00:03hello one and all got a newsy day we'll get right to it rico i uh i don't really know
00:12how to say
00:13this to you but uh i have a a rather large postage stamp for jaylen duran's ass all i have
00:22to do is
00:23apply it so if you could just point us in the direction of jaylen duran's ass we'll just
00:29slap that thing right on there you want to go to cow town i'll buy your flight i'm gonna hope
00:35that's
00:35a self-adhesive stamp and i'll just leave it at that no i want them gone so bad i'll apply
00:40it with
00:40my own hands i don't care like i i know we're gonna get into the the whole nuts and bolts
00:47of it
00:47but i want to start like 30 000 feet above view before you just write this off as well it's
00:54just
00:54a leverage okay there's truth in that but understand flirt hard enough i wish david were
01:03here flirt just enough you end up with a baby if you flirt well you saw auto and please he
01:11probably
01:11had a baby last night with the tigers winning my point is you flirt with sacramento and they give
01:17you that offer it is no guarantee you get to come home you might get boomerang so you go well
01:25what's
01:25he supposed to do he's restricted here's here's what i would tell you value winning value still making
01:32more money than you could ever effing spend and cut the charade this is the problem when you're repped by
01:39an nfl agent not an nba one this is the problem when you start buying your own bull jive this
01:47is
01:47the problem with the cba that somehow the all nba team is this whiz bang pow penis enlargement and now
01:55you're somehow due 300 million none of these things are true the reality is he's about a 25 to 30
02:02million
02:02dollar player a year in today's economy if he wants 44.5 or heaven help us rico heaven forbid he
02:11thinks
02:11he's worth the the maximum maximum then then ready
02:18posted stamp applied with nona's two gentle hands i'm serious i i think i think less of jaylen durin
02:27because sacramento is a death sentence is that money really worth it ask yourself that and then
02:34for all of you in detroit who take immense pride in players who want to win and the pistons culture
02:42as we zoom in the pistons culture is about team and winning and dedication to it and the process
02:50if he is so desperate for the extra cheddar that he's willing to potentially sign away his life for
02:59it ask yourself if you really want him here in the first place i think you're missing something too
03:06mike i i agree with you when i when i heard that news look at him he is wearing no
03:11eagles hair
03:13that's real hair when i when i heard the news about durin i had to think that the pistons are
03:19like cool
03:20all right sure shop yourself come back let us know what we need to do we'll sign it and you
03:27can go
03:27think about this your value is so bad that you have to shop yourself to sacramento you're you're not
03:37talking to the big boy teams you're not going to miami you're not going to boston you're not going
03:43to new york you're not going to la san antonio okc saying hey guys you need me to be the
03:51final piece
03:51to the puzzle you're going to sacramento you're starting over they're probably the only ones who
03:58picked up the phone and said all right sure they're also one of the few teams that has a couple
04:05of sign
04:05and trade possibilities that fit we can get to it i just no and you're right by the way i
04:11i mean he's
04:12i mean his he's aiming so low like you're not even trying to aggressively say i'm going to go to
04:19this
04:19team and try to force something because this team needs me so badly yeah that they'll make it happen
04:25now again the lakers are another team in the mix we'll see here's my point to you if the kings
04:31or
04:32lakers offer four at 177 do you want him back my answer is no flatly now a sign and trade
04:43is is a
04:44little different the sign and trade they can you can do some different things where he could negotiate
04:51a deal and you could sign him above that and then trade him the point i'm making is i i'm
05:00with rico in
05:01this regard when when you start whoring around town with the lowest rung that makes me question
05:08who you are because it's not as if the pistons are offering a sub sandwich hey they're not offering
05:15at four at 177 what do you think they're offering you want to have some fun with me and just
05:20venture
05:20a guess is it four at 120 you know 30 a year i was gonna say probably yeah probably around
05:29that i was
05:29gonna say maybe four at i was gonna say maybe like four at one can you pick a number please
05:37four so we're back okay four at one third fine if you are so desperate in the aggregate to get
05:44that
05:44extra 40 you're 22 years old you do your job do you know what you're gonna get paid at 26
05:49you might
05:49be a hundred million dollar player where the cba could go that makes me think you're a loser
05:55so i agree with your point i'm just raising the ante i hope that this is my dream i hope
06:01the kings
06:02make an offer and i hope the pistons have the wherewithal to go see ya now sign and trade i
06:11don't
06:11share the opinion of kevin o'connor and i know what's coming people who didn't even know who kevin
06:16o'connor is are now going to quote him as if he's jesus himself i'm not doing this oh sabonis
06:22is a
06:23terrible fit with k cool um i i think it's team building and just because sabonis isn't a lob
06:32threat sabonis is one of the top five rebounders in the league you'd be getting him off of an injury
06:37riddled season but in general he's been about 20 and 14 a night for sacramento his shot is streaky
06:44but he can shoot it i'm taking him and i'm gonna ask for a first rounder with him i'll make
06:50the kings
06:50bleed that's right that's a win-win to me because you don't want to be here so fine go it's
06:55just one
06:55of those what i want to hear that from the people i want to hear that from the piston fans
06:59if he gets
07:01four at 177 from the kings are you matching answer not you them i know what you tell that hey
07:11jalen
07:11great negotiation hell of a deal and if you need the math here's some luggage for four at 177
07:18is essentially 45 million dollars a year the answer is no it's always been no
07:27two four eight five three nine 97 97 now if you want to bring him back at 44 million dollars
07:34a year
07:34doesn't make you a bad person it doesn't mean you're you're goofy or anything just we have
07:39different opinion it's why i said the four at 130 because initially i would have said four 120 but you
07:45know what you're cage boy you did help us do some stuff i'll give you a little bit of a
07:50reward i'll
07:50sweeten the deal a little bit 32.5 a year right okay but you i'm not paying you anywhere close
07:57to 40
07:57million and yeah when you're shopping you don't have you shopping at the red light district you're in the
08:01stop sign district you're in sacramento okay think about that if if jalen brown said i want to come to
08:07detroit and he's talking with trajan right now the pistons are trying to find ways to make this thing
08:13work you went to sacramento and that makes me think less of them i'm shooting you straight yeah your
08:19value is not what you think it is no i think there's bad advice here and i also question the
08:25player because ultimately you go okay look let's say he believes he's worth 45 a year he wants 45 a
08:33year
08:33he wants the pistons to sign him five at something that begins at a 200 million dollar note fine
08:40ask yourself is that money worth never winning a basketball game again never being surrounded by a
08:50true all-nba player like cade cunningham leaving a city that you're comfortable in that people actually
08:56take up for you even in times they shouldn't when you make that calculus and it just becomes about
09:03the money i earn the right to call you a loser that's losing behavior and i question whether
09:09you want it here because to rico's point man there's a lot of fish in the sea you end up
09:17flirting with
09:17sacramento you get an std well no part of that you go to sacramento as an rfa you're getting the
09:26crabs
09:26that's a problem extra money for some crabs i don't know man it ain't deep sea fishing that's
09:33some teams have a city connect jersey they have a syphilis jersey you don't want it i just you can't
09:39go to you can't even flirt with sacramento on the odd chance they might say yes that they might because
09:45if you this is the only way you can do this great health care
09:52if the pistons have said do whatever you want to do we're matching no matter what
09:59only way i could get by it but reverse engineer at rico wouldn't make any sense for the pistons to
10:04say
10:04that they could have just got the deal done at 4177 or not it just makes no sense the pistons
10:11were
10:11coming in low balling because we've heard that their numbers were so vastly different that he went to the
10:18one place that would offer him a lot and hey remember when you said this you gotta honor this
10:25because you know what well you do wonder too now okay i'm nerd can i nerd out for 10 seconds
10:30you do wonder if the shift from sabonis to durin is because they got a cuff and because they will
10:41have
10:41a ja morant like point guard that that durin fits that a little better again i don't think it's a
10:48bad fit with sabonis it's just maybe they want to start over where sabonis is headed towards 30
10:55durin is 22 and you just took the future point guard of your team and you want to put them
11:00together
11:00i'm spitballing here when i saw that mike the first thing i thought of and ironically enough it happened
11:06around the fourth of july many many years ago was when the pistons tricked the chicago bulls into
11:12taking ben wallace and saying you know what hey we got ben wallace good luck with that yeah take it
11:18we're not gonna match i think it'd be a grave error to pay this guy 44.5 million dollars a
11:24year
11:24if the kings truly offer 4177 your answer should be no but you guys tell me what you want you're
11:32the
11:32paying customer 248-539-9797 we'll get to your phone calls next it's 97 1
