The 30-year-old holds a strong average of 19.0 points, 13.1 rebounds and 6.9 assists throughout five seasons in Sacramento, shooting nearly 60 percent from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Duren leaves, the Pistons can still give franchise superstar Cade Cunningham a great co-star who would allow them to continue competing with Sabonis.<\/p>\n<p>Sabonis is currently under a five-year, $216.6 million contract extension that runs through the 2027-28 season. With Duren seeking his very own max contract, both the Pistons and the Kings can truly land a potential sign-and-trade agreement.<\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/basketnews.com\/plus?utm_source=basketnews_com&amp;utm_medium=bn_plus&amp;utm_id=UA-259273-31&amp;utm_campaign=banners_free_content_for_not_members_bottom_6\" class=\"banners_paid_content_info_block_white banners-paid-content-info-block-white\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bn-plus-img img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bn-plus.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Thank you for reading us!
