The Greatest Ever

Isaiah Stewart had multiple public heated moments with the coaching staff throughout the postseason, per @HunterPatterson. Timeline: • Just before halftime of Game 3 (vs. Magic), Stewart & Bickerstaff had a verbal back-and-forth while still on the court • Stewart then had disagreements with several coaches during the Pistons’ Game 7 loss (vs. Cavs) • Stewart was subbed out of the game and was reluctant to give Bickerstaff a high five • Luke Walton tried correcting Stewart’s behavior before Stewart brushed Walton off as well • Pistons assistant Jarrett Jack watched it all unfold, Stewart and Jack exchanged words before players had to separate the two (Via @TheAthleticNBA)

The Pistons are not interested in sign-and-trades in any potential Jalen Duren deal, per @BrettSiegelNBA on "Clutch Scoops": "He's been wanting a max deal from the Detroit Pistons. He signaled that before the free agency window opened up. They have not been willing to give that to him. They want to keep this under $35 million - somewhere in that sweet zone of $30 million, $32 million... the Pistons want Jalen Duren back, but they want so on a cap hit that is going to make sense for them over the course of the next 3, 4, 5 years next to Cade Cunningham."
