Jalen Duren in RFA: What Would Your Team Offer?

[PistolPeteJR]

Depending how things go with Ayton - I predict he'll be underwhelming - Lakers would have obvious interest in both him and Kessler as RFA's.

The Lakers shouldn't look to acquire him. He's not a good defender, and any team with Luka on it, particularly this Lakers team, absolutely needs a defensive anchor down low.

So this is a divisive topic on the Pistons board right now, and I want to solicit opinions from the T&T Board.

Duren wasn’t extended. He’ll hit restricted free agency next summer. What might your team offer him, if anything, contract-wise?

I’m not trying to influence the outcome in any way, so I’m not posting stats or any anecdotal stuff. Just want opinions.

I refuse to share my opinion on Duren with anyone. It's a secret.

We haven't seen many restricted free agents sign offers with other teams in recent years. If a team tries to poach him away it is going to be the max.

Most likely he will be in the Cam Thomas, Josh Giddey, Kuminga situation.

As a Wizards fan, I agree with Nate, I would try to overpay at a descending salary. We don't have anyone we need to pay for awhile and he would be a great fit next to Sarr.
