take the deal bro. its fair

Intersting......
It's a low but fair offer to a very good bench player
If he takes it ......it will enable him to stay on a good team and compete for a ring
If he waits- I think some team will give him more $

It's a solid offer, but he should wait. First, Maxiell has double-double potential. Second, he's the only big in that frontcourt who can change the pace of the game with hustle. Third, Wallace and McDyess aren't getting any better, while Johnson is still not ready. There should be more money for him next year.

Detroit will match any offer made to Maxiell. Unless he assumes a starting role, and puts up some big numbers, the money on the table is more than fair.

He should take the money.....he is 6'7"........a good PF/C but 5 million is fair....he could get a little more but at 6'7".....its going to be for a weak time...then he'll get exposed....he maybe good with Sheed and others around but by himself....hmmmmm we dont know

Detroit will most likely match any offer made by another team especially if they succeed in moving Rasheed before the end of this season as they obviously plan to. For now, Joe Dumars is living up to his reputation of being fiscally responsible or cheap. Dyess is agagin fast. Maxiell has been an steadily improving player for Detroit the past couple of seasons. They will retain him.

Take that money and run. You can hide here in my house. Will smoke that joint together and play tetris.

No dont take it!!!!! Play like a beast this year and you'll get paid!!!!

ps....The deal is low!!!!!

Do It. Look what happened to Gordon.

People forget the big stars who are going to be on the market next year. If someone were to pay $10 mil a year, they have a lot of options to choose from. Being that not a whole lot of teams are going to spend big (2010 market is huge... LeBron, Wade, Bosh, etc.), it seems like the Pistons took into account next season's market.

Next season he will probably get a $7 mil offer, if any. So if he signs, Pistons pay $15 mil for three years. If Maxiell doesn't sign, and gets a $7 mil offer, they still pay about $15 mil for three years. Now let's say they sign him to the offer $7 mil to start off. Then the Pistons would have paid $21 mil for the first three years. Dumars is a pretty intelligent risk-taker.

Maxiell, Stuckey and Prince are the future cornerstones of this franchise.

Everyone else should be viewed as tradable, at this moment.

Oh, Kwame Brown is also a cornerstone... ha, not really.
