Is there a definitive break between Jalen Duren and the Pistons?
One could say yes, as per sources close to journalist Chris Baynes, the center has grown weary after the negotiations and could be looking for an exit after, previously, signing the qualifying offer (1 year and 9.5 million).
It should be noted that Duren and his agent have been pursuing a maximum salary that the Pistons are not willing to grant him.
We are talking about a maximum contract of 5 seasons and 287 million dollars.
An outrageous figure for a player who has not yet shown his best form in the playoffs.
Duren, who has completed his fourth season with the Pistons, has posted the best averages of his brief NBA career.
In 70 official games he has averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game.
