A former NBA executive’s BORD$ model projection for Jaden Ivey is SHOCKINGLY low — just $10M for the upcoming season. That’s a far cry from the massive extension numbers some fans expected, and it could completely change how the Pistons approach his contract talks.
Meanwhile, Jalen Duren’s projected value sits at $25.3M, lining up almost perfectly with a potential 5-year, $125M extension.
In today’s episode, we break down:
– Why Ivey’s number is so low (and what it means for his future in Detroit)
– How Duren’s extension talks could move quickly
– What cap strategies the Pistons could use to lock in both players smartly
– Comparisons to other deals, like Jarrett Allen’s contract
– Whether the Pistons should pay now or wait
