The NBA trade deadline is tomorrow and it looks as though the Detroit Pistons aren't going to do much, though looks can be deceiving.

The Pistons generally stay tight-lipped about their intentions, possibly because they have no more idea of what they are going to do than we do or because they are waiting to hatch their super secret plan to fix this mess. You can decide which is more likely.

There is not much being reported outside of their reluctance to trade Bojan Bogdanovic, which could be posturing or could be real, again, your guess is as good as mine.

Bojan isn't the only one who might not be with the Pistons once Friday rolls around, so let's take a look at my completely unscientific opinion about the chances each player will be traded based on the most recent reports and gut feeling.

Detroit Pistons trade deadline: Who is getting moved?

The zero percenters

Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson

The Pistons made it clear in their short negotiations for Zach LaVine that they weren't going to put any of their "blue chippers" on the table. I don't think any of these guys are untouchable, but given the names currently on the market, they might as well be, as the Pistons aren't giving up one of these players unless there is someone significant coming back.

1% chance of being traded

Marcus Sasser, Isaiah Stewart

I could see the Pistons moving one of these players in the right deal, but it's unlikely. Stewart is currently hurt and Sasser has been lighting it up when allowed to play. He's on pace to be the first rookie in the 50/40/90 club and even though I still didn't like trading up to get him, you don't trade that away unless he is a sweetener in a big deal.
