His agent found the right team to use as leverage lol

Pelinka gonna open with 30mil then instantly bump it to a full max at the slightest hint of resistance, it’s a legacy summer for him he can’t just sign some washed one way bums like he did for LeBron and AD

There’s nothing about the Lakers and Duren in this link, are you making stuff up? 

This has been the most electrifying offseason in awhile and we’re not even day 1 of free agency 😂😂😂

Possible jail time, trades, drama, potential unction

This is the one if I’m LA

I’m throwing a fucking bag at duren and just figuring it out around Luka/reaves/duren for the next decade

Makes a ton more sense than the Kings lol.

Using the lakers as leverage we so are fucking back

Get ready to learn lobbing, buddy

Using the Lakers as leverage is a time honored tradition

rob’s job is on the line we is 100 percent willing to max duren or kessler

Pelinka with last minute legacy save???

Get ready to be Clint Capela buddy

I still think Kessler would be a better fit and less likely to be matched than Duren.

Double sign and trade for LeBron? lol

Jalen: Hey Rob, It’s Jalen Du… *phone hangs up*

if only Duren’s screens in the playoffs were as hard and thick as these smokescreens…

Duren needs a good PG. Perfect for Luka.

Not sure about the price tho after maxing Reeves.

I guess they going to schedule that around my meeting tomorrow with the Lakers.

It’s fine. It’s fine.

The Lakers should be meeting with both Duren and Kessler. It would’ve weird if they weren’t. This still doesn’t significantly change the odds they end up back with their original team. 

I watched the video of him free styling yesterday and now I have major questions regarding his cognitive ability

You know pelinka’s petty ass is going to drive up the price

This link says nothing about Duren and the Lakers

Please go to the Lakers. Luka Magic will make it work.

Lol he’d be amazing with us but i doubt we’d pay him what he wants

Get ready to average 30 Duren hahaha

Expensive Ayton meet sub MLE Ayton

I get that the Pistons don’t want to over pay.

But is Ugunna really going to be backing up Paul Reed at center?

I don’t like that

If DET loses both Stewart and Duren in one OS that’s gonna be a crazy culture hit, they will not be the same team next year

Yikes

Interesting

Yeah this is all a ploy

Celtics are like “please sir may I have a center?”

Who leaks this shit?

let’s go baby

This pleases me

I read he’s meeting w/ the kings

It’s a call, but it may as well be a Vulcan Mind Meld…the Math Ain’t Mathin’ with Luka, AR and Duren all $40M+

I mean if they are gonna overpay a restricted free agent center it’d make much more sense to try and go for the guy whos younger and has already been an all star and all nba

I really like the Lakers with him at the 5

They need a true bruiser .

Does a sign and trade have to be worked out before he signs an offer sheet? Can he still be signed and traded even though he signed an offer sheet? Or is it that once he signs an offer sheet, Detroit has only 2 options- either match or let him walk?

Does Detroit have any possibility of getting Bron to team up with Cade?

ngl duren meeting with the lakers feels like his agent playing the market more than anything. detroits been clear they want to keep him and LA doesnt really have the assets to make a sign-and-trade work without gutting their depth. but you never know with pelinka

Lakers making calls on centers makes sense with the AD minutes question, but Duren as an RFA means Detroit still controls this. Feels like leverage play more than a real move unless the Lakers put together a real offer.

come on pelinka

Unless the Lakers are trading Reaves there is nothing we want

I can see it now. Lakers fans talking about Duren like he’s the next Wilt Chamberlain. It won’t be insufferable
