  "account": "The Detroit Pistons and Jalen Duren have finally reached an agreement on a $200 million contract offer, ending a months-long dispute. Initially, Duren was offered the deal, but he declined due to a weight clause in the contract. The organization removed the clause at the last moment, making the offer more attractive. Agents and sources confirmed that Duren has agreed to sign the five-year, fully guaranteed contract to return to the Pistons. This marks the conclusion of a prolonged restricted free agency dispute between the two sides. Duren will join the team in training camp soon, with the first preseason game scheduled for Monday.",
  "summary": "The Detroit and Jalen Duren have been going back and forth for most of the summer. The two sides have finally agreed on a new contract.",
