What happened: The hypothetical returns are Ryan Rollins and Myles Turner; Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Onyeka Okongwu; or Chet Holmgren and Jordan Hawkins. The three-team construction also moves Trey Murphy III and Duncan Robinson, while none of the frameworks assigns draft-pick compensation.
Why it matters: Each construction prioritizes floor spacing around Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson while ensuring the Detroit Pistons receive a center. The financial premise assumes Duren can command more than Detroit is reportedly offering.
By the numbers: Rollins averaged 17 points, four rebounds and five assists while shooting 47% from the field and 40% from three last season. Okongwu posted 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists with 38% three-point shooting, while Holmgren averaged 17 points and nine rebounds across 69 games.
What to watch: Duren's contract talks remain the next marker, with a resolution projected to be at least another month away. Any sign-and-trade structure would still require agreement on compensation.
