NBA Trade Rumors: Jalen Duren Makes His Decision, Plus De'Aaron Fox & More

The Detroit Pistons moved first and effectively ended the Jalen Duren trade chatter by agreeing to a five-year, $200 million contract with the 22-year-old on Thursday. It came about 90 minutes before the deadline to accept a $9.6 million qualifying offer. Detroit stayed with its offer rather than raising it, essentially waiting Duren out, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes. The piece also reviews why the main trade suitors were unlikely: Sacramento’s sign-and-trade idea around Domantas Sabonis, Milwaukee’s potential Myles Turner fit, Atlanta’s Onyeka Okungwu swap, and the Wizards reportedly being ruled out.
