Duren Stalls as Pistons Hold Firm | Detroit Pistons News

Jalen Duren’s blockbuster contract talks with the Detroit Pistons hit a major snag — the team flatly refuses to do a sign-and-trade, shutting down interest from the Lakers, Kings, and Celtics. Despite averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds while earning All-Star and All-NBA honors, Duren still wants max money, but the Pistons are holding firm, prioritizing keeping their star center over any quick deal. Meanwhile, they’ve been busy filling other roster holes, acquiring John Collins, Isaiah Joe, Taurean Prince, and Gary Harris — all while trading away Isaiah Stewart and Marcus Sasser. With no agreement in sight, Duren remains the last big-name restricted free agent without a contract, and the Pistons are ready to wait it out.
