15% chance of being traded

Kevin Knox, Joe Harris

At the beginning of the season, I would have said Joe Harris was a 100 percent lock to be traded at the deadline, but that was before I saw him play. He's been terrible, unable to crack the rotation of the league's worst team and he still has a sizeable amount of money owed to him for the rest of the season. Hard to see a team wanting to pay that much for deep bench help and it would be difficult to match salaries given Harris' $20 million price tag. Harris was a head-scratcher at the time, but now looks even worse. Troy Weaver wasted nearly all of his cap space on a player with dead legs and he won't even be able to dump him for an expiring contract. The only way Harris gets moved is in part of a bigger deal if the Pistons need his contract to make the money work, which seems unlikely at this point.

Knox hasn't been terrible this season, and given he can be had on a minimum deal, there might be some interest in bringing him back for a similar role next year. There's no reason to trade him, as he won't net the Pistons anything in return.
