D-Lo spends hour one talking about Jalen Duren, Kings and more on media day.
D-Lo talks Kings and Jalen Duren as his deadline to make a decision nears.
It's decision day in Detroit. Jalen Duren has until 11:59 PM ET tonight to sign his $9.6M qualifying offer, or take the Pistons' five-year, $200M deal, which no longer includes the weight clause. He's an All-Star and All-NBA center who has skipped media day and training camp, and fantasy drafts are happening right now.On today's stream we break down:
Eureka! Arike! History made in the W last night as the Wings stay alive... Jalen Duren must a decision on whether on Detroits qualifying offer tonight. We have the latest out of Motor city. My one-on-one exclusive with Joel Embiid... His vulnerable New York Liberty Star Sabrina Ionescu is stopping by to talk about taking down the 1 seed and look ahead to their series against the Dream. We are less than 12 hours from the deadline for All-NBA Center Jalen Duren. Shams is here to give us some insight on Duren's plans. I caught up with Joel Embiid at media day and he told me how he thinks LeBron and Jaylen Brown will fit in Philly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Could Jalen Duren's contract situation eventually change how the Chicago Bulls view their long-term center position? Could Patrick Williams find new value as a small-ball five? And which Bulls have actually earned long-term extensions?On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down three roster-building questions that could shape Bryson Graham's next phase of the rebuild.First, Jalen Duren.Detroit's contract standoff has created an interesting future possibility, but this is NOT a report that Chicago is pursuing Duren. The Bulls angle is simple: if Duren eventually reaches the market, should Chicago preserve enough flexibility to seriously consider a 22-year-old center coming off an All-Star and All-NBA season?And there's an important deadline distinction: October 1 is the qualifying-offer acceptance deadline—not an absolute deadline for Detroit and Duren to negotiate a long-term contract.The bigger Bulls question is how much better Duren would actually make Chicago compared with Nic Claxton, who is already under contract and now gets an entire season to prove whether he can become the defensive anchor this young core needs.Then we get into Patrick Williams.

What do you want the Pistons to do with Jalen Duren?
Sacramento's media day turned into a story about the people covering the players, after a live stream caught reporters discussing Ben Simmons' and Zach LaVine's appearances. John Browner shares what he learned from watching Lisa Salters work a Lakers locker room a decade ago, and lays down the rule every reporter should live by: if there's a microphone in the room, assume it's on. Beav joins and draws the line at access, not employment — pull the locker room credential, don't end careers. Then Jalen Duren: the Pistons offered five years and $200 million fully guaranteed, he wants the full $287 million max, and he didn't show up to media day. John says somebody in his family needs to tell him he's about to lose generational wealth, Beav warns about the injury that turns a holdout into a disaster, and both see a Nerlens Noel path if he keeps waiting. Plus Zion saying he's not where he wants to be, the Braves take Game 1 from Philadelphia (and Grant's Philly hate-watch continues), the White Sox win their first playoff game in years, and why the Padres, with a first-pitch Tatis homer at Petco, might be the most dangerous team in the bracket.

They debate what a potential deal could look like and whether a move for Duren could involve Anthony Davis or Alex Sarr.
Good afternoon — December 29, 2026. Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down a wild sports weekend and preview Week 4 of the NFL. The episode opens with a frank Patriots postmortem as Will finds himself living “in a deep hole” over Drake Maye's startling downturn. The guys dig into New England's offensive miscues, turnovers and penalties, whether a more conservative game-manager approach could help, and if turning to Tommy DeVito should even be on the table. Will also reveals his season-emotion parlay — Drake Maye and Josh Allen to each throw an interception (+239) — and explains why he's shifted to rooting for the defense. From there, Will and Zach work through their Week 4 NFL picks and betting angles, highlighting Steelers-Browns, Colts-Commanders, Patriots-Bills, Chiefs-Raiders and more. They debate which teams are legitimate, which might be fool's gold, and whether some of the league's early surprises can continue. They also revisit Thursday night disappointments, the Jets and Bears chaos, Jaguars-Bengals, Rams-Eagles, and the Cowboys-Texans collapse, including the coaching and clock-management decisions that helped shape the weekend. Zach adds one of his more confident bets of the week with Colts -3.5. The conversation shifts to the NBA and Media Day drama, including the Jalen Duren contract standoff and its potential fallout, the Clippers' latest injury problems with Brandon Ingram and Bradley Beal, and fresh discussion surrounding a potential $12–15 billion Las Vegas expansion franchise. Will and Zach look at what those developments could mean for rosters, contracts and the league's future. Then it's on to a chaotic college football weekend. The guys recap Iowa over Michigan, Florida's dominant performance against Ole Miss, LSU's bounce-back and the resulting playoff-picture shakeups before looking ahead to Alabama-Mississippi State, Ohio State-Iowa and Florida-Missouri. The episode wraps with quick hits from around the sports world, including college basketball, NHL, WNBA and MLB notes, plus one of the stranger promotions they've encountered: UCF's Hot Dog Club and its unlimited-hot-dog offering. Through it all, Will and Zach consider how fans survive the rough stretches — whether that means finding a betting angle, lowering expectations or simply hoping your team can lose by fewer than 10.
