The Pistons are still evaluating the prospect of pursuing DeMar DeRozan in fre
e agency, league sources say.
It is not yet certain if Detroit will indeed join Toronto as a confirmed bidde
r for the six-time former All-Star guard, but The Stein Line did learn this we
ek that the Pistons have been assessing the concept.
On one hand, Detroit is already looking at a roster crunch and still faces cha
llenging contract extension negotiations between now and Opening Night with Al
l-NBA big man Jalen Duren and defensive ace Ausar Thompson. Yet it's likewise
true that Pistons — who currently sit an estimated $46 million under the luxu
ry tax threshold to re-sign Duren and retain some flexibility for an additiona
l upgrade — do remain in need of some offensive punch in support of star guar
d Cade Cunningham.
The most notable newcomers in Motown thus far this offseason are Isaiah Joe to
add shooting and veteran forward John Collins, who essentially took Isaiah St
ewart's frontcourt spot after Stewart was dealt to Memphis.
It's believed that a more complete picture of DeRozan's suitors will emerge af
ter James picks his next team. Some of the teams that miss out on LeBron are b
ound to turn to the 36-year-old.
联盟消息人士透露，活塞仍在评估于自由球员市场上追逐 DeMar DeRozan 的可能性。
目前尚无法确定底特律是否真的会加入多伦多的行列，成为这名曾六度入选明星赛后卫的
具体出价者，但《The Stein Line》本周得知，活塞确实一直在考虑这个想法。
一方面，底特律目前已经面临名单拥挤的窘境，且从现在到开幕夜之间，还必须与入选过
年度最佳阵容的大个子 Jalen Duren 以及防守王牌 Ausar Thompson 进行艰难的合约延
长谈判。
然而同样不可否认的是，活塞目前预估低于奢侈税门槛约 4,600 万美元，可用于续约 Ja
len Duren 并保留后续补强弹性，例如仍然需要为明星后卫 Cade Cunningham 提供额外
的进攻火力支援。
这个休赛季至今，底特律最受瞩目的新成员是前来提升外线投射实力的 Isaiah Joe，以
及老将前锋 John Collins，后者在 Isaiah Stewart 被交易至孟菲斯后，基本上接替了
他在前场的位置。
外界普遍认为，在 James 选择了他的下一支球队后，争夺 DeMar DeRozan 的竞争局势将
会变得更加清晰。一些错失 LeBron 的球队，势必会将目光转向这位 36 岁的老将。

DDR目前也是被当老詹备案了，所以下家也要等老詹出来才能确定他的选择 到时候可以慢
慢选球队
然后活塞还在帮CC找更多火力，看看要不要追追看DDR了

这年头不论在哪里，DDR都涨价了～

John Collins 28岁已经算是老将了吗

现在的DDR很惨啊 哪怕在国王都是效率最差的那一个我记得DDR的on off极其惨烈但是打替补需要啥中距离硬解 没3没D的拖把远比DDR更好用吧

DDR效率低是因为在国王好吗？当个替补很好用啦

缺组织也不是找DDR啊DDR技能包就很难用关键时刻也不会摆他啊 他36岁了 已经不是球队主将了 关键时刻更不会摆只有中距离的替补

LBJ可能要来东区了 确定要恐姆DDR?
