Andre Drummond, Pistons want to ink extension, but disagree on when to make it official

Andre Drummond will definitely not be Greg Monroe 2.0. Phew!

At midnight Eastern Standard Time, the 2015-16 NBA free agency period opens. At that time, Greg Monroe will begin talks with quite a few teams, none of which is the Pistons. This is partially because two years ago when Monroe was first up for an extension, he and Detroit couldn't come to terms. Then, last year, Monroe took the somewhat unprecedented step of taking the qualifying offer so this year he could be a restricted free agent and have his choice of where he wanted to play.
