BREAKING: This is an absolute STEAL... Pistons make HUGE Move

This is an absolute steal for the Detroit Pittsons as we get a breaking report that not only did they extend a young all-defensive player but one of the highest rising young stars within the league. We're gonna break down everything you need to know on this major contract. The Detroit Pittsons just give to a Sarah Thompson what it means moving forward for this organization and the implications this has on Jalen Dern as the big is still not signed. We're gonna break down all this plus so much more so let's just dive straight into it where we got a breaking report coming from Shams revealing that the Detroit Pittsons just extended a Sarah Thompson to a five-year 155 million dollar rookie scale contract keeping him with this organization for five years after this season coming up as he's still under contract. Now looking at the Sarah Thompson and what he brings to this organization not only one of the best defensive players in the league debatably the best defensive player and the best all-around performer when it comes to the perimeter and interior as Sarah Thompson gets locked up on this new deal and diving into the details coming from Shams Thompson lands the fully guaranteed extension after finishing third place in defensive player of the year last season leading the NBA in steals per game and posting the third most combined steals and blocks at 215 he is one of the three players with at least 300 steals and 100 blocks since entering the NBA with the fifth overall pick at the end of it as Sarah Thompson is committed and locked up to this organization unlike one person at the given moment but seeing this contract shows a lot of things about this organization after reports came out that their main priority was the next step but before we even dive into Durant just looking at him landing the guaranteed this is a young poised star that's going to end up turning heads and the NBA is going to be terrified that the Pistons even got him in on the steal of this contract but before we dive into more reports surrounding Sarah Thompson and what this means for the organization wanted to give a huge to the sponsor of today's video which is Kelshi on Kelshi you're trading directly

end of the season once again if you want to check out Kelshi use the link down in the description and a huge shout out to them today for sponsoring the video now diving into a Sarah Thompson the best part is again a five-year rookie guaranteed puts a star within this organization for the next six years as still on his one-year deal at $11.1 million with this new contract kicking in making him the second highest paid guy within this team at $31 million roughly per season just behind Cade Cunningham but again it's going to get interesting on how this team truly works out how to manage this cap of the stars big extension with Jalen Duren coming up and the fact that they're hoping that he takes the next step now we can see from Brett Siegel reported with Tommer at the start of September that a new extension for Sarah Thompson would likely fall between 25 and 32 mil annually regardless of the Jalen Duren negotiations Detroit gets him locked in at five years 155 mil an avv of 31 million good for both sides now of course looking at this and the reports coming through there's an important question on which player Detroit values more one that will play out publicly if a Sarah inks an extension shortly after Duren's deal is completed a quote from a month ago coming from John Hollinger which led to of course a Sarah Thompson getting the contract first and a bit of a deadline set between Jalen Duren and this team before camp opens up but diving back into a Sarah because again this is the main topic and the biggest story around this team right now is the fact that a Sarah Thompson who got 10 million dollars less than his brother of men is with this organization and is going to be a major part of not only them pushing and hoping to repeat that 60 points or win season that we seen last year but the improvement of a Sarah Thompson and what he continues to add to his game which of course shooting is a big one where we 0% from the other corners 60% from mid and decently efficient when it comes to the rim as Sarah Thompson is known of course on the far left his defensive game when looking at 6 feet out 10 feet out or 15 feet out sitting in the lead percentile on both of these an elite mid-range shooter seen in the 91st percentile this is going to be a player that taking the next step on his offensive game is going to show that not only is this contract for a defensive player of the year caliber player is worth it but if a Sarah Thompson can start hitting down his mid-range shots even continuously growing his three-point game where he shot 25% from three last season 52 from the field and capped off his season with 10 points 6 rebounds 3 assists 2 steals per game and a block but the difference between a Sarah Thompson taking this next step and showing that the Pistons locked up one of if not the best contracts in the NBA is the continuous growth from the offensive end now Sarah Thompson again when looking at the shooting it does progress every season taking two attempts in his rookie year shooting 19% 22% last year on one attempt per game half an attempt to game the last season story 25% but looking at the field goal percentage hovering around the same as of course the 64% on less attempts per game but as Sarah Thompson now going out is going to be a make or break player within this organization and especially with the fact when you're looking at a cap role where teams are starting to get worried Trajan Langdon spoke on this just a couple of days ago as well where teams are looking at that second apron and in fear of being locked against the cap like the Denver Nuggets are doing but the biggest thing is you have Cade locked up you're adding the Sarah Thompson at market value and this is before the explosive offensive game is eventually going to kick out this is a team that has positioned themselves in the perfect spot to continue adding to this team again that doesn't kick in if you want to go out and add a 30 million dollar player on a one-year rental deal again a Sarah Thompson as you can see does not kick in until the 27-28 season so Trajan Langdon has room to work with but of course it all falls back onto how Jalen Duren's rest of his contract talks pan out and again with him not signed to this team and with people speculating that both sides are disgruntled with the process it does leave a worry that if Langdon pivoted from to Jalen Duren that has a ticking time limit all the way to a Sarah Thompson it's going to get interesting on how that pans up of things I want to know your thoughts what is your thoughts on this contract because again locking this up it's a steal of a deal this is going to age like fine wine what is your guys thoughts on a Sarah Thompson's new deal what is your thoughts on Jalen Duren because of course that's the lingering question within this organization let me know your thoughts down in the comments because I can't wait to wait to read through each and every one of them I've been I hope you guys enjoyed go Detroit basketball and we'll see you in the next one
