NBA free agency rumor: Detroit Pistons could lose 6-foot-10 center to disastrous contract negotiation
Jalen Duren remains an unsigned restricted free agent as talks with the Pistons stall after Detroit's initial offer left him "underwhelmed." Chris Haynes says Duren could accept his $9.6 million qualifying offer out of frustration, though a shorter bridge deal in the two-and-one mold remains the more likely outcome. The Lakers and Kings have both met with Duren, but Detroit maintains it is confident a deal ultimately gets done.
