“But Jon Leuer is overpaid.”
Yes, this is true. Very true, in fact.
Like many players during that fateful summer of 2016, Jon Leuer ended up getting paid more money than he had any right to be.
He had all of two seasons as any sort of regular rotation player. and wasn’t all that remarkable during that time. But Stan Van Gundy decided that the Detroit Pistons needed a bigger option at power forward, so in came Leuer.
As his play declined in his first season, and then so little was spent the following off-season, it became abundantly clear that the Pistons had made a terrible mistake in giving him that money.
