Jalen Duren’s contract talks with the Pistons are heating up — he’s seeking a hefty $40M/year, while Detroit offers around $35M, with experts predicting a final deal near $37-38M.

With cap flexibility and long-term vision, Detroit can afford to wait — keeping Duren locked in is crucial for their future.
