00:23no they didn't that's dan dickerson the tigers didn't handle it well
00:32um yeah if you want to break that down a little more aggressive base running by the angels
00:37because matt veerling was lazy in centerfield took his time getting to the ball and then threw
00:43it on multiple hops to second base no urgency in aj's words didn't play fast enough we'll call it
00:49is lazy in centerfield can't respect it can't believe you let him stay in the game all right
00:54i got some piston stuff for you okay i want to play a game john i want to play one
00:58both or neither
01:00okay i have some pistons prices from some industry people bobby marks of espn projects assar thompson
01:06to get a five-year 162 million dollar deal keith smith of spotrak projects durin to get five years
01:15at 185 one both or neither so the assar five-year deal is not going to happen until next year
01:23right
01:23they could sign it this offseason but it wouldn't kick in for another year okay so they lock them
01:28up knowing that they've got yes so the numbers on that are for assar about what 32 per year
01:40during 37 37 um i would i i think the pistons will do both
01:50that doesn't answer your question no no one both or neither um both you would do both i would do
01:57both i think if you can get durin under that 40 million dollar mark um i do think that there
02:04is
02:05room for him to learn what went wrong in the postseason do i think he's a a 1910 guy in
02:11the
02:11postseason probably not they're gonna there's gonna be a lot of teams that take away what he does
02:15um and assar i think assar that's i don't want to say it's a no-brainer but the way he
02:22can develop
02:24something offensively i don't think he's ever going to be a huge threat offensively but
02:28for him to be able to take away donovan mitchell or a team's best player and he can match up
02:35in so
02:36many different ways whether it's a you put him on a guard put him on a two put him on
02:41a three put
02:42him on a four i wouldn't necessarily want him guarding yannis no um but i i think he can he
02:47is so flexible in who he can defend and it could be different guys throughout the course of the game
02:54which it will be but it's hey if somebody's got the hot hand we want him to stop assar make
02:59him
02:59stop but haven't we talked about you have to kind of pick or are these prices good enough where you
03:03can keep both i think these prices are good enough where you can keep both because they're homegrown
03:09and now you can still go out and add that second score well that would be the but the question
03:15is
03:15how do you add them right if you add a free agency easy if you add them in a trade
03:21you're probably
03:22going to have to throw one of these guys in and if i'm throwing a guy in it's going to
03:26be during
03:26yeah okay so as i looked at these prices i didn't bat an eye at assar thompson yeah because even
03:31if he
03:32doesn't develop a jump shot at all we're doing radio in a city that watched ben wallace if you are
03:36that
03:36dominant defensively you can impact games and what he did is blow up game plans right ben wallace
03:42dennis rodman like pick pick your defender yeah on ball off ball disruptor you need those guys to win
03:48an nba championship especially as the league has become more perimeter based he's the best perimeter
03:52defender in basketball wouldn't bat an eye even if he never develops a jumper 32 million bucks
03:56where do i sign during is a lot harder because if i don't assume any development from him i got
04:01a hard
04:01time paying him that even if it's less than 40 it feels steep because he's a guy who lives exclusively
04:07at the rim and teams prove they could take that away yeah and i do not have this guarantee that
04:12he's
04:12going to develop some elite akeem olajuwon you know low post game i i view him as a guy who
04:19catches the
04:20ball with the hoop and dunks it and i'm not paying that guy 37 million dollars a year because it
04:24does
04:25squeeze the ability to add a proper piece around cade nsr and some of the other guys here's
04:31here's the the issue i have with it and again yeah i would do it that probably the pistons will
04:36probably do it they're gonna do both um is if i pay a sar i know exactly what i'm getting
04:44and i don't
04:45need anything to make him better yeah if i do this with durin and i want better production in the
04:52post
04:52season because he's he's most effective three feet from the basket yeah how do i have to add somebody to
05:00make him better i don't think you were in when i gave the stat so jalen durin attempted the most
05:05shots inside of five feet in the nba last season he was very good 70 percent awesome
05:1142 shots from 10 feet and out he shot 31 just a non-existent factor most of his points came
05:19as
05:19the roll guy on pick and roll or on putbacks well yeah when everybody doubles cade and your garbage
05:25cleanup guy yeah you scored a bunch of points in the playoffs when teams box out and put better
05:30defensive coverages and hands up at the basket you shrunk yeah it's just it's hard to justify i know
05:37they'll do it and if they keep both it's just going to make it it's going to shrink the pool
05:41of guys
05:41they can put next to cade and those two who are not shooters where the criticism for trajan langdon
05:46will come is if they do both and it prevents them from doing anything else that is going to make
05:52this
05:52team better because i don't believe with the czar and durin and cade you can win a championship it's
05:58going to have to be a czar cade fill in the blank yes endurance there as well and that'll be
06:06the key
06:06because i think you're right i think they'll end up keeping both at or around both these numbers
06:11trajan's challenge will be making it work having done so possible harder that'll be his challenge
06:17and that'll be the key because i think it's going to be the key because i think it's going to
06:17be the key
06:17because i think it's going to be the key because i think it's going to be the key because i
06:17think it's going to be the key
