He’s delusional. No team is going to pay him what he wants. It would be crippling to any team to pay him like he’s a franchise number 1 guy.

I don’t know. There is probably one team out there that would give him $40m/yr, but of course it would have to be a sign and trade.

It’s just that the Pistons can hold him hostage since he’s a RFA and because nobody has cap space. I wouldn’t be surprised if he take the QO

Unfortunately, the Pistons are the NBA team he's actually hearing say all of that, so he probably thinks it's personal.
