Extension for Maxiell?

[Pugz]

Maxiell on the clock:By the end of training camp (Oct. 31), Jason Maxiell will have to decide either to take a contract extension offer from the Pistons or refuse it and become a restricted free agent at the end of the season.

Dumars said Wednesday that informal negotiations were ongoing with Maxiell's Cincinnati-based agent Richard Katz . "There's nothing unusual going on and nothing new to report," Katz said in a brief telephone interview. "Nothing is imminent."

The Pistons have offered Maxiell a three-year extension worth approximately $15 million. Should he leave that contract on the table, he would play out the final year of his contract this season (earning $1.87 million) and become a restricted free agent -- which means the Pistons could match any contract offer to Maxiell. It's a win-win situation for the Pistons. Either they lock up a key reserve player through 2012, or they have a hungry player fighting for a contract this season with the power to match any other team's offer the following summer.

Thats the numbers I thought he'd get.
I think he'll be signing for sure.
