The Pistons need Jalen Duren, and Duren needs the Pistons. Now? The pressure is on

Deciding whether to bring back Jalen Duren was only the second biggest question for the Detroit Pistons this offseason, as they size up a vastly different Eastern Conference than the one that saw them run away with 60 wins and the No. 1 seed last season. The monthslong saga with Duren was over money, of course, but also power and respect. A lack of personal touch and a very direct -- if not harsh -- approach to the negotiations was one of the reasons it lasted so long.
