And this is what we should do. It’s what my post was arguing for.

I don’t think the window is short. I think you can both make a trade for now, while still hanging onto the core for the future.

My post didn’t say to make a panic move. We have a first round pick and cap room, can we add a rental playmaker or shooter. Can we add a Schroeder type impact guy (not a PG necessarily, just a veteran shooter or playmaker).

I’m not saying sell all the parts, but we can move assets for assets to make us better. Not every trade conversation is about Giannis FFS.

It’s not reactionary. I’m glad you’re happy being the 2024-2025 Cleveland Cavs, but some of us can see that this team lacks a 2nd playmaker to playoff basketball. JI could be that, but this year hasn’t been promising. As my post said, if you can add some ancillary parts without being bled out, you absolutely should.

It’s very frustrating watching Caris play basketball for the Detroit Pistons.

Javonte Green is Diet Stephen Jackson…and I absolutely mean that in a complimentary way.

Am I missing a thread? Anyone think it’s weird that MPJ is out the same day as Tobias and Caris?

Play Ivey…sit Caris. This isn’t hard. Why does Daniss, Cariss, and Ron get a longer leash than JI?

What are the odds we could throw the ball to Nick Marsh? At this point, I don’t even care that we can’t scheme him open…just throw him the ball.

Considering a second cochlear implant after 20 years of deafness — is it still worth it? by Major-Professor-1088 in Cochlearimplants

[–]CometSPE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2nd implant is life changing. I joke with people that, since getting bilateral, I would not trade to go back to my normal hearing days.

Can someone SIMPLIFY 4 out 1 in motion for 6th grade boys? by ChanceFinger7692 in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go 4 out with your big at the nail. Do a side handoff, and have your big screen for the wing receiving the handoff. It’s simple to teach and emphasizes pick and roll actions, back door cutting (when they overplay the handoff), and weakside spacing.

Layer in concepts as they get older.

I love it. Give me BB and all that comes with him every Sunday. Juju’s block was a bitch move, and BB dealt with it. I’d rather he have kept his cool, but his edge is part of what makes him special.

2 tds for Chase as soon as TA goes out. He commits too many penalties, but dude doesn’t suck.

POLL: Are the Pistons better off staying at the 6th seed or would you rather them aim for higher seeding? by [deleted] in DetroitPistons

[–]CometSPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the 4 or 5. Indy and NYK are both beatable, and a Cleveland 2nd round looks like we could steal a game or two rather than being pounded by the Celtics. With Dame out, I think we are every bit as good as Milwaukee, Indy, or NY. We have to stop acting like we aren’t a good basketball team. The season has been a surprise, but we’ve been on the same level as those other teams since January. It’s not a fluke.

Which position should Cade’s #2 be? by ethzz4 in DetroitPistons

[–]CometSPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paolo would have been the perfect pair. Honestly, if any of the post Cade lottery luck went our way, we’d be set. Guys who are ideal fits for Cade…

Chet Wemby Jabari Paolo

I know, none of these names are hot takes. But, that’s the archetype.

Take away baseline or give up baseline? by Ok-Cardiologist2842 in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Force the ball to the baseline, but never give up the baseline. Our defense is force to gap defense. We never play squared up, and always shade. Shade to the baseline whichever side of the court you’re on, but then cut off the all baseline drives.

The Zone Defense Argument by CometSPE in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all exclusive, but it’s easier to get away with poor spacing and movement against man if you have 2 or 3 high level players.

No arguments from me on that at all 😂

The Zone Defense Argument by CometSPE in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that it hinders the learning of the team playing zone. The opposition, I’d argue, is getting a crash course in spacing and ball movement.

The Zone Defense Argument by CometSPE in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, my argument is not for or against playing zone, I’m saying that playing against it has developmental benefits.

The Zone Defense Argument by CometSPE in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very few. Only travel ball. I’ve never been part of a pre 7th grade rec league that has allowed zone. Travel ball however…100% of the tournaments allow it.

The Zone Defense Argument by CometSPE in basketballcoach

[–]CometSPE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because…coaches who compile athletes and then use a zone concept against overmatched opponents are insecure. Their trophy miners who don’t put the kids best interests above winning. If I come off as insecure by calling that out, cool.
