The Pistons are already fielding calls for Troy Murphy, according to sources.
Murphy is still a member of the Nets, but in the proposed three-team deal that would send Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey, he would land in Detroit.
He has already attracted interest from contenders such as Dallas, Orlando and San Antonio.
A trade is more likely than a buyout because of financial restrictions stemming from the pending sale of the Pistons.
