NBA executives proposed a wide salary range when recently asked by The Athletic's Fred Katz what would be an appropriate contract for Detroit Pistons restricted free agent Jalen Duren. Contracts proposed by NBA executives speaking with Katz ranged from $230 million to $180 million over five years. Another executive proposed $190 million as a fair amount based on the Pistons' reported interest for Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves earlier this offseason, per Katz. According to Katz, the Pistons were willing to give Reaves a four-year, $177 million deal before he re-signed with the Lakers. ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported in a Tuesday appearance on NBA Today negotiations between the Pistons and Duren were "at a standstill right now" and could stretch "deep into August."
