NBA Insider Points to Pistons MOST Likely Partner in Jalen Duren Trade & It’s Not the Kings or Bucks

NBA insider Sean Deveney of Heavy argues that the Atlanta Hawks are the most likely trade partner for Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, rather than the Sacramento Kings or Milwaukee Bucks. The Pistons and Duren remain in a contract stalemate, with Detroit reportedly offering $200 million while Duren seeks a five-year, $287 million maximum contract extension.

Jason Burgos writes that a hypothetical Hawks trade package featuring Onyeka Okongwu and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could entice Detroit. The report notes that Duren could otherwise sign a $9.6 million qualifying offer or agree to an amended long-term extension near $220 million.
