Duren feels a lot like the Ayton situation in 2021
Ayton met with the Pacers and got the max offer sheet after the pacers desperately tried to offer Turner for Ayton, after the Suns kept trying to keep Ayton for around 20 million a year. They caved and the contract aged badly next season.
Ayton and Duren also had similar playstyles and success, idk if yall remember the Valley Oop.
All this to say, I don’t think the Pistons should offer more than 30-35, it feels like it’ll age bad
