- The Detroit Pistons have their contract done with Jalen Duren.
- Duren and the Pistons agreed Thursday night to a five-year, $200 million deal, ending the dispute that had kept the All-Star center out of training camp.
- Duren’s agent, Chafie Fields, said the agreement is a fully guaranteed five-year, $200 million deal.
- The extension secures Duren in Detroit, but it also leaves the question that hovered over the negotiations intact: how quickly can the player and team move from a signed agreement to a working relationship?
- That question matters because Duren is not a marginal piece.
- He averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds last season, production that made him one of the Pistons’ most important young players.
- Duren is back, the money is real, and the dispute is over.
Jalen Duren deal gives Pistons a centerpiece, but not a clean finish to the story
