01:29minutes before you got to make that decision you might want to make it quick no but rico we found
01:33out some news today what what what tip the scales yes this is interesting okay it's not as if trajan
01:40langdon kept raising the price for jaylen durin when it started 170 185 ends up at 200 so maybe you
01:48say
01:48okay durin's camp is smart for waiting it out also tom gore's apparently got involved tom gore spent
01:55all yesterday on the phone with jaylen durin saying jaylen baby we're gonna make this a nice
02:02family friendly environment all those mean offers you got from trajan langdon when they were trying
02:10to lowball you that's a thing of the past that mean nasty weight clause he took that out that's a
02:16thing of the past oh no i am begging you to take my money i've never seen people beg somebody
02:22so hard
02:24to take 200 million dollars bro what are we doing think about this you're begging him to take this
02:31deal when did he become shack when did he become wimby when did he become carl anthony when did he
02:39become that guy that becomes the cornerstone of your team that i don't get that i don't understand
02:46you're begging him to stay let me keep upping the ante because we need you there and now reports are
02:53the owner comes in and says that's right we're gonna make this a family friendly place for you like
02:58so we're giving you the money and now we got to make you feel good about giving you the money
03:04right
03:05i am begging you to take 200 million dollars guaranteed where let's be honest even if you
03:11don't live up the standards it doesn't matter because you're not losing that money that money
03:15is yours but do you remember the last time tom gorest got involved do you remember i don't the last
03:21time tom gorest got involved he called up monty williams and he begged monty monty baby please come
03:28coach us and monty's like no and tom's like hey monty it's me again tom gorest owner of the pistons
03:33i'll give you more money monty said no then tom gorest called again said hey it's me who knows
03:41how many times tom gorest called monty williams but he obviously got his guy and at the press
03:46conference monty williams said i only came here because i couldn't turn down that kind of money
03:52cut scene as mike would say a year later you're buying him out for 60 million bucks when you beg
03:58a
03:59guy to take your money it's not a great look so rico and i were talking pre-show have you
04:05lost
04:05respect for the pistons or for trajan langdon because i see nothing wrong with what jalen duran
04:13did he's just gonna accept the offer i mean jalen did what everybody wants to do you yeah you're gonna
04:19just milk the system as best you can and he played it right he got more money i mean for
04:24trajan
04:24you kept bidding against yourself and now it looks like the owner had to step in to submit this deal
04:30because you couldn't get it done because we were coming up to literally the the midnight hour and then
04:36all of a sudden news comes out a little bit before midnight that he's he's it's a done deal because
04:41the
04:41owner had to step in and reassure no no you and your family you're gonna love it here what what
04:47what are
04:47we doing okay so what makes you and hold on yeah this is all based off of your playoff performance
04:54where you did nothing and you had the idea okay you could ask for anything but you had the audacity
05:03to hold out for this money and somehow you tricked them into giving it to you but now you need
05:08to feel
05:08good and you don't need people booing and you don't need people giving you the side eye well you're
05:13you don't need people you know saying whispering and all that no you you need parade and balloons
05:19and rose petals when you walk into the locker room like i don't understand why do you have to make
05:24this
05:25man feel good he he won he won well you begged him and that's the thing so after it all
05:32happened
05:33jalen duran put out on social media that he's a piston and he did the whole let's go what gets
05:39lost
05:39in this entire thing is on january 15th after having signed this contract if trajan langdon would
05:47think about trading him maybe jalen could get traded let's not forget he didn't want to be here let's
05:52not forget he went to sacramento he went to los angeles he went to boston he did not want to
05:58be in
05:58detroit add that to the fact that he was really bad in the postseason and that's a guy you're begging
06:05to come here and then you look at the whole construction of the team and you see jalen duran
06:11and also a sar thompson and kate cunningham that makes up for 70 of your salary cap and you can't
06:17play
06:18two of the three guys together and one guy can't shoot and the other guy can't shoot threes so what
06:23exactly are you doing here so i agree with you you asked it perfectly and i want to ask the
06:30people
06:30have you lost a little faith in trajan langdon or the pistons because this was a group effort
06:37to make sure jalen duran is here and what i can't fathom is why why you could have traded him
06:44there is
06:45interest in him trajan refuses to trade him so unless they just believe he's this budding superstar
06:51i don't understand why you had to make yourself look like that to make jalen duran except 200 million
06:57looks like seems like to me i can't prove this but i i just think that this was kate cunningham
07:03saying that's my boy do what you have to do but i need him here okay that maybe is the
07:09best point
07:09because i think what can you do then i think it was kate saying guys i don't care and kate
07:14we're
07:14getting an offer to trade him no he has to be a piston because they bent over backwards they bid
07:20it
07:20against themselves overpaid him apparently had clauses in the contract about the weight took the
07:27took that out and then you have the owner come in to reassure him no no it's going to be
07:33a
07:33family friendly environment like what are we doing here over jalen duran well the other
07:42rigger this this is i agree victor went beyond yeah this isn't yannis this this isn't like you know
07:49uh joker this this isn't one of those game-changing type of people where absolutely you do this
07:57isn't even k cunningham this is i could even say it's k freaking cunningham do what you got to do
08:03to make sure he's here to me after watching him play he's expendable in the playoffs are you serious
08:10did did he not see him did he not review the tape does he not remember getting benched right
08:16for paul reed right of all people right oh and by the way if you're trajan lang then you should
08:22be
08:22angry because jalen duran made you hold up your plans jalen duran and the uncertainty in this
08:29situation probably added to a really bad offseason which by the way we just don't think national
08:35nba people think but more than anything else in my opinion dude you could have done better
08:43you had a no show for an offseason where you were a 60 win team and the first seed in
08:49the east and now
08:50you're coming back with the same crew and one of the guys don't want to be here and let's be
08:54honest
08:55as much as jalen might put on a good face and say like hey man i'm happy to be in
08:59detroit he's not he
09:01already told you he's not but yet you begged him and when you beg somebody to stay that's usually when
09:07it ends up being bad well i often wonder too what's gonna happen when he has that bad game
09:12and then the fans turn on him because the fans didn't make him that promise that they were gonna
09:16make his life nice the fans didn't make him that so i'm gonna wonder how is he gonna react then
09:22is
09:23he gonna attack the fans because they're gonna say wait you held out and you came out there and gave
09:28us
09:28eight points and seven rebounds and you think that's worth 200 million fair or unfair that's just
09:35where we are i just don't like that strange and langdon i'm sorry i don't even have to go to
09:40the
09:40fans we can just go to the gm what if langdon says something to him that upsets him is he
09:46now gonna
09:46go over his head and go straight go right to tom hey tom remember you promised me that nice family
09:51environment bicker staff says something that he doesn't like he's gonna go to the owner that's the
09:55part of it that i don't like that that is a great point because right you can't like goris
10:03usurped all authority in that building yeah because the player has the power now trajan
10:08what exactly do you do see it's it's different you had all summer to submit this deal you couldn't
10:13owner had to step in and get it done and it's different if that if they were all on the
10:17same
10:17page if gors was on the same page as g the gm and then the last thing you say you
10:22know what
10:22he's not listening to me you talk to him but they're on the same page doesn't seem like they're
10:27all on the same page and gorgeous yeah i'll give you whatever you want it'll make things nice for
10:32you this if it wasn't for the wings this would probably been the most ridiculous thing that
10:40happened this summer well i'm there's something in the building at the lca i mean i mean think about
10:44i agree this summer you could do a 30 for 30 in detroit over this summer from from the wings
10:52debacle to this to scoobal you could even throw the whole joy porter jr thing in there if you want
11:00the lions in there and their lack of movement the funny thing is like our guys really one of your
11:05guys may be going to prison but we like our guys it's almost like by getting jaylen durin to come
11:12back
11:12fans or maybe they're trying to get fans to forget the offseason was a disaster you had one goal you
11:19had one mission to get kade cunningham's running mate and you failed you absolutely failed well
11:25you know how i and the real kicking the ball so all of this the one team that remember pistons
11:32really
11:32wanted to play the knicks oh we can beat the knicks if we play the knicks we're gonna beat the
11:38we swept them we they're the world champions 248-539-9797 who do you side with jaylen durin's
11:45the pistons camp the pistons camp and the rico question have you lost some respect for trajan
11:51langdon and the detroit pistons 97-1
