NBA Rumors: Pistons up Jalen Duren Offer, but Still No Deal as Training Camp Looms
The new proposal averages $40 million a year as Duren remains unsigned and his media day attendance is uncertain, ESPN reported.
- The Detroit Pistons raised their contract offer to Jalen Duren to five years and $200 million, a fully guaranteed proposal with no team or player options.
- This bid follows earlier offers in the $180 million to $190 million range that sources said Duren viewed as a question of respect rather than a business decision.
- After skipping a team minicamp and a Labor Day gathering, Duren's attendance at the September 28 media day remains uncertain, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Monday.
- Charania said "the sides have resumed communication after weeks of little movement," though they remain at an impasse before the October 1 qualifying offer deadline.
- The Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks have shown interest in the All-Star center, while the franchise recently secured Ausar Thompson with a five-year, $155 million extension.
