Marc Spears on Jalen Duren and Sacramento: "Scott Perry has a relationship with Jalen Duren dating back to when he was trying to get the Knicks to draft him, which they did, but they traded him to the Pistons...Duren likes Scott Perry a lot; he likes Sacramento a lot, but the Pistons, they're focused on bringing him back. They have some optimism, but it's complicated. I just hear that Jalen; it's not about money right now. He feels disrespected...there's a black cloud going into camp...they gotta try to fix it, and I don't know if they can in time"
