They made a trade today. Devin Carter to Atlanta. And now there's a report that they are meeting with Jalen Duran at the start of NBA Free Agency to work on a potential sign-in trade with the fucking Pistons. John Moran got traded to Portland, not Sacramento. There is so much to get into. How are we doing on NBA Free Agency Eve?
Unknown 1:18
Wonderful. Hey, the Kings introduced their rookies today.
Mo (co‑host) 1:21
Oh my God. And you sat down with all of them.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 1:23
Oh my God. There's just so much to process and like new information. It keeps coming out. Let's just start from the top. I'm eating my Chipotle burrito, enjoying it. And I see a tweet that almost felt fake to me from Chris Haynes saying, breaking due to a sizable distance apart negotiations, Detroit Pistons restricted free agent Jalen Duren will meet with the Sacramento Kings at the start of free agency with the intentions of structuring a sign and trade out of Detroit.
Hmm.
Mo (co‑host) 1:57
The intentions. We love the intentions.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 2:00
Yes. And then Sam Amick of The Athletic says, can confirm the Kings are expected to meet with Jalen Duren tomorrow to discuss sign and trade pass for him out of Detroit. Per league sources, the most likely scenario here would include Kings for Damanis Sabonis heading to Detroit. Now, Sam just put out a piece on The Athletic. Definitely subscribe to The Athletic. Here's what he just wrote.
Mo (co‑host) 2:23
Yep.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 2:23
The Jalen during situation is getting more interesting by the day. As we first report on Friday, the third team, all NBA big man was underwhelmed by Detroit's offer and restricted free agency. It almost immediately became a began strategizing about sign and trade scenarios out of town. And as we learned on Monday afternoon, the Sacramento Kings are first up on that list. League sources say the Kings are scheduled to meet with Durant at the Star Free Agency on Tuesday. The key here, per sources, is that Sacramento plans to pitch the Pistons on an offer that includes three-time All-Star center Damanis Sabonis heading to Detroit. It is unclear how the Pistons might see that scenario. but the Kings are clearly serious about the prospect of landing the 22-year-old.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 3:08
To this point, Detroit has been signaling a strong desire to keep Durin. There will likely be other teams involved as well, but the Kings have been given the go-ahead to take their best shot at getting Durin first.
Mo (co‑host) 3:19
Whoa. Um... I think it is always important to look at different wording when we are reading about some of these reports. And it's unclear how the Pistons might see that scenario. It's the one that obviously is highlighted, not literally, but in my mind, highlighted, bolded, bold, all the things. Because as soon as this happened, as Deuce was eating his Chipotle burrito, And he starts like screaming. Oh, my God. Beans and cheese.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 3:57
I sounded like Jim Ross.
Mo (co‑host) 3:58
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Can you believe it? Shaq Romero. Oh, my God. That was really good. So as that was happening, I was like, okay, okay. I appreciated your excitement of like, whoa, they're even in the conversation. Whoa, this is reporting as they're the first team that Jalen Dern is going to talk to in free agency, which obviously they've already started talking. No way. There's no way they've started talking. My point to all of this is it's exciting, but I need to see it happen. But I can stay in the excited realm right now if you want me to.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 4:36
Look, I'm not asking you. Feel how you want to feel.
Mo (co‑host) 4:39
This would be fucking awesome.
Deuce (Deuce Mason) 4:40
You know, I'm excited just in general because free agency is usually a fun time. In recent years, it hasn't been as fun, right? It's been quiet. Usually it's just trades and extensions. There seems like more movement right now. And for me, I personally didn't think Sacramento would be involved in anything besides potentially bringing back Precious Achua. They don't have cap space right now.
