No.  He is signed for one more season.

Duren has 0 total second chance points in the Cavs series so far.  He averaged 6 second chance points per game in the regular season.

I'm not sure how to just link the video, so here's a link to the post on Reddit. KMart coming at Duren hard.

Big drop

They should have won games 3 and 5. 

We should be talking about the Knicks today.

Exactly.

I said in the other thread, but the Pistons are being forced to play on "Hard Mode" and spot Cleveland 15pts every game. It's kind of obvious and ridiculous and someone should be pressing the league about the disparity rather than just debating the one missed foul call on Ausar.

The cavs have two guys who are foul-getting machines: harden and mitchell.  those guys get respect and consequently get foul calls.  a majority of which they do not deserve (how many times can harden be allowed to run right into someone, throw back his head in a ridiculous fashion, and then get a call?  or kick out his feet on a jumper and get a call?).

the pistons have one superstar and one wanna be.  cade can get calls but doesnt sell it like harden/mitchell and consequently doesnt get as many BS calls as they do.  he also eschews contact at the basket sometimes (that said, he should be getting MORE calls for sure).  duren is supposed to be superstar #2 but as weve all pointed out, he isnt that and has been useless and gets no respect from officials.

the pistons are also very physical on defense.  sometimes too much so.

the league isnt cheating for cleveland, its cheating for mitchell/harden.  like it always has for superstars.

which - again - is another reason why the pistons need another star next to cade.  duren is not that player.

I'm still holding out hope....but why do they have Taps on loop on every elevator here?

Ouch! And to think it's a contract season. He is costing himself a lot of dinero
