This is completely out of control...

The Jalen Duren contract situation is getting completely out of control as a new report revealed where Langdon and the Pistons new offer for the all-star big currently stands and another report revealing how Jalen Duren and his camp answered back after Langdon increased the value. We're gonna break down everything you need to know on this new report coming through on how much the Pistons are truly offering Jalen Duren and how him and his camp responded to this new offer. We're gonna break down all this and so much more in this episode you're not gonna want to miss it so let's just dive straight into it today where of course the Detroit Pistons are still in the standoff with Jalen Duren where Langdon and company are trying to get their all-nba and all-star big locked up to a contract and not into the qualifying offer that new reports are starting to show. Now with the Pistons there's multiple new reports the first one from Vincent Goodwill diving into the Pistons believe they sent Jalen Duren a fair offer considering the totality of last season including his underwhelming playoff showing while Duren feels like he checked off all the boxes to get more. Now of course we know from the earlier reports starting this summer that Jalen Duren and his camp have been standing pat at the 40 million mark when it comes to its average earnings per season the Detroit Pistons started about the 30 million range with an increased offer continuing on as the summer goes but now the new reports coming through with Sam Amick speaking on the situation Duren is seeking at least 200 million dollars the talks have stalled in the recent weeks before then it seems that their two sides were making progress now with both sides of course we know Langdon and the Pistons have made it very clear they're not looking at doing a signing trade we've seen the offers coming in from multiple players including starting with the Sacramento Kings which we have a brand new report on that we'll dive into later in this episode headlined by DeMontis Sabonis who's also not getting a contract extension with the Kings but now the new report coming through with the Pistons and their newest offer we see per league sources Detroit's last offer was five years deal in the 190 million dollar range Duren who's eligible to receive a five-year 287 million dollar contract is seeking at least 200 million both sides are continuously pushing and Jalen Duren's camp are standing tall but before we get into even more reports on the situation and how things are taking a shocking turn do you want to give a shout out to the sponsor of the video today which is Kelshi on Kelshi 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 outcome of events from sports politics and even the weather for example you can trade on multiple things when it comes to Kelshi including our Detroit Pistons will the Pistons win the conference number one see trading yes on this nets you 235 dollars and 10 cents when you trade 25 dollars but if you wanted to go even farther than that the bigger picture of things with the Pistons you can trade yes or no on the Pistons winning the conference championship and going on to the NBA finals 25 dollars on this trading would win you 293 dollars and 50 cents

multiple sorts politics the weather anything you can find right there on Kelsey bullets continue on with of course the big picture of what is happening with Jalen Dern so with these reports coming out that the Pistons have increased to 190 million dollars this lends them about the 38 million AAB deal for Jalen Dern and his camp but again they're not budging off that 40 million dollars now taking the qualifying offer you need to sign a max contract to even come back and get that extra 38 million dollars that him and his camp would be turning up but again going into this now there's even more teams being linked to Jalen Dern and another team that we know has been there from the very start there's one team in particular that appears perfectly positioned to pluck Jalen Dern if he should become available next summer the Sacramento Kings as the Athletic reported in early July when Dern began hiking meetings with other teams as a restrictive free agent is interested in playing elsewhere the Kings were at the front of the line now we know Jalen Dern had meetings with a couple of teams that started with the Sacramento Kings that were dead set at the front of the line which started this bonus for Jalen Dern talks but then it also was the LA Kings who ended up going a different route and trading for Walker Kessler signing him to I believe is about 32 million dollars this is now a player where things are getting interesting looking at the for example a team that currently has a lot of cash coming off the books over the next couple of seasons Devonta Savonis is on the trade block so that frees up another 45 million dollars there but when looking at the contracts coming off Zach Levine's 49 million dollars DeAndre Hunter's 25 million dollars these are players that are coming off an expiring deal which opens up a full new a check for them to sign to bring in other guys and again it lines up right with Jalen Dern if a qualifying offer comes through and you want to go to a team like the Sacramento Kings they're going to pay out of the buck to get this guy within their team to be relevant to add players to a young core that they're hoping to build into a championship which is not going to happen but looking at this even NBA players and former players are speaking out Darren Williams Raymond Felton Charlie V and Theo Pinson warned Jalen Dern against a contract standoff with Detroit as he's yet to sign with the franchise during their podcast they said it's hard to pass up 35 million a year I don't think it's very smart I don't think you turned down that money we're trying to be real with them about this you are going to make 150 million dollars in your 22 you want to go to the kings who are bottom dwellers over the pistons this is a real quote and coming through even when you had Draymond Green speaking on that situation as well the man spoke out about how Kaminga did exactly this with the Warriors turning down 25 million dollars because he wanted to get into a new environment and what did that lead to him signing for less than 10 million dollars a season for two years with the player option when it came to the Minnesota Timberwolves we seen Draymond speak this is one of the things to talk about Kaminga they're like oh you want to be traded out of there like yeah I understand things aren't going great but when you do that you're no longer have the covering of who's in the organization that feels great that got you drafted here also Dern has to be aware of this when he presses that button again Draymond Green Darren Williams Charlie V Raymond Felton all these guys are warning Jalen Dern and his camp on how they're handling this and fans again I want your opinion on this we know there's a lot of talks we see Sabonis being popped up quite a bit from multiple insiders going into they want to do a sign and trade but Detroit's not going to do that we know that the offer started about 35 million dollars but with the new reports they've bumped this up to 38 million dollars I'm going to make it very clear if I'm Langdon in this situation do not budge off that 38 million dollars I want Jalen Dern within this organization a guy that has been big of course a very disappointing playoff run when it came to the first round versus Orlando and then pushed straight into the second round versus the Cavs but Jalen Dern at 22 years old has so much room to not only grow but value for this franchise at some point one of these sides are going to break and I truly don't think it's going to be Langdon as again you've started at the 30 million dollars you've worked your way up to 38 and with both sides looking at Langdon has been the most lenient when it said hey I'm going to increase this offer to 35 you jump from 35 plus 3 million to get to 38 and Jalen Dern and his camp are still dead set standing at 200 million dollars if I'm Trajan Langdon again I would not budge off this offer fans I want to know your thoughts down in the comments would you jump up to 40 million dollars for Jalen Dern are you looking at the possibility of a sign and trade from him to a new organization maybe it's for maybe it's for draft capital to go out and acquire a young center let me know your thoughts down in the comments because this situation I agree is getting very tiring but at the end of the day these new reports show the Pistons are trying their best and their stubbornness coming from the Jalen Dern camp let me know your thoughts I've been your host Mark Byee go enjoy basketball and I'll see you in the next one.
