## Resource

Today on the Pistons Talk Podcast, we break down the latest report linking DeMar DeRozan to the Detroit Pistons. Would DeRozan provide the additional scoring Detroit needs alongside Cade Cunningham, or would his fit create new concerns for the Pistons? We also discuss the latest Jalen Duren contract update, what his next deal could look like and whether Detroit will be able to reach an agreement with its young center. Plus, we examine some of the worst free-agent contracts in the NBA and debate which teams may regret their offseason spending. FanDuel has released its NBA win-total projections, with the Pistons set around 50 wins. Is Detroit capable of reaching that number after its breakout season, or is the line too high? We also cover Adam Silver’s comments about the NBA’s proposed local streaming platform and what it could mean for watching Pistons games in the future. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
