I hope it help changes the mind set of some fans that think the way to develop a young player is to put him on the court and tank, let him play through stupid mistakes.

Without veteran leadership, there is no development

Without a winning environment, there is no development

And Without Cade theres no championship so whats your point?

Still dreaming of a top pick, and then posting conspiracy theories when we drop in the draft every single time.

So what should we do now the we have an official All star/Leader on the roster that we didn't draft?

Should we trade him and TANK for Cade since we are not title contenders

We would all love Cade, but it's not like he's having some crazy season. He doesn't seem to be a world beater.

He's probably a very good prospect, but not worth sacrificing an entire season for

ESPN had an interesting article on him. They aren't sure if he's an actually PG or a playmaking wing. They basically said on the high end he becomes a poor man's Doncic, and on the low end he probably ends up closer to a Khris Middleton type prospect. They felt like if he falls somewhere in between that outcome he's well worth the 1st overall pick, but may not be a franchise-altering player. Obviously he would be awesome to have, and this draft is going to generate some stars. I still wonder where Barrett would fall in a draft like this after his strong season at Duke.

Yeah, funny thing is that's similar to the projection they gave Luka going into his draft. Cade's shot creation, efficiency and playmaking for his age are absolutely something to write about. They crap on RJs freshman year #s. As for where RJ would fall in this draft, I'd say #6. He would've hada legit shot at #1 last year, but this year is too tough. Personally, I have Kuminga number 5 and I would still take him 10/10 over RJ.

Not sure who craps on RJ's freshman stats, he was pretty dominant. I have a hard time believing coming out from that year he would go behind Suggs and both NBDL guys. Seems like there's still a lot of question marks with this top 5, although all of them are obviously great prospects. But Barrett broke ACC freshman records at Duke.

Randle's physical profile is the best part. Very few people in the league can deal with his combo of size, quickness and power. Now he's really integrating some next level skills and he's taking off.

He's gonna get paid. The point is to use the space now to build this up before we need to and happily will max him out after next year

ITs a tough call. I like the kid but we don’t know Leon or Thibs view. Maybe we trade him. Can’t say for whom but he is an asset we control for now. We can’t lowball and offend him but at the same time he has to ascertain his value and if he wants max money or does he want to be here with a somewhat lower price. HE knows he can be traded, He knows it a business and he knows the deal. Hopefully a happy compromise can be seen.
THere is a reality we have seen where he cannot physically dominate every team. Milwaukee showed him up. Not just Giannis. He is not a max dude but that is rare air and I’m not trying to tear him down. He is not Lebron, AD, Gianiss, Luka, Dame, Curry, Durant, Harden..........I’m sure I’m leaving out others who are max.
That is also a different kind of max money i realize.
I like him and want to keep him. He is also an asset and thats a reason to keep him too!

Let's rewind. It's our glorious 2012-13 season when Melo took us to the second round. Our recent refuge. And it's the second round against the the Pacers. And Melo is getting completely shut down and sonned by what's his face. That center they had. That supposedly went "straight up" when mauling him. No calls. Randle, like Melo, might be fighting refs the rest of his career. :(
