Why the Pistons shouldn’t extend Andre Drummond’s contract

Me at the Detroit Free Press:

Andre Drummond is eligible for a contract extension this off-season, and Pistons owner Tom Gores already has called him “a maximum guy.” Drummond is the Pistons’ franchise player, and it’s imperative that they secure him long-term. This summer is absolutely crucial for handling him, which means that the Pistons should have one priority:

Not extending Drummond.

Yep, you read that right. The Pistons shouldn’t extend Drummond.

Obviously, the Pistons unilaterally can deny Drummond an extension, and that might work just fine.
