We get a shocking new report surrounding Jalen Duren and his next contract as Marc Stein revealed
a key detail coming from Duren's camp that forces Langdon and the Pistons into a corner that they
don't know how to get out of. We're gonna break down everything you need to know on this report
coming from Marc Stein how it shows the terrifying reality of the current contract standoff and
Pistons fans were worried this would get to the point. We're gonna break down everything you need
to know on all these reports plus so much more so let's just dive straight into it today where of
course Jalen Duren is still not signed by the Pistons as the days are counting down till the
start of the season and Langdon still has not figured out what to do with his All-NBA and
which stems straight into the reports coming from Marc Stein today a brand new breaking report where
he talked on multiple things a light late night NBA Intel in September speaking on everything he's
hearing around the league and he goes straight in to speak about Jalen Duren and his camp
revealing a terrifying reality for not only the Pistons but us as fans. Duren is increasingly
prepared to play out the coming season on his 9.6 million dollar qualifying offer with the intent
to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. Now of course with Jalen Duren we'd still have him
on the team for this upcoming season but Marc Stein dives even farther into it and speaks.
One source briefed on the process says Duren is increasingly prepared to play out the coming
season on the 9.6 qualifying offer if no deal is materialized by the Pistons by the end of
September. Now of course with Jalen Duren and the fear of losing the big next year in free agency
for absolutely nothing this backs Langdon and the Pistons into the corner looking at the possibility
of now trading Jalen Duren their second best player or third depending on how you feel about
but speaking on trading I do want to give a huge shout out to the sponsor of today's video
which is Kalshi. On Kalshi you're trading directly against other users and not the
house like the traditional sports book. You're buying yes or no contracts on the outcomes of
sports politics or even the weather. Diving into some of this you can trade on multiple things
including our Detroit Pistons. The first one you can trade on of course with multiple different
things you can pick Boston versus Detroit for the season opener. Trading $25 on the Pistons
winning this game nets you $44.85 but you can trade on even more and futures as you can look
at the Pistons and their chance to win the 2027 NBA championship which dwindles a bit if Jalen
Duren's leaving but trading $25 on this gets you $780.33. Kalshi has so many things to trade on
and the best thing is if you're interested in trying Kalshi use the link in the description
trade $25 with code NBA Digest on your screen right there and new users get $25 added to your
account instantly so you can trade on the Pistons winning the first game and take that $25. Do
immediately trade on the Pistons winning the championship. Once again a huge shout out to
Kalshi and if you want to check them out use the link in the description and again they're doing
incredible stuff over there but let's continue on with the news. Now looking at Jalen Duren
and of course this with the new report coming up from Mark Sine a very trusted source that
has his ear to the ground when it comes to a lot of things around the NBA. This is genuinely a
terrifying thing to see of course we've seen reports floating around coming from Brett Siegel
speaking on the fact that Duren and his camp don't necessarily want to be in Detroit long term
because they do not feel valued. This report with the contract talks that we're seeing from Mark
Stein and the fact that the Pistons and Jalen Duren are still just about over five million
dollars off when it comes to contract talks. This is now getting to a point where we're looking at
the possibility once again of moving on from Jalen Duren. If this is a big man that ends up
taking the qualifying offer there's no way in hell that we could see Langdon keep this player keep
him throughout the entire season and not move them heading into the deadline as again losing
Jalen Duren for absolutely nothing is not even a thought process not something that you can even
think about. You need to trade Jalen Duren if he's genuinely one not committed to this team
two the offers are there and he's still not budging or if he takes that qualifying offer because again
not only is Jalen Duren and his camp looking at this and saying we don't want to take that 35
million dollars there's no way in hell we'd do it there's so many more reports coming out that
there's teams legitimately lining up we already know the Sacramento Kings wanted to do a sign
and trade between DeMontis Sabonis and Jalen Duren. We're seeing the interesting thing now
where Jalen Duren now sits there's suddenly a very obvious 2027 free agency bid in the LA Clippers
that just has a hammer throwing at them for of course all their sponsorships with Kawhi Leonard
that is a team that wants to spend their money to get back into contention and to continue being
good as they have no draft capital over the next five seasons or an owner for the next year as he
suspended as well but again going back to just what Merck Stein said and when looking at where the
Pistons currently sit where they're heading into the season with inspiration to win a championship
if he genuinely does take that qualifying offer and again going into Brett Siegel who's saying
that his camp are not or don't necessarily want to be in Detroit long term you need to trade this
guy and it's not that I want to trade Jalen Duren because going into again what we've seen in the
regular season 19 and a half points per game 10 and a half rebounds a guy that was a menace to
this was because or mostly because a lot of players were injured and didn't hit the criteria
but Jalen Duren is an all-star an all-nba a starting caliber young center in the NBA and
moving on from him for absolutely nothing in free agency it just doesn't work this would set the
Pistons back such long term I mean we've seen comments coming out from even Brian Windhorst
speaking on the Kings don't have interest in extending DeMontis Sabonis we can go into even
more reports where teams are definitely in and want them the thing is now is the Pistons willing
to move off from Jalen Duren to bring in DeMontis Sabonis if that sign and trade offer is still
there does Sabonis pull the needle for the Pistons enough to get them over the hump or get them to a
championship it gets interesting again when you're looking at Duren wanting 40 million dollars and if
you get Sabonis you're paying the big man 45 million dollars this season 48.6 this season after
fans things are starting to get shockingly worrying when it comes to the Pistons I know
so many people have spoke out about it Draymond Green had a lot of quotes when it came to Jalen
Duren and warning him about the fact that this happened with Kaminga leaving the team you push
what you do or how you're doing as long as you're producing this is a guy that could turn down
generational wealth heading into the season because him and his camp don't want to budge
off that 40 million dollars fans I want to know your thoughts on everything to do around the
Pistons from what's currently happening with Jalen Duren is this on Langdon for not extending him
last offseason what is your thoughts on Asara's next contract another player that has to be signed
though of course you still have the full season but you don't want to rehab of what is currently
happening fans let me know your thoughts down in the comments on everything to do around the
Pistons because I understand it's getting tiring talking about Jalen Duren but this new report
does leave a sour taste in my mouth fans let me know your thoughts
go Detroit basketball and I'll see you in the next one
