Let’s assume he plays like he has been lately for the rest of the season - finishes the year with a total shooting % of around 48%, 3 pt % of around 32% and similar other numbers. what will his next contract look like?
He’s shown some potential and guys have hung around a lot longer than they probably should have off potential and past draft position.
But he’s also been known as one of the biggest draft bust in recent history so I could see him out of the league soon, like a Josh Jackson

I think he gets the QO.
Can’t see another team offering him more than $6-8mil/yr and if they do Detroit won’t match IMO
Yall are kidding yourselves if you dont think hes hes getting 20 mill a year
For what he provides now, the absolute floor is 6-8 million yearly. Unfortunately there is a premium on potential, so I wouldn’t be shocked if another team offered him 10-12 million yearly. I would confidently match that, but anymore than that will start to hurt. Really depends on how he finishes out the season though. If he manages to finish with 10ppg on a TS of 51%-52% that would be substantial enough improvement to put him in the ballpark of 12-15 million yearly. Would really want to stick around those second rubio/smart contracts even with the inflating cap, as inefficient guards become increasingly less valuable in the league.
Whatever Payton Pritchard makes
tbh if he plays like he has been I don’t have any issue with giving him that 2/18M offer.
He’s still only 22, clearly the best person we have to run the offense.
Personally, I feel like he’s playing himself into legitimate trade conversations more than anything.
