master of the dark arts as Windy said.
