Pistons continue contract negotiations with restricted free agent Jalen Duren

The Detroit Pistons are engaged in contract negotiations with restricted free agent Jalen Duren, which are expected to extend into August. Duren, 22, is seeking a maximum five-year contract worth $287 million following his selection to the All-NBA Third Team last season. The Pistons have yet to offer such a lucrative deal, as both sides remain firm in their positions. Duren's performance in the playoffs, where his statistics declined, may be influencing the Pistons' hesitation in contract discussions. The Pistons are also pursuing a rookie extension with Ausar Thompson, who is eligible for a five-year, $162 million deal.
