REPORT: The Clippers would likely request Jalen Duren or Ausar Thompson in any trade that lands Kawhi Leonard in Detroit, per @HunterPatterson.
(h/t @APH00PS)
The Pistons and Jalen Duren are expected to discuss a contract worth up to $220 million over five years, per @HunterPatterson
“There’s a general sense around the league, as things stand today, that negotiations likely began far apart and will eventually come to a middle ground in the ballpark of a five-year, $200 million to $220 million deal — landing Duren an average annual value of $40 million to $44 million. Duren underperformed during the postseason, but the fact remains he made his first All-Star appearance and All-NBA third selection.”

The list of people who left Ausar Thompson off both All-Defense teams, and some notable names they had instead.
Kendrick Perkins: Jaylen Brown
Frank Isola: Jalen Duren
Gary Washburn: Jalen Duren
Lorenzo Reyes: Neemias Queta
Steve McGehee: Lu Dort
Atsushi Suzuki: Lu Dort
RHP Troy Melton has been activated off the 60-day injured list and will start tonight’s game in Baltimore. RHP Connor Seabold has been designated for assignment.
Jalen Duren’s max with him making All-NBA now is 5yr/287.1 million (57.4 AAV) *I was told as of April 9th*
The most an opposing team can offer him in RFA is 4yr/177.4 (44.3 AAV).
I very much struggle to see a future where JD and his camp accept anything less than 40 AAV.
