I think when we saw Cade with Team USA he definitely looks like a guy who can be a star.

yeah, but at least for me it was his defense that would put him over the top. that has yet to show up in the nba, especially this season. his offense today looks like the most likely outcome from his predraft days.

The Nuggets got so bored of beating the Clippers with Nuggets players that they decided to beat them with Clippers players.

Poole and Kuzma are living the dream. They both already have title rings and are well compensated on a team going nowhere. Every day they can go out there and just play Washington Generals basketball.

The Generals play to win; they are just hopelessly outmatched. These two play more like a parody of the Globetrotters.

I am actually stunned how bad Poole has been. I thought he could be, at least, a microwave scorer off the bench for the right team. Right now I’m not sure he’ll be in the league after his contract is up.

He absolutely could be a reasonably decent scoring role player in some capacity but he absolutely thinks he's the next Steph so yeah, he's going the way of the Jimmer.

If Kuzma was free I think most teams would take him. I dunno about Poole.

Cade is a star caliber player for sure but on the low tier end definitely not a superstar which is why he's not willing these pistons to near .500. The pistons not having enough players who can score vs the wizards is so absurd and disgusting I don't know what you can really say about him.

Jordan Poole is perfect the wizards have to let him cook all year

I’ve said it before, but Poole lobbing that oop off the glass to kuzma down 21 while the crowd rains down boos is a perfect snapshot of the 23-24 wizards and it’s amazing they got there on like the 4th day of the season.

Like, big picture it’s not even that outrageous, but it just completely captures the teams energy. The only way it could have been better is if he got denied by the rim.

We are probably a week out from Poole stopping mid game to leave with some instagram baddie sitting court side

Pistons were one shot away from being 3-0 with two dominating wins out of the gate. Then injuries really started to pile up and now they clearly have a lot more than just personnel issues going on.

Poole is clearly some level of NBA player and will get an offer to keep playing for the Wizards, I just think that if it's not a max contract or some insane sweethart deal he'll reject it expecting some other team to swoop in and build a team around him, likely ending up a free agent and then getting the kind of offers that a good 6th man bench player would get.

Wait, the pistons' two wins were the first two games of the year? And they haven't won since? Ouch

Second and third game of the year. They opened by coming back from down 19 to Miami and had the last shot of the game down 1.

If the NBA had said up front that the in season tournament was going to harness the combined powers of Charles Barkley and Stephen A Smith nobody would have doubted the idea

Anytime I see a video with Charles Barkley I watch it.
And this one has Kenny to instigate, Shaq to follow up. And Stephen A Smith is there to bring his beautiful big ego and manipulative argument tactics.

I cant wait.
