Duren’s $40M Gamble vs Pistons | Detroit Pistons News

The Lakers traded big to land Walker Kessler, leaving Jalen Duren — a dominant All-Star who averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds — stuck in negotiations with the Pistons over a deal worth $40M+ per year. Detroit’s offer? Just $35M annually. With training camp looming, Duren’s holding out, risking his qualifying offer to become an unrestricted free agent next summer — potentially walking away from a $170M payday. If talks collapse, the Pistons could face a major regret for not being more flexible, while Duren gambles that his value exceeds what Detroit’s willing to pay.
