James Edwards

And then there's a Sarton.

Like we're talking about guys who are hard nose, play your ass off, but we're not talking about like 30, 40 point per game scores, right?

His second best player last year in their, in their postseason was Malik Beasley.

So for all the reasons we're trying to find out why the Pistons aren't the best team in the East or in the NBA, it kind of, to me, also proves Cade's point as why he's probably the MVP.

Again, it's between him, Jokic, and Shea to me.

And I think what Cade's doing, if they finish with the best record in the NBA, I don't see how he doesn't get it.

So I have a funny story with that.

When he got drafted, as you guys know, I don't know if everybody listens, I covered the Pistons for seven years.

I've been away for a year and a half, but I was there for Cade's first three and a half, three or four years.

When they drafted him, the front office, somebody in the front office told me he's going to be the first American born MVP.

It was direct words from one of the people who were involved in drafting him and drafting others and all this stuff.

So, yeah, people want to say Anthony Edwards.

People want to say Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, Jalen Brunson.

Cade has as strong a case as anybody, obviously, right?

Like his team is sitting at the top of the ladder reaching for the belt, right?

How do they lose?

I know Knicks fans probably don't believe this.

They're not a good three-point shooting team, except when they play the Knicks.

They have a magnet ball against the Knicks.

Javante Green gets it going.
