At the beginning of FA pistons should have called the Kings and Duren and said āwe will do the S&T if you give us Sabonis, 2 first round picks and 4 second round picks. Thatās the price and itās not changing.ā
That way the onus is on SAC and you get paid a lot for taking a flier on Sabonis
All-NBA center Jalen Duren is not attending Detroit Pistons media day Monday nor the start of training camp, declining the teamās 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.

I mean he will but eventually every JJJ coach realizes heās actually not that good at playing center
Austin Ainge said he would ābe shockedā if Jaren Jackson didnāt get some decent run at center.

Most likely
Plus someone explained the trade aspect to me as LAL-UTA aspect as it being a year and a half long negotiation with the Jazz firmly telling the Lakers no with multiple trade outlines and the price was the price cuz the Jazz didnāt see any real downside to dragging it out but the Lakers did cuz getting the franchise C was THE big thing they promised Luka
This leads me to believe Kessler already had planned to get to the Lakers and those free agency meetings he supposedly had were just to deflect the appearance of tampering

It's better to trade them early then to wait til its too late
I mean the āfalloutā for the Jazz was pretty good all things considered but I would say Denver handled the Watson thing terribly as well. When you have important players like that I donāt think trying to squeeze them is the best approach
Just trade em early and rip the bandaid

Maybe the fallout of the Duren and Kessler situations where teams using RFA to try and trap players and drive their salaries down leading to destroyed relationships will teach franchises to shift their approach. RFA shouldnāt even be a thing. If you can pay your own guy more than someone else and they still donāt want to be there they shouldnāt be forced to stay.

I donāt believe the Jazz believed that however thereās other stuff that was reported earlier from Jazz reporters he wasnāt very happy at the beginning of FA with the Jazz
Interesting Walker Kessler detail in the @TheSteinLine substack: Stein notes that Kesslerās camp convinced the Jazz that he was determined to sign the qualifying offer and hit free agency next summer.

Playoffs sucked for him but thatās their starting center who is a pillar of how they play. Also lost Tobias and Stew which arenāt like top 50 players but that team was genuinely close, so idk have trouble believing everyone feels great in that locker room rn

I just donāt see a way him coming back to the pistons is good for the team
I think thereās limits to how far you can stretch the RFA rights over a player cuz these are humans and the relationship aspect does matter
Jalen Duren is expected to miss Pistons media day as negotiations continue to stall, league sources tell @TheAthletic, with @sam_amick:
