http://www.pistonpowered.com/2014/02/andre-drummond-reportedly-very-close-with-pistons-owner-tom-gores-who-fired-maurice-cheeks/One player later said the problem was that Drummond did exactly what he thought he was supposed to do and Cheeks didnt understand that it was a product of miscommunication, not defiance.
Drummond and Gores communicate every couple of weeks about things, the player said, and seeing the franchise player unhappy probably didnt go over well with the owner. Within a couple of days, Gores was in southeast Michigan, and the process of dismissal began to take shape.
