What we speculated on in the last Pindown episode

Detroit sticking with those weight clause incentives in their final offer to JD

Makes me think it’s basically that 5/$190m offer with monthly weigh-ins for JD to hit that $200m mark

[Hunter Patterson @HunterPatterson]

Jalen Duren has until tomorrow to either accept the Pistons’ $9.6 million qualifying offer or their current five-year, $200 million deal.

Here’s context on Duren’s options ahead, Detroit’s ability to extend the deadline and more:

@PistonsMuse Yes - gotta move him for something at that point before you lose him for nothing

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]

I think Myles Turner would do a lot of good for this Pistons team and I’m not holding a dysfunctional Milwaukee Bucks season against him

[Ku 🦉 @KuKhahil]

Any fake Myles Turner S/T, Detroit better be receiving quite a bit of assets for taking on a bad contract for a player who was not good last year lol

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]

@hamztalkshoops_ The other Kushner brother lmao

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]

You gotta wear that Evan Sidery block like a badge of honor nowadays 🫡 @esidery

[Wes Davenport @therealwesd3]

Why do I keep seeing so many retweeting that Ev*n Sid**y account? How are y'all falling for that in the year 2026? You're better than that #detroitbasketball

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]

@Oldcrow07 @espn You’re right, but even with Duncan, that trade doesn’t work either - still not enough total money to match AD’s almost $60m

That would be a terrible trade for Detroit regardless, imo

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]

It would be wonderful if @espn, the supposed worldwide leader in sports, had their analysts actually check if their proposed trades even work financially before going on TV

No, AD cannot be traded for Duren

[Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24]

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?!?!?

I need 5+ threes a game from JC this year

[Chris Solari @chrissolari]

Fitzgerald says RB Cam Edwards is out for the season. No other injury updates for MSU until Wednesday.

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]

“So far” is the key phrase in this tweet. He still has until Oct 1st to accept.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

All-NBA center Jalen Duren is not attending Detroit Pistons media day Monday nor the start of training camp, declining the team’s five-year, $200 million fully guaranteed offer in restricted free agency so far, sources tell ESPN. The sides remain at a stalemate ahead of Thursday deadline on a one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer.

[Robbie Bettelon @RobbieBettelon]
