DeMar DeRozan: 0% 

DeRozan would have to be a sign-and-trade, which makes little sense for the Pistons, who could just sign him outright now that he is an unrestricted free agent. 

Can we marvel for a second at just how awful the Bulls’ front office is? Their asset management has been criminal, and now they are likely to lose DeRozan for nothing. Be careful what you wish for, folks, as there are worse owners than Tom Gores, see Reinsdorf, Jerry for an example. 

DeRozan might have been a possibility if the Pistons hadn’t signed Tobias Harris, as he too will likely be on a short-term deal, though he will probably get more. He’s also older, though DeRozan rarely misses games. 

As with Ingram, it’s hard to see how Cade, Harris and DeRozan would co-exist.
