Summary
Nick Angstadt & Camille Davis open with the Jalen Duren contract standoff, where he wants $40 million a year and the Detroit Pistons want to pay closer to $35 million. They ask what it means for locker room chemistry and who becomes the second scorer next to Cade Cunningham. The hosts then look at the Utah Jazz trying to win on purpose with Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr., and debate whether anything short of the play-in is a disappointment.
