Jason Maxiell doing what he does best
The Pistons have failed to arrive at a price for Jason Maxiell that both of them would agree at and now it looks like it won’t happen.
“(The team has) expressed that he is a major contributor to their success,” Maxiell’s agent, Richard Katz, said in a telephone interview on Friday. “What we differ about on, is what that is worth.”
The Pistons have offered the former first-round pick a three-year deal worth $15 million, with a team option for a fourth season.
A strong season could land Maxiell a more lucrative offer from another team. However, Katz made it clear that returning to the Pistons is Maxiell’s first choice.
“He loves it in Detroit, and is very comfortable,” Katz said. “We’ll just have to see how all this plays out.”
Maxiell brings energy, but is just a few inches too short to make the really big bucks. It may be goodbye.
