00:00you see that twitch comment trajan told eiserman hold my beer i've noticed there's a nickname
00:11emerging for trajan langdon i saw it on social media yesterday it's in one of our texts this
00:15morning meet mr margins well i kind of alluded to the the fact that they were making some moves
00:22on the margins but i thought it was all for a setup all to go land the big fish they
00:28were
00:28supposed to be the team that was big game hunting this offseason it was a setup all right
00:33i don't like the punchline so let me ask you this question as we ask our listeners what's your
00:40approval rating of trajan langdon after watching all the nba moves yesterday specifically jalen brown
00:46going from boston to the sixers um they gave up paul george the two first the two seconds
00:55is it possible that the rest of the league also called jalen duran's bluff that he wasn't going to
01:05be enough in that trade to get it done yeah but i would think duran has more value than paul
01:11george
01:11who's seen as a negative okay i'm just asking the question and look i've seen people speculate is
01:16jalen brown also a negative we have multiple texts today saying he makes too much money uh 60 million
01:21another one points out 57 60 and 64 over the next three years what is the money for if not
01:27to pay
01:27all nba players he was the best player on the two seed in the east he garnered mvp votes and
01:35finished
01:35second team all nba if we're not paying him who the hell do you justify paying outside of cade this
01:42is
01:42the whole point you play with money no you play with players not money right the money there's a cap
01:47and
01:47and if you can fit him under the cap that's all that matters you got two aprons figure it out
01:54i'm also confused by another text that says fellas maybe if brown couldn't exist with tatum he
02:00couldn't exist with cade brown didn't have the issue like i don't know why this is becoming a part of
02:05the conversation at no point have i heard either jason tatum or jalen brown say i can't play with that
02:12guy i don't want to share i'd also point out it did work with those two they won an nba
02:17championship
02:18and while brown is certainly demanding more shots there's enough to go around do you feel like the
02:25pistons had too many shot creators last year too many guys who were shooting no it was cade
02:32frantically looking for somebody else the somebody else was there yeah uh the text ends with maybe
02:39they pivot to trey murphy that's the winner here look i suppose that's a way to still salvage this
02:44if they pivot to trey murphy a guy that can create his own shot the guy that can be that
02:48second creator
02:48as well as shoot as well as do a lot of other things then then i can look at this
02:53and go okay
02:55and and if it's durin at and the way i'm seeing this okay he called durin's bluff did he call
03:03it to
03:03the tune of 30 a year right instead we were talking about 35 could he walk him could he could
03:09he have gotten 44 and no one offered it to him so are we looking at the super savings and
03:16now you
03:16do go get trey murphy i can't believe we passed on jalen brown what the hell another says i'm convinced
03:21they'll go after michael porter jr go after someone is is all we're saying another calls jalen brown a
03:29locker room cancer doesn't want to be a robin let's get to dylan good morning you're on 97 one
03:35hey guys i i just i completely disagree with us being mad over this jalen brown stuff i mean it's
03:42uh
03:42jalen brown before last year the 22 23 point a game guy shoots 35 32 percent from three point last
03:51year
03:52or not last year but the year before uh jason tatum got hurt oh when he had to shoot in
03:58volume
03:59i know that's that's a volume thing more than anything else when you're the only
04:02threat and you have to shoot more the efficiency will go down i think he would be
04:06a great fit next to cade cunningham i don't know last year when his attempts went up his percentage
04:14went up so for his career how about we just how about we just use his career he's he shot
04:1930
04:2035.8 from three that's totally playable that's playable for sure i mean but it's not really
04:27what we're looking for especially with fucking jalen brown we can't let you say that
04:35so you got to be careful there yeah i didn't hear it but i'm glad you did play it safe
04:40yeah i thought i
04:41heard it look he's a guy who takes the scoring burden the shot creating burden away from cade for 48
04:49minutes that's the appeal to having him on the team to adding jalen brown i mean how many all-star
04:56games how many all nbas he was a finals nvp the most valuable player on an nba championship roster
05:03he was that included jason tatum he a healthy jason tatum right he was available for
05:12pennies
05:14and let's get one thing straight this is not a robin for cade this is another batman right that's
05:21a good way of putting it it's batman and batman
05:25and i i don't subscribe to the there's too many batmans like there's only one basketball yeah but in
05:32a game how many shots is a team going to take right cade's not shooting them all
05:35no and we need more shot creators we have one
05:43uh guys this is a garbage off season these detroit gms are all the same complete trash
05:49another says mr margins is a coward no one should be shocked when cade wants out in two years okay
05:54there still is a world there still is a world where today tomorrow this weekend fourth of july
06:03celebration they announced that they've given up three first for trey murphy like so i'm not going
06:09to sit here and say that okay this is the team that we are going into next season with there
06:14can still
06:15be that type of a trade made trey murphy's contract is much more palatable yes i continue to wonder
06:24why it hasn't been done yet are they waiting to get the final numbers on durin and then they offer
06:30everybody's favorite trade chip ron holland and however many picks and salary you need
06:34because between lavert and um dunk yeah you got the salary for murphy you've got the picks
06:43i've talked about it since the start of the offseason i like trey murphy yeah if you didn't
06:47get brown because you got murphy i'm cool with it
06:52i i agree then and so that's why i'm not going to sit here and say like we don't know
06:56what it looks
06:57like yet there still is that opportunity that's out there it's unfortunate because of what jalen
07:03brown was traded for i know you see that it didn't take an arm and a leg right this is
07:08totally doable
07:08for the pistons and everybody else in the east are loading up they're not waiting around for
07:14detroit's young team to figure it out let's get to ed in alpina ed good morning hey guys real quick
07:20um you know i'm gonna say what the texter just said you got a gm with the tigers who doesn't
07:27like
07:27anybody that's not over 35 years old and can't play baseball you got one with the lions who can't
07:32figure out defense if it was laid out in front of them you got the captain who has his captain
07:37wanting to get traded out of town because he can't build the team and then you got trajan langdon who
07:42doesn't want anybody on the team that is better than he ever was i don't know what the heck is
07:49going
07:49out with the gm's enjoy but as a group we got to have the four worst in all sports that
07:54will hold
07:54on we don't have the four worst they just suffer from the same illness who's there are cities where
08:01the teams can't even get to the postseason right where they botch picks and there are t there are
08:07cities where the boston celtics general manager just traded away jalen brown for paul george
08:12okay you know what but who's boston still gonna be better or less probably we went for probably the
08:17first or second team of the east this offseason probably the eighth or ninth we could realistically
08:22if you look across the east the pistons could be a play and don't confuse don't confuse this for me
08:29saying our gms are all stellar there are bozos that run teams and get fired these guys have done a
08:35job
08:36most of them other than eiserman have done the job of elevating these guys to the contention level
08:42they just haven't shown the killer instinct to try to get the team over the hump right nobody's done
08:48nobody's done the move yet that leads to a shot at a championship it's just frustrating that all
08:54four are trying to slowly and build methodically yes that not one of them kind of goes rogue not
09:01that they have an agreement with each other right but you it's just it feels like they're making moves
09:06for job security if we can just be good and competent every year i don't have to worry about being
09:12fired and it's a thing sometimes you know doug well you don't know that they're not involved in
09:16things and you didn't have the best offer but you know i think trey murphy could still be on the
09:22table
09:23here and the thing is i if it doesn't work out i need to hear that like i i need
09:30to hear some things
09:31that these teams have tried to maybe do okay you know you've had all these for all these teams
09:37probably outside of hockey a little bit just because there's not as much free agency movement
09:40but opportunities to land superstars and change the game but they're unwilling to give up anything
09:46and you see divisional rivals or conference rivals doing it if they land trey murphy and their thought
09:53is we got to keep durin to put with murphy and asar and cade and they tie it all together
10:02i'll sing his praises i have no issue doing that i mean to me because maybe the calculus was
10:08i'd have to give up durin to get brown which i would do but maybe his thought is i want
10:13durin and
10:14murphy as opposed to jalen brown that would be a way to make this all okay but it feels very
10:20narrow
10:20right like you start free agency and it's all these names and all these possibilities and trades and
10:25targets and i feel like the walls are closing in as some will point and then it's one dude right
10:31trey murphy and if you get him it works and if you don't you screwed up but for me i
10:35know this three
10:36first thing i would do four you're expecting to be good you have a superstar in his not even in
10:42his
10:42prime yet you should be a good team for 10 years and what you hope doesn't happen when you sell
10:47these
10:48picks is you don't have a halliburton year right cade where everything goes wrong and you've given up
10:53your first yeah exactly but if it happens oh well you took a shot yeah quickly quentin in detroit good
11:02morning hey good morning fellas uh just couple points no gm so troy troy weaver uh uh trajan lang
11:12that inherited troy weaver's gems and you know you have people saying you know well we got to give
11:18it to troy weaver so basically what i'm saying is each gm that comes in they inheres the other uh
11:24other person's gems do a few things you know see some success and then they get fired it's the same
11:32same circle i've been a business fan since i could put on my own box listen it's the same routine
11:38you
11:39know like i told uh mark last night i might get a new team man it's getting bad man now
11:44we have time
11:45to salvage it you know i understand that but honestly it's the same routine we need a big swing
11:51and like the gentleman just said in the back give them four first rounds if we're gonna be good we
11:55might as well enjoy it we might as well i don't see any point of keeping them now if we
12:00plan on being
12:01horrible yeah people you never know it might be another win be in two three years but with the
12:06new i i a lot of arteries i mean you know what i mean lottery lottery i got you yep
12:11it doesn't it
12:13seems like it doesn't matter anyway if you're gonna be mediocre you still get you still get rewarded
12:19with the first round i mean you know with the first pick or whatever it seems like if you if
12:23you just tank you get nothing so what's the benefit of keeping the pace we need trey murphy to third
12:28man
12:29yeah i think i think we're all circling the same name here to complete this offseason
12:36yeah i mean we we are and that opportunity still exists i'm not saying it's going to happen
12:42you think we're being a little heavy-handed a little emotional no no i'm just saying let's let's
12:47pump the brakes just a little bit let it play out yeah okay coming up next we've got heather's news
12:52we've got the two grand slam we've got dear john and don't worry we're going to keep the conversation
12:56rolling for much of the morning talking about the pistons offseason and our u.s soccer team
13:01what a ridiculous red card but what a great win it's 97 one
13:04what a great win it's 98 one
13:04what a great win it's 98 one
13:04You
