Jalen Duren reportedly believes he’s in a higher tier than the Thompson twins, per @TheAthletic
“Detroit inking Thompson to a five-year, $155 million deal, which will begin paying him an average annual value of $31 million, added a layer to Duren’s contract negotiations. As did Thompson’s twin brother Amen, who agreed to sign a five-year, $208 million contract to stay with the Houston Rockets earlier this month. While Amen Thompson was a Defensive Player of the Year finalist, neither Thompson twin earned an All-Star or All-NBA selection last season, while Duren got the nod on both. For Duren, it’s quite clear he sees his value in a higher tier than both twins considering last regular-season’s accolades.”

Tyrese Haliburton, who makes $48 million per year, says he doesn’t understand how people with less money than him fly private:
“Flying private is a little ridiculous… when I was getting these quotes for flying private, I had to call my financial advisor like ‘Am I missing something?’ I know I make way more this guy and he’s flying private everytime… I can’t do that everytime, it makes me sick.”
