[外絮] 活塞考慮追求DDR
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.
聯盟消息人士透露，活塞仍在評估於自由球員市場上追逐 DeMar DeRozan 的可能性。
目前尚無法確定底特律是否真的會加入多倫多的行列，成為這名曾六度入選明星賽後衛的具體出價者，但《The Stein Line》本週得知，活塞確實一直在考慮這個想法。
一方面，底特律目前已經面臨名單擁擠的窘境，且從現在到開幕夜之間，還必須與入選過年度最佳陣容的大個子 Jalen Duren 以及防守王牌 Ausar Thompson 進行艱難的合約延長談判。
然而同樣不可否認的是，活塞目前預估低於奢侈稅門檻約 4,600 萬美元，可用於續約 Ja len Duren 並保留後續補強彈性，例如仍然需要為明星後衛 Cade Cunningham 提供額外的進攻火力支援。
這個休賽季至今，底特律最受矚目的新成員是前來提升外線投射實力的 Isaiah Joe，以及老將前鋒 John Collins，後者在 Isaiah Stewart 被交易至孟菲斯後，基本上接替了他在前場的位置。
外界普遍認為，在 James 選擇了他的下一支球隊後，爭奪 DeMar DeRozan 的競爭局勢將會變得更加清晰。一些錯失 LeBron 的球隊，勢必會將目光轉向這位 36 歲的老將。
