Piston likely to stand pat

Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports: As the trade deadline approaches, it appears that the Detroit Pistons are standing pat.

Pistons President Joe Dumars has said repeatedly he doesn't expect to make any moves before the trade deadline Thursday.

"If something were to fall into our lap, somebody we think would be a good fit for our team, we'd do it," he said. "But I don't expect anything to happen."

Head Coach Rick Carlisle also doesn't see anything happening.

"There is a chance that we would do something, but I think there is a far greater chance that we won't," he said.
