Monty was really really bad.
I read their boards around the TDL and most were waffling around trading Cade and restarting totally again with a #1 this draft. The other half were content with Cade+Duren as a starting point and to work around the edges trading the vets. Detroit somehow didn't do any of that at the TDL. I think more than likely they blow it up by trading Cade and tank for Cooper Flagg next year.
If the goal for next season is to tank, all the right pieces were already in place
They don't need to trade Cade to have a tanking season (or pay gazillion to Monty to make him dissapear). I think it is more likely they want to make a Houston like move, to finally have a somewhat positive season.I think biggest dissagreement with Monty could be Ivey, who was a back-up to "out of league Hayes" for most of the season. I think Cade, Duren, Ivey and Thompson is their core to build around. Those guys imho need a good PG (doubt Cade is it) and a PF who can shoot.
Interesting question: is there a place for Stewart in the new vision?
