The Lakers clearly moved on, making a big trade for Walker Kessler and spending money elsewhere.Chicago Bulls v Detroit PistonsGettyDETROIT, MICHIGAN – FEBRUARY 02: Jalen Duren #0 of the Detroit Pistons celebrates a second half dunk while playing the Chicago Bulls at Little Caesars Arena on February 02, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan.

Still, Duren will make plenty of money with his first non-rookie-scale deal. Even with the playoff struggles, Duren had a strong enough season to warrant a notable deal.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJalen DurenGettyCLEVELAND, OHIO – MAY 09: Jalen Duren #0 of the Detroit Pistons waits during the fourth quarter
