Episode Description from the Publisher

Kendrick Perkins is already questioning whether the Detroit Pistons can stay near the top of the Eastern Conference, saying Detroit could fall out of the top six after last season’s 60-win campaign. Anthony breaks down Perkins’ argument, whether the Pistons have enough offensive firepower, and why the continued development of Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson matters so much. Plus, we take a closer look at the structure of Jalen Duren’s new five-year, $200 million contract, including the Year 2 salary dip, the timing of Ausar Thompson’s extension, and what the deal says about Detroit’s long-term salary-cap planning Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
