Despite reports that the Pistons had tendered their largest offer yet to restricted free agent Jalen Duren — a fully guaranteed five-year, $200MM deal — it appears that there is still no movement on an agreement.
Restricted free agent Jalen Duren is expected to miss the Detroit Pistons' media day on Monday as contract negotiations remain stalled. Despite Detroit tendering a fully guaranteed five-year, $200 million permanent contract offer, the sides have not reached an agreement. Duren is also considered likely to miss the start of training camp on Tuesday.
Tensions reportedly stem from a weight clause included in the offer, alongside Detroit's luxury tax concerns. The Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks have expressed interest in Duren, but the Pistons currently refuse to pursue sign-and-trade options before Thursday's qualifying offer deadline.
