So let's just dive straight into it. Now Brett Siegel came out and I know there's so many reports surrounding Jalen Duren but he goes into safe. The Pistons want to bring back Jalen Duren and they want to do it on their terms. Go contract somewhere in the 30 to 35 million range. Duren wants more. He wants something north of 40 million annually. Now looking at this, we've seen a lot of reports surrounding Duren and his camp wanting 40 million dollars but diving into the second report coming from Brett Siegel saying Duren and his camp don't necessarily want to be in Detroit long term because they do not feel valued. Now this is the scariest thing that can happen. Of course both sides, this contract negotiation we've seen reports saying as far as they've gotten nasty, these negotiations are both sides explaining why Jalen Duren is not worth money, his side saying why he is and I do understand why Langdon is being hesitant after a poor playoff to extend Jalen Duren to the 40 plus million dollars he's looking for but now with the reports coming out that he doesn't feel value and that there's reports that he doesn't necessarily want to be in Detroit long term, it opens up a terrifying reality for both sides where now you have to navigate if this is a sign and trade going in with the qualifying offer.

Now diving farther into this of course there's so many things coming around we know yesterday Shands announced that Ahmed Thompson signed this $40 million contract extending him with the rookie scale for five seasons to stay with the Rockets and even looking at Durant reporting to launch 40 years from the Pistons and has been rejecting offers at 35. Now with players signing these big deals like Ahmed Thompson that just extended and locked up that $40 million deal it's hard for this camp to look any different and I don't blame Jalen Durant for wanting the bag but again Langdon has stretched this out and Jalen Durant's camp has done the same thing strategic on their side but now with this you have other options and other ways where they can look and say hey Ahmed Thompson just got $40 million we just uh we just want the exact amount now the biggest thing with Jalen Durant regular season is looking at this was a player that was absolutely dominant the 19.5 and 10.5 points that he put up just last year during the regular season this was a guy that was on par to getting 40 plus million dollars a dominant force in the paint and of course almost a steal on the block a game the blocks could have been higher a little fun fact looking at this Reed Shepard just had about five less blocks than Jalen Durant on the season played a little more games with so Reed Shepard's only six foot two this is a guy that was dominant when it came to the regular season jumping straight into the playoffs this is where the numbers started to stretch in the favor of the Pissons getting them for less of course the numbers did drop quite a bit but the biggest thing with Jalen Durant and the way his camp is now looking at this this is a guy that's still young and can continue to grow but with the reports coming out from Brett Siegel saying that they don't necessarily want to be in Detroit long term that the fact that for 40 million dollars and he is not budging off that dollar amount now when you're Langdon you're looking at a world of how do you navigate this world where the cap of course is going to continue to rise Kate Cunningham at 50 million dollars Sarah Thompson can sign an extension this offseason which would sign him into the following season where maybe you're looking at Sarah Thompson and Kate Cunningham combined for over 80 million dollars you add in Jalen Durant you're up to 120 this is where things get terrifying when you're now looking at the first apron the second apron look at the Denver Nuggets that is stuck in the second apron losing guys like Peyton Watson for virtually nothing in a window where Jokic is one of the most dominant players in the NBA and you're losing legitimate talent because of the cap structure this is a team that again has to worry do you think this contract Jalen Durant even more committed to his 40 million speaking on a men you have other people talking about Jalen Durant now sits where there's suddenly a very obvious 2027 free agency fit the Clippers that is obviously motivated to overpay if the Pitsons can't find a middle ground a team that just got stripped of five first round picks their owner suspended for a year Kawhi Leonard's gone to the Raptors making the East even harder but there are teams that are willing to throw money at Jalen Durant this offseason of course not but with this team and you're starting to look at how things are unfolding it starts to get scary in the sense of how does Trajan Langdon fully work this out the qualifying offer Jalen Durant will not sign it'd be idiotic for a guy to take under 10 million dollars risk maybe an injury maybe a bad season where he makes less money but if he's truly not budging off that 35 million range and he wants that 40 his camp truly doesn't want him here you need to start looking at the long term of this team and how to navigate it again looking from Brett Siegel and I understand the reports are conflicting they constantly keep pushing through but this one in particular if it is true you need to start looking at maybe a signing trade which is ridiculous to say a once fan favorite and I'm still a massive fan of Jalen Durant I understand a lot of people are very upset me to Detroit fans sucked right now Dylan Larkin wants out of the Red Wings and you have Jalen Durant reportedly wanting out and not necessarily happy things are starting to get weird but fans let me know your thoughts in the comments would you trade Jalen Durant what is your thoughts on the situation what is the max dollar amount you would give them let me know your thoughts down in the comments that's been it for this episode hope you guys enjoy it hit that subscribe button we're on the goal to 3,000 subscribers go Detroit basketball and I'll see you in the next one
