Simple question for TL: Is playoff Duren worth a max contract? The answer will always be the same.

Regular season Duren isn't even worth a max contract.

You don't max a Center unless he's an MVP candidate. You laugh uncontrollably if an agent brings up the max for a rim running Center that isn't a good defender and can't shoot outside of 3 feet.

He's a starter and a high level role player. Average starter salary is 23M, so he should get just a bit more than that.

if someone wants to pay duren north of $30m, let them.

of course, we all know were going to pay duren.  were just fooling ourselves.

We all know they're going to sign him. I'm just asking for some intelligence. Let the market dictate his value and see what offers come in. Don't bid against yourself and just offer him 40+ right out of the gate.

A good new story about ex-Piston Vinnie Johnson. He gets a news bit on Yahoo Finance for his automotive parts business building out new production capacity on the old Palace site.

No it is not happening.  You are 100% making it up to draw action to your site.  Prediction markets are not like normal books, they don't win or lose.  They are more like stockbrokers and just collect a commission on each trade/bet.

The draft lottery selection show is this afternoon. 

I'm going to laugh if OKC jumps into the top 4.
