    Seems pricey...

    But when you consider Brian Cardinal got $38 and Adonal Foyle $42, seems about right.

      Basketball contracts are really out of wack. Compared to some of the other outrageous contracts Tayshaun deserves it.

        He deserves every penny of it. He actually earned that on the court unlike many of the extensions we see just handed out.

          You also have to consider that Bobby Simmons signed a contract worth around $50M this season to join the Bucks. Plus there are talks of Mike Dunleavy demanding around $45M as well for his contract extension with the Warriors. So Prince's contract value is comparable to both of these guys who also play the same position.

            Dunleavy just signed today actually. But the terms weren't disclosed.

              You could argue that the entire starting lineup of the Pistons are at least top in each position Prince is underappreciated IMO

                The contract extension, expected to be a five-year deal in the $45 million range

                About $9M per. Ridiculous if you ask me. Kid's never done a thing in the league. I thought Mullin was doing a good job until this move.

                  Heh, I don't exactly like the move especially with Pietrus back there.. They should have just let Dunleavy become an unrestricted FA and prove to everyone that he deserves that kind of money.

                  If you think about it... atleast Dunleavy knows how to play ball and has some upside, unlike Foyle and him receiving 40+ million for just being tall.

                    You thought Foyle's contract and even Derek Fisher's was a good job?

                        Didn't even realize it. I take it back.

                        If they don't make the playoffs this year, Mully should be fired. Yep.

                          Tayshan deserves that type of money.

                          Dunleavy's might be slightly overpaided, but I dont think its by that much. He's fits well on that team.

                            Allan Houston comes to mind:

                            Would any team have given him the same deal (sans daddy's Clippers)? Many times a team simply outbids themselves. I don't think he'd be on anyone's immediate radar if he went into the summer as a FA.

                              Dunleavy is 23 years old. Comparing the two is unfair and just not right. Dunleavy still has room to improve. He's already a good passer and solid shooter. I think his ceiling is 19 ppg, 6-7 board and 3.5 assists per game.
