Jalen Duren and his camp reportedly didn’t take well to the Pistons’ $200M offer, per @sam_amick “Detroit’s most recent offer was a five-year, $200 million deal (no team or player options) that included weight stipulations that were not received well by Duren or his representatives. As of Sunday evening, league sources said there was no change in the talks – either for the team increasing its offer or Duren showing a willingness to take the most recent one. The Pistons are able to extend the qualifying offer deadline unilaterally, but it is unclear if they have any plans of doing so. Duren, who was also named an All-Star during his breakout 2025-26 regular season, is eligible for a five-year, $287 million deal.” (Via nytimes.com/athletic/7631226…)
