About this episode
The episode discusses the latest contract news for Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson, along with the Pistons' trade market activities.
Today on the Pistons Talk Podcast, we break down the latest Detroit Pistons contract news surrounding Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson. The Pistons remain confident they will reach a long-term agreement with Duren despite limited progress in negotiations. We discuss Duren’s shrinking market, his conversations with the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings, Detroit’s reluctance to facilitate a sign-and-trade and the possibility of accepting his $9.6 million qualifying offer. We also examine Ausar Thompson’s future in Detroit. Once Duren’s contract is finalized, the Pistons reportedly want to sign Thompson to a long-term extension and view him as one of the franchise’s core pillars. Finally, we discuss Detroit’s activity in the trade market. The Pistons explored several big-name possibilities, including Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Trey Murphy III and Austin Reaves, but determined the asking prices were too expensive. We also evaluate Detroit’s offseason additions of Isaiah Joe, Taurean Prince, John Collins and Gary Harris. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
