REPORT: Jalen Duren skips Pistons Training Camp... & More NBA Media Day Questions

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit, Locked On Mavs) & Camille Davis (@CamilleMonae, Locked On Bucks) open with Jalen Duren skipping Detroit Pistons Media Day after declining a 5-year, $200 million fully guaranteed offer, and ask how long Detroit can let the distraction linger. The hosts question how Jaylen Brown's role takes shape alongside Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James, and Joel Embiid with the Philadelphia 76ers. They turn to Tyrese Haliburton and an Indiana Pacers team that fell to 19 wins after a Finals run, and whether the league is overlooking them. In Washington, they debate how Anthony Davis and Trae Young can help sort out the pecking order of a crowded Wizards young core. The conversation shifts to life after LaMelo Ball for the Charlotte Hornets and how Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes will fit together in Toronto. The hosts fire off questions for the Celtics, Nets, Knicks, and Hawks before calling this an evaluation year for the Orlando Magic offense, the Chicago Bulls, and the Milwaukee Bucks' search for a new core.
