Pistons reportedly give Jalen Duren $40M contract update showing complete desperation
Jalen Duren reportedly turned down Detroit's revised four-year, $200 million offer and could take the $9.6 million qualifying offer by Oct. 1.
- Restricted free agent Jalen Duren rejected the Detroit Pistons' four-year, $200M contract offer as the Oct. 1 deadline approaches, leaving his future uncertain.
- The 22-year-old Duren earned an All-NBA Third Team selection last year after averaging a career-high 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds, establishing himself as a premier young talent.
- Insider Jake Fischer reported this week that "It's not going to be resolved by sign and trade," adding that Duren will not report to training camp without a contract.
- While the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings have shown interest as Duren's top suitors, Golden State Warriors analysts suggest the team should target the All-Star to pair with Curry.
- Duren could accept the Pistons' $9.6M qualifying offer by the Oct. 1 deadline, allowing him to test the market as an unrestricted free agent next year.
