Andre Drummond's Max = 5 years $120 million?

[Snakebites]

how much does deAndre jordan get?

Less than Drummond?

[TurboTitan]

he deserves it

[kurtis48239]

Pay that man his money.

-- Teddy 'KGB' in Rounders

Check,Check,Check all night,he trip me!! Love that movie.

Offer him that and hope that he takes it.

Hope that Monroe leaving money on the table to get out of Detroit doesn't become a trend.

Whatever the max might be, that's what Drummond will be seeking, and hopefully by then he'll have shown enough to demonstrate that he deserves it.

nobody can offer Drummond the amount the Pistons can. It's not the same situation as Monroe. He's not going to leave a 5 year max (if offered) on the table. He would get his QO and then a 4 year deal a year later, leaving a lot of money on the table.

Agreed, He will be here for the next 7 years. Hes not passing up a 5 year max

I don't think of Drummond like a couple of poster here think of him. I see a bigger and more athletic Ben Wallace. If you think that's worth the max then I'll probably agree with you.

Right. Because LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Howard, etc didn't pass up a 5 year max.... You guys have your heads in the clouds if you think that Drummond staying is an absolute guarantee.

None of those players had to pick between the qualifying offer and a max contract. Your analogy doesn't work because they all got max contracts the next year anyway. They simply didn't get that extra guaranteed year at the end. They didn't sacrifice anything, where as Drummond would be sacrificing millions.

It's not between a QO and a max deal. It's between a max deal with the Pistons or being traded and taking a 4 year deal with another team.

We aren't going to trade him.

If he wants out, he'll get out. You guys act like players have no say. It's downright dumb to pretend like he's stuck here for the next 7 years no matter what. If this team doesn't improve, don't go expecting an unhappy Olympian and superstar center to want to remain on a subpar team.

Kevin Love didn't want it. Dwight Howard didn't. Pau Gasol got out. Superstars get what they want. That's how the NBA works.

You're comparing him to players who weren't coming off their rookie contracts. You're overreacting because of Greg Monroe accepting the QO. However, what you're failing to see is that Greg Monroe is by far the exception, not the rule.

Like Natopher said, Youre talking about players who played 8 years with theyre teams. Which is exactly what we are talking about with Drummond. Hes not going to pass up on a 5 year max but im sure hes gone after that lol.

I want him back as much as the next guy. But to pretend like there is no possibility that he leaves is somewhat comical. Remember a few months ago when everyone was saying: "There is absolutely, positively, no way Monroe ever signs the QO." And there my point stands. Drummond isn't GUARANTEED to be here. Sure it's most likely, probably 75% chance at least, that he at least starts an extension here in Detroit. But it all hinges on this team going from lottery to playoffs real soon, and it's not looking promising right this moment.

But sure, since some people throw a fit when someone suggests that their golden child could leave, then I guess no one should bring it up. It's all roses and bubbles here with the Pistons....

[LetsGetSerious]

I can already see how this is going to play out with the casual fans..

Based on that & the current regimes complete swing & miss on Monroe, Ill just say it in advance..

Thanks for everything Dre, you gave us some great years, I hope you go somewhere where they will appreciate you..

smh

To be fair, we screwed up the Monroe thing. If the goof troop sticks around for a couple more years & is still running the show with their 23% 3pt shooting you can bet Drum leaving is a very real possibility.

Hopefully Drummond will prove he's worth that extension next season. He's shown great promise, but hopefully he makes a leap with SVG and a new offense/defense next season.
