🚨REPORT: An update on the Jalen Duren saga from a much more reputable source, @JakeLFischer Quite the opposite of what’s been falsely reported in the last 24 hours.

The report on Jalen Duren this afternoon by @ramonashelburne

@LedgieSports I think you’re right. At this point, both parties will have to compromise. If Duren was going to end up on another team, he’d be there by now. And if the Pistons weren’t avid on bringing him back, they would’ve traded him already. There’s got to be some common ground somewhere

Because of the lack of outside options, I think this is a good thing for both sides to reassess and regroup before continuing conversations.

🚨REPORT: Pistons and Jalen Duren are currently at a “standstill” regarding a contract extension, per @ramonashelburne Seems like everyday we’re getting “reports” that contradict what was said the day prior.

@KuKhahil I was just posting about how it feels like everyday we get a “report” that contradicts the day prior. It’s getting annoying 😂

I'm done hearing or talking about this until we hear there's a new contract agreed, he takes the QO, or they start searching sign and trades If we don't have movement on any of those, I'm good on this situation now

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

📊QUICK STAT: Chaz Lanier shot 51.1% from three during Summer League (23-45). He shot 39.7% from three on 8.7 attempts per game in the G League last season. Do you think his Summer League shooting will translate to the regular season with the Pistons?

@hamztalkshoops_ The fact this was even posted is hilarious 😂

Per WHOM???

🚨UPDATE: The Pistons and Jalen Duren have only made "modest" movement toward an agreement on a contract, per @TheSteinLine Pistons fans, is this good news or bad news?

@LedgieSports Can we just acknowledge how good Presti is though 😂

Risacher resurgence with Dallas? Hundred percent see the vision. I don’t think he will ever live up to his first overall value, but he can be a dang good NBA player in this league

@TheMattSinatra A man’s meal

Sometimes simple is all you need 🤌

🎬HIGHLIGHTS: Ebuka Okorie vs. Heat 🔹27 PTS 🔹4 REB 🔹3 AST Great finish to Summer League for the rookie 🔥

@EbukaMuse Needed to see him finish SL like that

Ebuka Okorie in his Final Summer League Game: 27 PTS 🔥 4 REBS 🔥 3 ASTS 🔥 1 STL 🔥

Lol hilarious 😂

@KuKhahil Going to be tough to stop when his finishing catches up

Okorie handle and body control is crazy

@ALMIGHTY_SHINE @JakeLFischer Man if they could swing Watson without giving up Holland I think that’s a huge win

@PistonsLab @JakeLFischer Trajan need to give the Nuggest the Picks they want. 2 first a swap, Prince and Harris should be perfect for them

@Munchhiano @emmitonair Randle El was fun too, I watched him when he was with the Redskins

@PistonsLab @emmitonair Tsss everytime he played my Steelers that mf was returning one

Devin Hester, Cordarrelle Patterson, or Brian Mitchell isn’t available: name a great NFL Kick Returner.

@bigdogpistons1 @TheSteinLine He would definitely be a nice bench piece. He can still give you 25-30 any night

@PistonsLab @TheSteinLine Not as a starter

🚨REPORT: The Pistons are “assessing the concept” of signing DeMar DeRozan, per @TheSteinLine Would the 7x All-Star be the right fit with Cade in Detroit’s offense?

@GeedotTv @emmitonair The best compliment a man can get

@PistonsLab @emmitonair Ball knower

@bigdogpistons1 @KalamCenter It’s probably one of those trick questions that make you question life

@PistonsLab @KalamCenter Oh I assumed had to keep the stick

Interesting puzzle here. What do you think?
