A new rumor suggests the Detroit Pistons plan to make a move this summer that could doom their roster for years.
On Friday night, the Pistons will be in Cleveland looking to avoid elimination for the fourth time in these playoffs and send their series with the Cavaliers to Game 7. It is a stunning position to be in again after earning the No. 1 seed in the East and barely surviving the Orlando Magic in Round 1.
Yet, it isnât the only shocking thing about this postseason for Detroit. The shocking disappearance of Jalen Duren over the first two series has mystified NBA analysts. After a breakout season that earned him All-Star honors for the first time and possibly an All-NBA spot, the center has been a shell of the player fans saw throughout the regular season.
His playoff numbers this year are even worse than last year, when he got to taste NBA playoff basketball for the first time against the New York Knicks. Durenâs underwhelming play has set up a tough decision for the Pistons this summer when the 2022 first-round pick is a restricted free agent.
Will the Detroit Pistons be forced to give Jalen Duren a max deal?
