The Pistons are giving Jalen Duren every reason to keep holding out

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren has reportedly seen contract extension offers from the team rise as his holdout continues. The franchise has reportedly increased its proposal from an initial $180 million over five years to around $200 million as negotiations have dragged on during the offseason.

Reports indicate the latest $200 million contract offer includes a controversial weight clause. Despite facing criticism from media and fans, Duren has maintained leverage by delaying his agreement to secure a more lucrative long-term contract extension.
