"The contract itself, as reported by ESPN.com, involves little risk for the Pistons. Its a two-year deal at $4 million per year, but with a player option after the 2008-09 season. Perhaps the Pistons are hopeful that Brown, who generated virtually no free-agent buzz this summer, will realize he needs to produce to get another big payday, and will take advantage of this opportunity in 2008-09, then opt out of the second year. He failed to capitalize at the end of last season when he averaged just 3.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 15 games for Memphis after his trade from the Lakers. Thats in part why Brown will be making less than half of the $9.1 million he was paid in 2007-08, the last year of his previous three-year deal."
