The Detroit Pistons continue to evaluate trade offers for Andre Drummond, but a deal has been slow to materialize. 

"The market has been really slow for Andre Drummond," Adrian Wojnarowski told Stephen A. Smith.

The Pistons expect Drummond to decline his player option for the 20-21 season. The Pistons would like a first round pick for Drummond, but also would like second round picks.

"This is a player right now who has been quiet. It may pick up between now and the trade deadline, but there is not a real market out there right now Drummond," added Wojnarowski.

Markieff Morris has decided to stop wearing No. 8 in order to honor Kobe Bryant and will switch to No. 88.

“I'm just gonna go double 8s,” Morris said Wednesday morning in the Baruch College gym. “All respect to Kobe. I'm just going to put it on my jersey twice.”

Morris has joined a number of other players to "retire" the jersey of Bryant.

The Atlanta Hawks were close to trading for Andre Drummond with an offer of Chandler Parsons and a 2020 first round pick from the Brooklyn Nets to the Detroit Pistons.

The Hawks, however, were unwilling to ultimately add the pick because Drummond's contract extension demands were too high for them.

Drummond is on a $27 million contract this season and is scheduled to earn $28.7 million next season if he were to opt in. 

While the center position has been devalued in recent seasons, Drummond could be one of the more attractive players in a limited free agent market in 2020.

The Detroit Pistons have been granted a $9.2 million disabled player exception for the probable season-ending injury to Blake Griffin.

Griffin underwent surgery on his left knee earlier in January.

The Pistons are currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and multiple other teams have expressed interest in trading for Derrick Rose of the Detroit Pistons.

The Lakers and 76ers are in need of depth at point guard.

The Los Angeles Clippers also reached out to the Pistons on Rose, but it was more of a common exploratory call.

Rose asked for an extended role with more minutes from the Pistons, but he isn't looking to be traded. Rose has one more season at $7.6 million remaining on his contract.

The New York Knicks have no interest in trading for Andre Drummond, according to a source that spoke with Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Drummond can become a free agent this offseason.

While the Knicks believe in the potential of Mitchell Robinson, it wouldn't preclude them from pursuing Drummond in free agency.

The Atlanta Hawks have broken off trade talks with the Detroit Pistons on Andre Drummond.

Both sides were optimistic a deal could eventually be agreed upon involving Drummond.

The Hawks will instead remain patient with options available to them to improve at the draft and during free agency.

Detroit would have received Damian Jones, Chandler Parsons or Allen Crabbe (who was dealt to Minnesota on Thursday) and a first-round pick for Drummond.

Drummond is expected to be come a free agent and decline his $28.8 million player option for 20-21.

The Pistons are still fielding trade calls on Drumond.

The Hawks have all of their own first round picks in addition to a 2020 from the Nets and a 2022 from the Thunder.

Derrick Rose has been fined by the NBA $25,000 for throwing a pen across the court and into the stands.

The incident occurred at the end of overtime in the Detroit Pistons' 117-110 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. 

The Detroit Pistons haven't received any first round pick offers for Andre Drummond.

Drummond can become a free agent this offseason, which mitigates what teams might be willing to give up for him. Drummond has a player option worth $28.7 million next season.

The initial deal discussed between the Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks over Drummond consisted of only expiring contracts. 

Andre Drummond is receiving interest from multiple teams ahead of the February trade deadline, league sources told Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press.

Drummond is expected to be traded before the deadline.

Ellis adds that the Pistons tried to initiate trade conversations with the Knicks featuring a package built around Frank Ntilikina and Julius Randle.

Drummond requested a max contract extension with the Pistons last summer, though the team countered with an offer that was "significantly less" than what Drummond's demands.
