Sam Quinn: "If the Kings and the Pistons are going to make a trade, Domantas Sabonis would presumably be going back to Detroit. Domantas Sabonis is making the max. You can't just match that with $29.5 million from Jalen Duren. You'd have to presumably put in Duncan Robinson because he's the only salary in that range that closes that gap. And even then, I believe that's not quite enough. You maybe would have to put in a Gary Harris or Taurean Prince.”

In his latest Bleacher Report update, NBA insider Jake Fischer revealed that both sides have taken a significant step since the Pistons cleared key cap space via the Caris LeVert trade, which could be allotted to Duren's next contract. "There's been momentum and positive direction between Duren and the Pistons. And ever since that Caris LeVert trade for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris, that opened up the cap space for Detroit to give Jalen Duren his 25% max contract that he is looking for," Fischer claimed. "I do think they're getting close. That's my latest understanding of that situation. I don't know exactly how close or when to expect it, but definitely closer than when they were before that trade. And I think that trade was indicative of some positive movement between Detroit and Jalen Duren."


Per the NBA’s transaction wire, a lot of Pistons trades are now official. They’ve acquired John Collins, Taurean Prince and Gary Harris and traded Isaiah Stewart, Caris LeVert and Marcus Sasser.

Keith Smith: Factoring in the reported contracts for John Collins, Kevin Huerter & Javonte Green and the Gary Harris/Taurean Prince acquisitions, I've got the Pistons at about $42.8M under the luxury tax. That's enough room to give Jalen Duren a 25% of the cap max without going into the tax.

Hunter Patterson: Can confirm, per a league source, the Pistons are trading Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Bucks for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris. Detroit also creates a $15 million trade exception.
