Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren plans to meet with the Sacramento Kings when free agency begins to pursue a sign-and-trade deal, according to NBA on Prime and The Athletic.
Contract Negotiations
Duren and the Pistons were far apart in recent negotiations, with the big man eligible for a five-year, $287.1 million extension. Duren’s camp was seeking $40 million per year. He averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in 70 games in the regular season.
The Athletic reported that the most likely scenario in a Duren sign-and-trade to Sacramento would involve Domantas Sabonis being sent to Detroit. Sabonis, a three-time All-Star center/forward, has career averages of 16.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 665 career games.
