If the submerging Thunder can just keep losing….it isn’t a stretch to visualize Cade wearing Thunder blue next season.
Presti has a combined thirty-four first and second round draft picks thru 2027. This isn’t the time to be shy. It’s time to monetize some of those picks into making the Thunder relevant again.
For me…it’s Cade 1, Evan Mobley 2, and then Jalen Suggs 3.
But Cade has it all with size, body shape, BBIQ smarts, adaptability, maturity, skill set….. the whole nine yards.
He does everything well and could conceivably play every position 1-5 on any given night depending on the opponent. He reminds me a litle bit of Magic in this regard.
The major gripe I had with Cade this season was that he wasn’t assertive enough at times when he should have had the ball in his hands.
I think he would fit beautifully with Shai and Lu in a three headed guard lineup of sorts.
The question I’m asking myself is whether I would give up either Shai or Lu in a package to get Cade if OKC could get Jalen Suggs without trading either of these players?
Anotherwords…with Suggs being the third guard is the Thunder as intriguing as they would be with Cade, Shai and Lu together?
Anyway….here’s a day in the life this past basketball season with Cade Cunningham.
Surely…with all these picks at his disposal—Presti can outwit the clueless simpletons who run the TWolves, Pistons, and Orlando Magic. Best trade Presti ever made was that Serge deal to Orlando. I would think the little troll Justin from Daily Thunder could outflank those three pathetic organizations.
I know some compare Cade to Grant Hill, but I don’t buy into that all so much.
He’s Cade Cunningham is who he is—the best prospect in the country.
Hopefully…Lu D comes up sore tomorrow and can’t go against the Raptors who have a modest two game win streak in play heading into Sunday evening’s game.
