Episode Description from the Publisher

Jalen Duren is staying in Detroit. The Pistons and Duren have agreed to a five-year, $200 million fully guaranteed contract, finally ending a lengthy restricted free agency standoff. In this episode, I break down how the negotiations reached this point, why Detroit stood firm on its offer, the reported tension between Duren and the organization, and whether the standoff was worth it for Duren’s camp. I also discuss the expectations that now come with a $40 million-per-year contract and what locking Duren up long term means for Cade Cunningham and the Pistons’ core moving forward.
