I have always rooted for players to get everything they can from the owners, but their collective share of the revenue is set.

Duren getting another $7M doesn't so much take away from the owner, it takes away from what Ausar and his other teammates can get.

I despise the aprons but hey, the players agreed to it, so it is what it is. Take your fucking generational wealth and get to work already. 190 million!

Pistons in a tricky position with Duren and then Ausar - two really really good players who aren't superstars, but want to be paid like it... - By jjwalker September 16, 2026 at 04:48:10 PM
- Agree. Duren disappeared during the playoffs. You cannot reward that. And Ausar is Rodman. Needs to develop an offensive game of he wants superstar money* - By UMdad September 16, 2026 at 05:20:55 PM
