1. One day Cade…come join Flagg lol

2. Come home bb

3. make it happen

4. While I’d never wish for another fanbase to have to experience their version of a Luka trade, I do hope that Cade can be a Mav one day.

   Dude throws out the first pitch at Rangers games, roots for the Cowboys against the Lions on national TV, and is a massive Dirk fanboy.

   Alas, maybe one day lol.

5. Praying Detroit fucks it up somehow and Cade demands a trade to Dallas

6. Mark my words, he will come home at some point.

7. Big fan of Cade. I really enjoy watching the Pistons this year, they’re very fun and hope they make noise in the East.

8. 

9. i dont want to be one of those fans but shit if it doesnt work out up there… come on down brother

10. I would love for him to answer honestly what he thought about the Nico trade and the ownership. He was still a Mavericks fan even while playing.

11. Tyrese Maxey is also a local guy who was a big Mavs fan. Wanted to come here. We drafted Josh Green instead because Cuban was allergic to local guys.

    Maybe Cade was good enough to overcome that bias, but I don’t know. Cuban seemed to really not give local guys the time of day and even actively feuded with a ton who were from the area or lived in the area.

    Like he famously blew off prime DWill when he was a free agent who wanted to come here.

12. Cade does have a resemblance to Dirk.
