This would be a championship team
Havenāt seen it anywhere here, but the Pistons picked up a 2nd-round pick for cash and drafted a shot-blocking 7-footer without much offense. But gives them a 3rd center behind Duren and Reed after dealing Beef Stew.
That is a strong statement when they are losing a guy that averaged 4 points per game in the playoffs.
.
Hegonna need to get them heavy feet movin if hegonna stick
So, on a 36 minute basis, he averages 5.8 blocks per game. You hear that Wemby?
Ugonna bet against him?
I like him. Mutombo 2.0 - faster and quicker
Plug and play - rim protractor who moves like a wing. Wembley stopper- The Unicorn stopper.
I donāt know the validity of the source but at least itās a talking point to discuss as we wait to see what Langdonās plan is
If itās true Iām encouraged that Langdon isnāt wilting to Durenās demands. The sides will more than likely come to an agreement eventually but itās something interesting to discuss in the meantime.
Given that heās a restricted free agent, Duren literally doesnāt have a choice.
Heās free to try to get a better offer from someone else, but he will be on this team next season.

Also, if this is true, which I donāt think it is, then you have to look at making this part of a deal for Jaylen Brown. Boston wants a center very badly.
Seems unlikely that would happen or we would have kept Stew, no?
Who is the starter at center then. Pistons also as of now dont have a starting pf. And no as much as I love Paul Reed he isnāt a starter.
Feels like Langdon is calling his bluff.
that playoff performance in general was so bad it killed his value.
hard to say if someone does hit him with the Max, but if they doā¦ yeah hes not worth it
I seriously doubt Duren isnāt on this team next season. He has very little leverage in this whole thing.
Lakers could still offer the max to Duren butā¦. yeah that would just kill them and Duren as shown rn aint exactly a playoff performer, even if he fits really well with Luka.
hard to say what he gets, a JB trade is possibleā¦ maybe trade Duren to the Bucks for Herro and Ware?
some options if they do go down this route.
We shall see
Itās most likely posturing and that there will be some resolution that keeps Duren as a Piston but itās interesting that Langdon isnāt bending the knee for Duren. It gives me some hope that he knows what heās doing.
Of course Iāll take all that back if he signs Duren to a $40m+ contract but Iām holding on tight to that optimism until then.
I mean duren has poor judgement he once dated angel reese
Duren and a pick or two for Jaylen Brown solidifies the backcourt for the next several years.
Youāre not getting a MLE center thatās nearly as good as Duren. To get Hartenstein weād need to be a cap space team, which is the wrong way to manage our assets. Youād have a black hole at the 4, weād be taking on more salary in a trade anyway, and youād have much less depth than we had this past season.
I donāt really see a scenario where weāre a better team with Jaylen Brown than with Jalen Duren next seasonā¦because of what that move means for the rest of the roster.
