With the season approaching and no deal agreed, Detroit has raised its offers to Jalen Duren, who wants a contract near the maximum. NBA insider Brett Siegel says the Pistons may consider a sign-and-trade; the Kings are reportedly interested.
Siegel said Sacramento would still be open to adding Duren. The article calls the Kings Detroit’s only realistic trade partner and frames Domantas Sabonis moving to the Pistons as the likely price; it cites earlier reports that Detroit was reluctant because it did not believe in Sabonis.
Rumors cited by the article say Duren feels slighted after Detroit extended Ausar Thompson for more money and question why both Thompson brothers received extensions before him; Amen Thompson signed a similarly expensive extension with Houston. The article presents these as rumors, not direct comments from Duren.
