What happened: The Detroit Pistons have shown interest in free agent DeMar DeRozan, according to a Yahoo Sports report circulating in NBA offseason rumor coverage. Detroit has been active this month, adding Gary Trent Jr. on a four-year contract and bringing back guard Gary Harris.
Why it matters: Detroit's recent trades cleared additional cap flexibility, giving the front office room to pursue further additions like DeRozan. Other teams have also been engaged in DeRozan's free agency this summer, with the market for the veteran scorer still open.
By the numbers: Detroit signed Gary Trent Jr. to a four-year, $64 million contract this July and added Gary Harris in a separate offseason move.
What to watch: Detroit's interest in DeRozan will be tested against competing suitors as free agency continues.
