Ivey should get paid $28-$33mil per year. That is market value. We should not risk offending the core young guys by lowballing them. The issue is the risk in making it 4 or 5 years. Give him 3 years with the last year as a team option. We need tradable contracts too like Jalen Green situation. We only have Cade, Tobias and Stew as tradable contracts. We are an over the cap team now but a long way from the aprons paying Ivey and Duran short term doesn't hurt the team
Espero que el Piston renuncie a Malik Beasley con ese puesto abierto en la lista. Y creo que ese es su plan final.
Yeah, Ku….I think you're spot on with that twenty, to twenty four million before the season starts… But if he averages at eighteen five and five and hitting game winners like he was before he got hurt, in addition to improve defense which he was showing last year somewhat, I would think between twenty five, and twenty eight is what he would get, and what he would be worth in my opinion…. Based on other similar contracts around the league…
I think Ivey will be traded this year so Piston's offer partially will be based on making his contract attractive to a trade partner.
$120M
Nope, Ivey is below , a 18 million
Monk who is proven. Malik likely does not ever get his contract ever again.
Definitely not no 30+ mill. I think 75 mill 3yrs is a safe bet.
Sasser is solid. They just use him wrong. Sasser should play Beasleys old role. They won’t do it though. Don’t understand the levert signing at all.

Rather trade I’vey than Sasser too much questions around Ivey
I've been saying that about Sasser since the season ended. It's clear he's not a big part of the Pistons future plans and equally clear that he can fill that bench scorer role efficiently. He's exactly the type of guy who is a $10M a year guy like that model says Ivey is.
23 is my sweet spot for JI
Pritch is a better defender
Sasser reminds me of Pat Mills.
20-24 per for Ivey sounds right to me, as things stand
I'm still skeptical about Sasser. Defensive limitations because of his size, good on-ball scorer but less so at catch and shoot (so more difficult to play the 2), not a playmaker/point guard (so more difficult to play the 1). He's good in certain ways, but I'm not sure you can make team construction decisions around his skillset. I dunno, maybe his career will go on to prove me wrong.
Saddiq Bey getting hurt was such a harsh blow. He seemed on his way to being the next really good player the Pistons gave up on.
Nice guy JI! I say they pay him now before he shows out cause the way last season was going he was starting to heat up
IVEY is not a trade option.i wish yall stop saying he is and let him play first atleast this year.Yall gonna crush him and his spirits if yall trade him,hes got ties to the D.(Detroit)😅😅
If Ivey can stay healthy he should get at LEAST $20M…
Also, I really like Marcus Sassers’ game. He gives effort on defense too. I feel like he could be our TJ McConnell or Pritchard 💯
I'm not expecting much from my SF 49ers, my SF Giants are cooked for the season so I need more of my Deeetroit Pistons content!! Can't wait for the Season to Start! Go Pistons!
Any older Pistons fans on here? Doesn't Sass remind you of Vinny Johnson from the Bad Boys era?
Ivey gives the same production….$50-54M/2year deal…..Easily!…..Ivey is special and people forget he has the clutch gene, none of the other teams you named have it. Cade will most likely lobby to keep Jaden, which will give him some extra cash.
