October 30, 2008 The Pistons and Jason Maxiell agreed on a $20 million, four-year contract extension, according to the AP.
Our View:Maxiell is a key member of the Pistons front court. Even though he is a big part of the team he doesn't hold much fantasy value.
October 29, 2008 The AP reports that the Pistons have offered Jason Maxiell a $20 million, four-year contract, but he is expected to leave the deal on the table before Friday's deadline to test the market as a free agent next summer.
Our View:Maxiell played 19 minutes in the season opener and is in the front court rotation with Rasheed Wallace, Amir Johnson, and Antonio McDyess. His lack of minutes will prohibit him from making a fantasy impact this season.
October 23, 2008 Jason Maxiell played a team-high 36 minutes in Detroit's 87-88 loss to Atlanta in the preseason finale on Thursday night. He shot just 4-for-13 on his way to 13 points, eight rebounds, a block and a steal.
Our View:Amir Johnson is still ahead of him in the rotation and as of now there's not a lot of reason to expect much better production than what he put up last season. Should he take over the starting role, that could all change.
