The guys interchange the Duren and Larkin conversations while hearing from the people for the first time today.
Mike and Rico hear from some like-minded callers.
The guys share their frustrations about the latest Duren-Pistons and Dylan Larkin-Red Wings developments.
When it rains, it pours. The guys reacted to two separate concerning updates about the Jalen Duren/Pistons and Dylan Larkin/Red Wings sagas. They shifted back and forth between both topics before rounding out the hour with the Prop Bet Casino.
Aaron Johnson and Jasper Apollonia break down the latest report from Marc Stein that Jalen Duren is increasingly likely to accept the qualifying offer and return to the Detroit Pistons next season. The guys discuss how the Pistons and Duren got to this point, what accepting the qualifying offer would mean for both sides, the risks and benefits of Duren betting on himself, and whether they actually believe Duren will take the qualifying offer or eventually agree to a long-term extension with Detroit.

Eat That, College football preview, best of Coordinators.
On September 4, 2026, the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy ended in a mistrial when a single juror would not convict. This episode of Further. Every. Day. traces trial by jury from the Hebrew elders at the gate to that hung jury in Plymouth County, and asks the question the case is really about: who is fit to judge, and what happened to the standard? We read the primary sources and trace every claim to its origin. The episode covers the biblical origin of judgment in the gates (Deuteronomy, Ruth, and the Mishnah's lesser Sanhedrin of twenty-three), the Athenian and Roman juries, English common law and Magna Carta, the struck jury and the older competence tradition, the American founding and the Sixth Amendment, and the twentieth-century shift from the screened jury to the random fair-cross-section jury (Fay, Carter, Peters, Taylor, Duren, Batson, and the Jury Selection and Service Act of 1968). It then walks the insanity defense from the Roman furiosus and the wild beast test through M'Naghten, Durham, the Model Penal Code, and the Insanity Defense Reform Act to Commonwealth v. McHoul, the exact rule the Clancy jury deadlocked under, and closes on the law of the hung jury and mistrial: manifest necessity, Perez, and Ramos.

On this episode of the Palace of Pistons Podcast, Aaron Johnson takes a closer look at the Eastern Conference and breaks down the league's top teams heading into the 2026-27 season. With the offseason reshaping the conference around Detroit, Aaron examines how the biggest contenders have improved, which teams have taken a step back, and where the Pistons currently stand among the East's elite. Aaron also dives into the latest update in the Jalen Duren contract saga, with reports indicating that Duren and the Pistons are expected to reach an agreement in the range of 4 years and $160 million. What would the deal mean for Detroit's future, and is that the right price to pay for their young center? It's a full Eastern Conference check-in and an important update on one of the Pistons' biggest offseason storylines. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, RJ Hunt dives deep into the major contract decisions and offseason money moves shaking up the Detroit sports landscape.First, we look to the diamond to break down the Tigers' blockbuster deadline move, trading back-to-back Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers. Did Detroit do the right thing, or did they fold under pressure?Then, we look at the Detroit Lions making Jahmyr Gibbs the highest-paid running back in the league with a record three-year extension. Did the front office make the right call locking him up for that price? Finally, the main event: The Jalen Duren contract standoff. Duren is a restricted free agent looking for a massive payday, but the Pistons aren't budging. Are the Pistons being smart with their money, or is Duren being completely delusional about his current market value? We break down the red flags that explain why Detroit is hesitant to hand over the bag, while also acknowledging the undeniable upside and potential Duren brings to the floor. We also look at the reality of his restricted free agency—no other team has stepped up to offer him the money he wants, so we entertain the very real possibility of him taking the $9.6 million qualifying offer to bet on himself next summer.Drop your thoughts in the comments: Did the Lions and Tigers make the right moves, and should the Pistons pay Jalen Duren or make him play on the qualifying offer?Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more Detroit sports coverage!

Jim saw a mock trade that he would like to see the Pistons do
Matas Buzelis wants to adjust his shot profile — and it could be exactly what his star leap needs.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Matas wanting to reduce his three-point volume is not automatically a bad thing. After averaging 16.3 points while taking 6.4 threes per game and shooting 34.9% from deep, Matas may be looking to become more than just a rim-or-three scorer. The key is not abandoning the three-point shot — it is adding a reliable midrange counter that helps him become a true three-level scorer.Haize explains why the midrange is not dead, why bad midrange basketball is dead, and how a 10-to-15-foot pull-up could help Matas punish defenders who run him off the line. If Matas can become a better finisher through contact, attack closeouts, get to the free-throw line and add a reliable short midrange game, his Year 3 leap could change the Bulls' offensive ceiling.Then the show shifts to Jalen Duren, whose contract situation with Detroit could get very interesting. Duren struggled in the 2025-26 playoffs, but Haize explains why Bulls fans should not let one bad postseason erase the fact that he is a 22-year-old All-Star center who averaged nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds in the regular season. If Duren reaches unrestricted free agency in 2027, Chicago should be watching closely — but only after evaluating Nic Claxton, Caleb Wilson's shooting, and the long-term frontcourt fit.Finally, Haize connects the Sylvain Francisco story to Rob Dillingham. The Bulls nearly added a EuroLeague guard who could score, shoot, run pick-and-roll and organize the second unit. That should not discourage Rob — it should motivate him. If Dillingham can become a reliable bench scorer and secondary creator, he could save Bryson Graham from spending assets on another guard.
On today's episode of 3 Championship Drive, Lance Caporossi reacts to the latest Jalen Duren contract news, as ESPN's Tim McMahon described the negotiations between Duren and the Detroit Pistons as an “awfully nasty” negotiation. What does the tension mean for Duren's future in Detroit, and could these negotiations have long-term consequences for the relationship between the two sides?Lance then asks an important question about Ausar Thompson: Which player comparison best fits Ausar's game and potential? Lance breaks down the similarities, differences, and what Pistons fans should realistically expect from Thompson as he continues to develop.Finally, Lance looks back at two of the biggest stars in Detroit Pistons history, Grant Hill and Andre Drummond, and asks a fascinating question: Whose time in Detroit was tougher? Both players entered Detroit with enormous expectations, but their careers with the Pistons took very different paths.If you're looking for Detroit Pistons news, Jalen Duren contract rumors, Tim McMahon, Ausar Thompson analysis, Grant Hill, Andre Drummond, Pistons history, NBA rumors, and Detroit basketball, this episode of 3 Championship Drive has you covered.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow 3 Championship Drive on Spotify and subscribe on YouTube for daily Detroit Pistons coverage.

Rico made his return, and he & Valenti immediately tackled the ongoing, worsening issue of NIL in college football. They took this topic up to the second hour, where they touched on the lack of resolution between Duren and the Pistons before spending some time discussing with themselves and the people whether they're re-engaged with the Tigers. The guys wrapped up the show in the final hour with their thoughts on Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch and which is closer to returning from injury.
Valenti and Rico discussed their lack of understanding of the Pistons still not coming to a contract agreement with Jalen Duren. They quickly transitioned from this to whether they (and by extension, the people) are re-engaged with the Tigers amidst their solid stretch.

0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the panel 0:32 ... Show #260 is dedicated to Hall of Famer Michael Cooper who was drafted with the #60 overall pick in the 1978 NBA Draft. 1:24 ... LeBron James is now a member of the 76ers and World B feels the upcoming season will feature a wide open and competitive eastern conference. There are 11 legit playoff contenders for just 8 spots. 3:44 ... Bruce feels like LeBron made the move to Philly in a desperate attempt to win 2 more rings and tie Michael Jordan with 6 championships and convince people that HE, not MJ is the GOAT. Bruce feels that Sixers games will be "Must Watch" TV. 5:24 ... Depth and health could be issues for Philly. Ross also feels that many more coaches will be on the hot seat with so many solid teams competing for just 8 playoff spots. 6:22 ... Bruce feels that the Jalen Duren contract impasse in Detroit could have a lingering effect that might affect the morale of the team if Duren's teammates feel he is being mistreated by Pistons management. 7:22 ... What's the deal with the Orlando Magic? Is their window closed as far as being elite in the east? They still have talent, but their offense is still sub-standard. Bruce feels that the team will be in the mix for the Play In tournament but he does not have a great feeling about this team. 12:31 ... Jalen Brown is no longer a Celtic, so who is going to step up? From a leadership standpoint, it has to be Jayson Tatum, but others like Derrick White, Hugo Gonzalez, and Baylor Scheierman need to all have solid seasons for Boston to challenge for the top 6 in the east. 14:43 ... World B agrees with Bruce that Derrick White needs to step up. 15:57 ... Ross asks Bruce if Tatum is capable of being a "fiery" leader and Bruce doesn't really know if Jayson is capable of adjusting his personality and mindset from his "too cool" exterior to someone who shows more emotion. 17:45 ... Atlanta has added Lu Dort and Ross wonders if Dort can bring the type of toughness to the Hawks that a guy like Dillon Brooks brought to the Suns? World B loves Dort's perimeter defense and his presence gives the Hawks much better depth. World B also feels Jalen Johnson has to continue his progress for the Hawks to excel. Bruce thinks Dort is exactly the type of gritty veteran Atlanta needs and their fans will love. Ross loves the move and thinks Dort's physicality will really improve the Hawks' defense. 22:17 ... The Portland Trailblazers have a new owner (Tom Dundon) and he has made some really unsettling moves since taking over the franchise. There are rumors that the Blazers, who are battling with local Portland politicians over arena funding and other financial issues could end up leaving the city. That would be devastating to the city of Portland and would give the city a real black eye. 24:14 ... Ross is very angry about the way that Dundon has treated their broadcasters like Kevin Calabro and Tom Haberstroh because he watched a lot of Blazers games and really enjoyed their telecasts. 25:32 ... World B feels Dundon has been an embarassment and cites the bad contract he gave new head coach Micah Nori as a really poor way to treat their new coach. 27:37 ... Bruce feels for the Portland fans, who are among the best in the NBA and since the Blazers are Portland's only major league team, their fans would be devastated if the team flatlines and eventually leaves town. 29:05 ... If you were a fan, would you rather be a Warriors or Clippers fan? Bruce would rather be a 'Dubs fan but Ross and World B would rather be Clippers fans. Everyone explains why they feel the way they do. LA owner Steve Ballmer is the main reason that Ross and World B prefer the Clippers. 33:09 ... Will DeAaron Fox be on the Spurs the entire season? Bruce feels he will because of his contract, which calls for him to be paid more than $222 million over the next 4 seasons. It's such a bad contract that it's hard to see any team taking it on. 37:04 ... It's time for the always enjoyable "Card Challenge" segment where Ross picks random cards and asks Bruce and World B to react to the players spontaneously to prove their knowledge. Jalen Duren of the Pistons is first for World B. 38:19 ... Next up is Klay Thompson of the Mavericks for Bruce 39:25 ... Kyrie Irving of Dallas is next for World B. 40:20 ... Tyler Herro for Bruce 40:57 ... Carmelo Anthony for World B. 42:29 ... Bruce Bowen for Bruce .... they'll be together on Wednesday at the Basketball Hall of Fame for a "HoopHall hangout" session with the fans. 44:17 ...

Mike thinks Jalen Duren is delusional for what he is still asking for from the Pistons/other teams. Also, the guys talk about some pressing Big Ten Media Day questions, react to the Tigers blowing another big lead, and much more.
Mike and Rico gave listeners carte blanche in the final hour, hearing out callers and texters about their ongoing discussion over whether they think enough is enough and whether the Tigers need to sell at the deadline. They made sure to include a few comments on Marc Stein's report about Jalen Duren as well.
Mike and Rico opened the third hour with their 2nd "Can We Say That?" of the day. Then, they took a few more of your Tigers calls before addressing a report from NBA reporter Marc Stein about Jalen Duren potentially taking the qualifying offer from the Pistons, which would make him an unrestricted free agent after next season.
Mike and Brendan react to new reporting on Jalen Duren's contract demands. Apparently the young center wants a max deal of five years and $287 million. The guys are unimpressed, as they think Duren has not earned that type of deal, and Duren is quickly entering Tarik Skubal terriroty in terms of the seemingly unending uncertainty about his future. Which player are you more annoyed by at this point?
Jalen Duren is reportedly seeking $57 million per year from the Pistons, but Mike says he wouldn't even extend the four-year veteran for $40 million per year. Valenti is unswayed by Duren's age and All-NBA accolades and says Duren could easily be replaced.
In the wake of LeBron signing with the 76ers, Mike and Brendan continue to be cranky about public contract squabbling of Tarik Skubal and Jalen Duren. While Skubal seems to put his foot in his mouth routinely, Duren simply seems to be out of touch with how the rest of the NBA values his services. His pursuit of a max contract extension from the Pistons is a non-starter for Valenti.
Mike felt compelled to begin the show with his thoughts on a USA Today column from Nancy Armour about Caitlin Clark's flopping. He expanded on how he feels that this is part of a bigger issue with sports media before the guys did a CFB Blitz and discussed what NBA executives have to say about Jalen Duren not having a contract yet.
Mike and Rico welcome the people into their main third hour topic.
Mike and Rico pose an interesting question which includes 3/4 of the Detroit sports teams.
Mike and Rico spent a segment with their thoughts on comments from both MLB players and Commissioner Rob Manfred about the implementation of a salary cap/floor in the next CBA. Then, they quickly touched on where MLS promotion has been throughout the World Cup, and Rico tried to guess the teams in the league with only the city name provided. The guys wrapped the hour with their intended topic: which of the Skubal/Duren/Larkin situations are you most frustrated with?
