Great news, very very happy to keep the baby eater in town, as much as I appreciate Amir’s potential and respect Dyce’s heart, Maxiell is just a great baller to have on the team, still underated in my opinion, could be a starter on many teams.

I’m glad. This should mean he won’t end up as trade bait at the deadline.

Good truth be told I think he would have lost money if he had played the year out. Hope I’m wrong and Maxy dominates and now that I won’t have to worry all year about him getting great numbers and the pistons not being able to match an offer from another team

I’m happy. It does work out for the Pistons and Maxy.. besides.. he got 5 million more out of the Pistons. *Shrugs* Not sure if that’s good or bad.
