If I was Jaden Ivey, coming off a broken Leg, and on top of that, Ivey plays a lot of head down, crash out, drive to the rim, basketball, I would sign an extension. I would secure my future. I wouldn't gamble if I was him. I would tell the Pistons I need 22.3 per season and I would sign that thing ASAP!!
Duren, is very limited. I would take my 21, 22 million and sign it ASAP!!!
I feel like Ivey’s getting traded. Honestly, if I have to choose. Im choosin Beasley over Ivey. Im signing Beasley and Im trading Ivey
After missing on Naz, LaRavia was the obvious choice. We should have kept Dennis and THJ instead of wasting the MLE on Caris. We could still do the Tek for Duncan trade as insurance against losing Beasley.
I believe they need to extend before the season officially starts.
Yall always miss the part wen TL said “we wouldn’t have gotten to the winning point in Jan without JI”
I think we keep both Ivey and Duren
Three more weeks of summer officially!
I would extend Duren simply because he 22 and he still has alot more potential. So i say 3-4 year deal around 80 to 100 million. Now iveyi would look to trade unless his shooting still improves and his extension stays around 60-80 million for a 2 year deal with a team option the 3rd year
patience is a virtue
