Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
The Detroit Pistons have moved from the initial five-year, $60-million offer to Greg Monroe, and an offer that’s slightly better than the four-year, $54-million deal that Josh Smith signed last summer is on the table.
The two sides have yet to agree on a deal and negotiations are not ongoing.
Monroe could still accept the qualifying offer of $5.4 million. Deadline for the qualifying offer is Oct. 1.

What? Why aren't we saving the 5 year deal for Drummond?

Exactly what I'm wondering. Andre Drummond is our Franchise player and we should put him first in all circumstancesMrBigShot wrote:What? Why aren't we saving the 5 year deal for Drummond?

Re: Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
It's worded weirdly. I think what's meant to say is the Pistons have moved away from their initial contact offer which was $60million over 5 years and have made a contract offer slightly larger than Smith's $54million over 4 years. That means the new offer is probably around $55-58million over 4 years.

My understanding is that each team can only EXTEND one player for 5 years. Since Moose has actually reached free agency and does not therefore have a contract with us at this moment, we could sign him for five years while still extending Dre for five as well. Yes, it's all stupid semantics, but they're important semantics when it comes to keeping Drummond.

If he doesn't accept 4-54 he's delusional about his talent... this is only a 3 skill player... with real deficiencies.

That being said, I'm actually very worried that he will accept it.

If he snickers a little we got to move him, he's never even played for a winning team. He lacks defense too much for that money as it is.

Re: Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
Bit concerned with the figures being mentioned lately.
Length of contract isn't really the issue but a $14 mil per deal is the high end...he's got no other offers and the QO isn't a smart choice so why are we offering top dollar?

Re: Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
So we offered $55+ million over 4 years to give him a bigger deal than Josh Smith... yet Monroe hasn't shown he adds much to make this team a winner... its a more than fair offer with what he has accomplished.
If Monroe REALLY thinks he is worth more, he should take 4 years $54 million with the last year being a player option.... play 3 great years and earn a MAX deal... because he hasn't earned one yet.

Monroe's been delusional about his talent since he's been in the league.....

Re: Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
I think it's pretty obvious this isn't about money anymore. Greg really just does not want to play with Josh Smith

I'll quote this for those that missed this. Because I tend to lean on this side of things.

Re: Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
I think it's Falk that's doing all the talking. He probably thinks he can get Greg a better contract in time. If they don't end up finding a better contract, the offer still stands. I hope Stan lowers his offer later. That contract is ridiculous. Monroe isn't worth it at all.

Re: Pistons, Greg Monroe Negotiations Stall After $60M Offer
Agree with the Falk comments. Very possible Falk has told Monroe to just chill and not say ANYTHING to the press, and that Falk will keep pushing for the highest offer, but will settle in mid to late September and likely sign with the Pistons. If they were going to sign the QO to be totally free next year, wouldn't they have already done that?
