Teams with supposed interest in Toronto Raptors free agent Morris Peterson seem to keep falling by the wayside.

First it was The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer that reported "it appears Peterson will not play with the Cavs next season," even though Cleveland previously was reported to have interest.

Now a Detroit newspaper suggests the Pistons ? another team widely reported to have been a potential suitor ? aren't interested in the veteran swingman, either.

According to Saturday's Detroit News, "Pistons president Joe Dumars has said he wasn't particularly enamored with the rest of the available small forwards on the market (including Morris Peterson and Ruben Patterson), so there is a good chance that for the first time in at least six years, the Pistons might not use their midlevel exception."

Peterson, seen as a potential successor to Derek Fisher as the Jazz's shooting guard, is scheduled to arrive in Salt Lake City today for a recruiting visit with franchise brass.

New Orleans also is said to be one of the front-runners for Peterson, who has played all seven of his NBA seasons in Toronto.
