An open letter to Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond

We’ll start with the elephant in the room: you’re divisive. Every comment section, every Detroit Pistons discussion board, every Twitter post is split between the camp that’s excited you’ve hinted at opting out of your player option and plan to test free agency, and the camp that’s worried you’ve got wandering eyes after an offseason where large, coastal markets won out.

I’m with the latter.

People are worried you’ll be overpaid if given a max contract. You, I’m sure, feel you’ve earned one. I get that you wouldn’t want to be around a fan base that feels that way about you.
