Jalen Duren plans to explore sign-and-trade scenarios after contract negotiations have stalled out with the Pistons, per @sam_amick (https://nytimes.com/athletic/7396928/202...ion-trade/).

There is a large enough gap in value from Duren’s camp and Detroit where he feels like it’s best to now play elsewhere.

Reportedly, he wants more than the 4 yrs /177 being offered.  Langdon already said he's not going to handcuff the team's future flexibility with high contracts. We'll see if he earns his chops.
