Trajan Langdon

But are you sure that's not going to cause, like, resentment and harbored feelings? And then it's like, are you going to be in a position where your most reliable big is going to be Paul Reed, which no disrespect to Paul Reed, but he was your third string big going into last year.

This is just one of those situations where I think it's so tough because it's like, I think Trajan's offering Durant a fair market value deal.

You posted the stats earlier today of where that would put him in the hierarchy of centers, and that would make him the eighth highest paid center in the league, which if you go through and look at every single name above him in that deal, it's like there's only, like, two names that you'd really question being above him, and those deals were signed before this apron system really kind of came to be.

So all that to say, like...

The Pistons have regressed.

And to me, you have to look at Trajan Langdon and say he failed this offseason, straight up.

If it's a pass-fail grade, he failed, not improving this team.

He got caught with

I honestly, for me, my answer to this is this[laughs] Just, I'd nuke both situations

Trajan is...

It looks like to me he played his hand wrong, and he's losing it right now.

The Wings, Mike, they're an empty chair.

I'll just take this.

I'll, I'll leave 181 on the table, play for 9 million, and hope for the best." He's not trying to work with this team.

So yeah, did Trajan get played? Yeah, he kind of did because I think he thought he was in control until he realized he's lost that control.

Let's get to the pe-...

'Cause we got another one of these rank amateurs in town.

Trajan Langdon really has got to be called into question.

Not only for that ridiculous trade deadline, but this ridiculous off-season, which is now capped by the maraschino cherry of Jalen Durrant willing to leave 180 on the table.

You have to know your opponent here.

You know I like the hat you're wearing.

I know your school doesn't like that logo, but I do.

Text here says, "The Pistons' off-season has been as entertaining as a Trajan Langdon press conference.

A real snoozer."

Durin turned down five at 190.

I mean, could Trajan Langen get urkle-d harder? This dude just got bodied into a locker all offseason.

This is why I said trade this guy.

He doesn't wanna be here.

You wanna shake your ass for Sacramento? You don't wanna be here.

And what did they do? "No, no, no, Trajan's being a tough guy.

Drawing a hard line." How's that hard line working for you?

Yeah.

'Cause we got another one of these rank amateurs in town.

Trajan Langdon really has got to be called into question.

Not only for that ridiculous trade deadline, but this ridiculous off-season, which is now capped by the maraschino cherry of Jalen Durin willing to leave 180 on the table.

You know I like the hat you're wearing.

I know your school doesn't like that logo, but I do.

Text here says, "The Pistons off-season has been as entertaining as a Trajan Langdon press conference, a real snoozer." Someone that's texting in on Durrant says, "Langdon failed this off-season.

I'm so over this Durrant situation.

Durin turned down five at 190.

I mean, could Trajan Langdon g- get urkle-d harder? This dude just got bodied into a locker all off-season.

This is why I said trade this guy.

He doesn't wanna be here.

On the best team that the Detroit Pistons have had in a long time.

At the same time, if you're Trajan Langdon and the Detroit Pistons, don't you have to ask yourself, are we still a 60-win team? Are we still one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference if we don't have Jalen Dern? And all the counts from the Detroit Pistons are we're not playing basketball without Jalen Dern.

We want Jalen Dern as a Detroit Piston.

From all of the different things that have clearly been leaked by the different camps, not one of them has been, oh, they're entertaining a sign-and-trade or the Detroit Pistons for the first time are open to.
