Tayshaun Prince’s response to who his ideal starting 5 would be out of all the guys he played with

His answer is obvious but it’s still awesome to hear

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

2 weeks until re-evaluation for Duren.

Don’t want to speculate but you can’t help but wonder if this could’ve been avoided had he not missed camp

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

We don’t need to do this anymore. The contract is signed, the differences are being ironed out. It’s over. We can move on.

The Pistons reportedly told Jalen Duren that he is their fourth-best player during contract negotiations, per @VinceGoodwill

(h/t @Fullcourtpass )

@KuKhahil Dude don’t do that! Age apex for one, plus injury rate and Jeanty’s potential. I’d expect most owners would want multiple 1sts (if dynasty) with CMC at the very least

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

How about a game winner for the rook!

🚨 BREAKING: Jalen Duren has agreed to sign a five-year, $200M fully guaranteed contract to return to the Detroit Pistons 🔥

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

If Duren doesn’t sign the QO by midnight, that’s essentially a white flag from Duren and his camp.

If a player doesn’t sign a QO or extension after their contract expires, they can’t play until they sign one or the other.

Not signing anything by midnight tonight begins a holdout and Duren’s side loses all leverage. Zero chance Duren is okay with not playing for an entire season.

This circumstance would tell us that he will re-sign with DET, and that it’s just a matter of time.

In just, Duren not signing the QO today drastically benefits the Pistons and their chances of retaining him.

Name this former Pistons player 🤔

In one season with the team, this player appeared in 80 games, had 1 start and averaged:

🔹14.2 MPG
🔹5.0 PPG
🔹37.1% 3PT
🔹54.5% TS

🚨 REPORT: The Pistons and Jalen Duren are “at an impasse” and it’s unclear whether Duren will attend Media Day next week.

(Via @ShamsCharania)

This, coming after reports of the Pistons offering Duren a 5yr-$200M contract.

Not good news for Pistons fans.

🚨BREAKING: The Pistons and forward Ausar Thompson have reached an agreement on a five-year, $155M rookie-scale contract extension 🔥

@UnbiasedPiston Not good man. This makes Langdon look really bad

🎥 FILM ROOM: John Collins' Versatile Offense

🔹 Shooting Efficiency: Collins combines elite efficiency with floor spacing, posting a 62.0% eFG - 7th among qualified NBA players and 2nd among power forwards last season. He shot a career-high 40.6% from three, including 43.0% on catch-and-shoot attempts and 45.0% from the left corner, making him an ideal complementary scorer around primary ball handlers.

🔹 Scoring Versatility: He provides more than spot-up 3PT shooting, producing 1.03 points per post-up possession (71st percentile) and shooting 50.8% from mid-range. Collins can punish mismatches and score from multiple levels without needing to dominate possessions.

🔹 Interior Scoring: Collins converted 75.3% of his attempts in the restricted area, combining his athleticism and ability to play above the rim to become an explosive finisher and vertical threat. His presence as a roll man forces weak-side defenders to tag the roll, creating easier looks for shooters while adding another dimension to the Pistons' pick-and-roll offense.

Collins' combination of elite efficiency, floor spacing, and interior finishing gives the Pistons a versatile frontcourt scorer who can complement their primary creators without taking the ball out of their hands.

@pradacade Straight into the fire bro 😂

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

🗓️ The Pistons' first four games might actually be their toughest four-game stretch of the season 👀

How should we expect the Pistons to fare in this four-game gauntlet? 🤔

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

@ShadeShunn I'd honestly be happy with that

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

@LedgieSports Lol the irony would be hilarious 😂

[Detroit Hoops Lab @PistonsLab]

@CornellCol23752 Honestly a perfect fit with Cade. Exactly the help he’s needed
