Pistons may trade Jalen Duren; Alex Sarr is top target
Summary

The Detroit Pistons are considering a trade for center Jalen Duren, who remains a restricted free agent. Duren turned down a significant five-year, $200 million offer and has a one-year qualifying offer due soon. If dealt to the Washington Wizards, the Pistons are advised to pursue Alex Sarr in return. Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2024 NBA Draft, averaged 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds last season but recently underwent foot surgery. While talks of a trade are ongoing, Detroit has not accepted any proposals for Duren thus far.
