Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[DallasMaverick]

If I were DET, I'd lower my offer back to the original range ($180 millionish, if memory serves) right about now. 

It's so crystal clear that something's broken with this relationship, so my goal would be for him to play on the QO. At least then I'd know he was about to play hard.

The thing that’s broken in the relationship is that DET is only offering a measly $200m, while Jalen and everyone around him know that he’s worth far more than that.

So the offer was actually an insult, and he feels terribly disrespected.

See also Grimes, Quentin. And Kuminga, Jonathan. And a host of others.

Maybe about to be Davis, Anthony.
