@RyanLucas_LA BYC.Duren gets us half what he signs for+9mil. Sign him for 44mil, we can only take back 22+9.That dont equal lavine. So we have to add duncan. Same goes with sabonis. Duren+duncan for sabonis or https://t.co/CRuGjuvnaa least for Turner from bucks,we wouldn't need to add Duncan
Marc Spears:
"Jalen Duren, he's not even talked to Trajan for months. A Pistons source told me that there's still optimism that they think he'll sign the big deal. But if not, I'm hearing from an NBA GM told me the Milwaukee Bucks, the Atlanta Hawks, the Sacramento Kings and the Washington Wizards...have interest in a potential sign and trade"
The Wizards?!?!?
@Baller_Report 2 bad playoff series*
And he was only allnba due to 65gm rule. No one believes Duren is a top15 player. Zero chance he was getting 287mil. Hes restricted, other teams can offer max 4yr177mil. Nobody did.
@NxHeroes@MikeAScotto@DowntownDeuce@hoopshype We were 1 player over the 15 player limit. Needed to waive him or Lanier or tolu. If we take 2 back for Duren, we'd need to release another guy.
@RyanLucas_LA Except the weight clause is to give him more money if he keeps his weight right. He had no lift and limited mobility and athleticism in the playoffs.
@xel4life@KoreaPistonsFan BYC prevents this trade from happening.Pistons can only take back half of what Durens 1st yr contract would be.Would need a 3rdteam plus Sacramento has to have enough space to receive Durens full 1st year salary so this whole idea of sign+trades is very difficult to make happen
@McPiston2 Agreed. Thats disappointing. Well, looks like we're setting ourselves up for a trade deadline move then. Langdon probably didnt like the ask of multiple 1sts so he's waiting
